Holi without Bollywood songs? Nah, that¡¯s like gujiya without khoya¡ªjust not happening! Every year, as the festival of colors rolls in, we find ourselves drenched head to toe in vibrant hues, bhang-induced laughter, and, most importantly, banger Holi tracks that refuse to leave our playlists. So, let¡¯s get into it¡ªthe ultimate ranking of Bollywood¡¯s best Holi songs, because let¡¯s be real, some tracks hit harder than others!
If Holi had a national anthem, Rang Barse would be it! Amitabh Bachchan¡¯s deep, mischievous voice combined with lyrics that scream "thodi si masti, thoda pyaar" makes this a song that generations have grooved to. Whether you're a ¡®90s kid or Gen Z, one sip of bhang and this song is automatically on loop.
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone turned Holi into the most aesthetic, youthful, and wildly fun festival with Balam Pichkari. This song is the perfect mix of flirt, fun, and high-energy beats that make you want to grab that pichkari and get messy. Millennials had Rang Barse, Gen Z has Balam Pichkari.
This track from Sholay gives major retro vibes. If your parents aren¡¯t dancing to Holi Ke Din, are you even celebrating Holi right? Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar¡¯s voices, plus Dharmendra and Hema Malini¡¯s on-screen chemistry, make this one for the old-school romantics.
Bollywood gave us an action-packed Holi song when Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff decided to flex their insane dance skills in Jai Jai Shivshankar. This track is all about high-energy moves, dhol beats, and that perfect Holi party mood. If you¡¯re not breathless after dancing to this, you¡¯re doing it wrong.
Imagine Holi, shaadi, and pure chaos packed into one song¡ªthat¡¯s Badri Ki Dulhania for you. Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt brought the house down with this peppy number, making it the go-to jam for when your Holi party needs that extra desi tadka.
Admit it¡ªyou love it, even if you roll your eyes every time someone plays it. Anu Malik¡¯s weirdly addictive Do Me a Favor Let¡¯s Play Holi is that one song you pretend to hate but will low-key break into a dance when it comes on. It¡¯s chaotic, it¡¯s dramatic, and let¡¯s be honest, Holi isn¡¯t complete without a little cringe.
From iconic Amitabh Bachchan tracks to new-age Ranbir Kapoor bangers, from Ang Se Ang Lagana, to Jogi Ji, Bollywood has given us Holi songs that refuse to age. So this Holi, crank up the volume, grab that pichkari, and let the madness unfold¡ªbecause nothing says Bura Na Mano Holi Hai like a playlist that slaps!
