From Coke Studio Bharat’s fresh take on festive beats to timeless Bollywood anthems, here’s your go-to Holi playlist:
A Holi party without this song? Unthinkable! Amitabh Bachchan’s unmistakable baritone, set to the compositions of Shiv-Hari and penned by legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, makes this an evergreen festive anthem. The rhythmic beats and playful lyrics capture the spirit of Holi like no other.
Inspired by the exhuberant Holi festivities of Mathura and Vrindavan, Holi Aayi Re is more than just a song—it’s an emotion. This musical tribute to the rich legacy of Awadhi folk upholds the storytelling traditions of legends like Girija Devi, seamlessly blending folk authenticity with a contemporary sonic experience. Renowned as the “Folk Queen of India,” Malini Awasthi infuses the track with her timeless charm, while Vishal Mishra’s soulful depth and Prateeksha Srivastava’s refreshing vocals create a harmonious fusion of tradition and modernity, bridging generations through music.
If there’s one song that guarantees everyone hitting the dance floor, it’s this Ranbir-Deepika hit. Vishal Dadlani and Shalmali Kholgade’s energetic vocals, paired with Pritam’s peppy composition and Amitabh Bhattacharya’s quirky lyrics, make it an instant mood-lifter for Holi celebrations.
A powerful mix of folk, rap, and cinematic grandeur, this track truly captures the essence of India’s diverse musical landscape. Featuring the soulful Maithili Thakur, the hard-hitting verses of Seedhe Maut, the unmistakable presence of Ravi Kishan, and Mahan’s dynamic composition, this song is a unique take on Holi that bridges the gap between generations.
Playful, peppy, and packed with Bollywood-style fun, this track is practically made for colour fights. Sunidhi Chauhan’s feisty delivery, coupled with Anu Malik’s lively composition (and his own quirky vocals), adds to the song’s unfiltered energy, making it a Holi favourite.
Ending the list with a classic, this R.D. Burman-composed gem is all about old-school Holi nostalgia. Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar’s lively duet, combined with Anand Bakshi’s joyful lyrics, embodies the festival’s spirit of togetherness and revelry.
