10 BEST SONGS to DANCE on Holi

The festival of colors is here and it’s time to splash your loved ones with gulaal and water. And to double up your revelries, we present a playlist of 10 best Holi songs that will make you groove today.

Rang Barse (Silsila): Nothing beats Amitabh Bachchan flirting with the sensuous Rekha while splashing her with colours on Holi. Silsila had Big B crooning in his famous baritone the very lines written by his revered poet father while Rekha looked on with love in her eyes.

Holi Ke Din Dil Mil Jaate Hai (Sholay): If Silsila had Amitabh and Rekha, Sholay’s iconic Holi number had real lovers Hema Malini and Dharmendra serenading each others with colours. But what took the cake in the movie was Gabbar’s (Amjad Khan) aggressive enquiry, “Holi kab hai..Kab hai Holi.”

Ang Se Ang Lagana (Darr): SRK’s psychotic lover gaze prevailed over this folk themed Holi song featuring Juhi Chawla and muscleman Sunny Deol. Amitabh’s Rang Barse too makes an appearance in the song. The high point is to watch a fully caked SRK beating the drums wildly.

Aaj Na Chodenge Bas Humjoli (Kati Patang): When Rajesh Khanna decided to drench a white sari donning Asha Parekh with colours, Holi truly came to life in the 70s. If you need a peaceful soulful melody while applying colours on your loved ones, this song would be the perfect choice.

Arre Ja Re Hat Natkhat (Navrang): This one has yesteryear stars Mahipal, Sandhya and Ullas dressed up as gods playing Holi with water and colours. A vintage song that senior citizens will perfectly enjoy.

Holi Khele Raghuveera (Baghban): Amitabh Bachchan has featured in some of the most iconic Holi songs. Baghban was again immortalized by his baritone that showed the legendary actor dancing enthusiastically with Hema Malini.

Do Me A Favour Let's Play Holi from Waqt- A Race Against Time (2005): Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra sizzled in this super hot Holi number as they grooved to the racy vocals of Anu Malik and Sunidhi Chauhan. This one also has Akshay Kumar dancing only the way he can mixing martial arts with normal dance moves.

Holi Ayi Re Kanhaiyi Rang Barse (Mother India): Yet another old classic featuring Nargis and Sunil Dutt. This one’s a slow and easy paced number perfect for a peaceful Holi. It’s a sight to behold to see a young Sunil Dutt being playfully teased by Nargis in this iconic number.

Balam Pichkari (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani): No other song captures the essence of Holi for the new generation than this pulsating number from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Get into your hot pants, tie a bandana on your head and jump into the revelries with your girlfriend/boyfriend. This feet-tapping number will get your pulses racing for sure.

Soni Soni (Mohabbatein): After Amitabh, only SRK has the distinction of having starred in some iconic romantic Holi numbers. This one from Mohabbatein had the modern day king of romance teaching a bunch of youngsters how to fall in love. Holi and its bright colours provided the perfect backdrop.
