Ye mausam ki baarish, ye baarish ka paani...

Bollywood has been synonymous with rains and rain sequences. Rain songs are a delight and we are sure our Bollywood singers also have their personal favourite rain song! Let’s have a look at our favourite singer’s favourite songs this monsoon season:

Monsoon magic

Sukhwinder Singh

My favourite rain song is Aaj Mera Jee Karda (Kavan Kavan) from the movie Monsoon Wedding.

Fluid love

Monica Dogra

My favourite monsoon song is Taal by AR Rahman. It sounds so liquid and lovely.... it’s ambient but still exciting. A.R. Rahman is my all-time favourite.

Past perfect

Hard Kaur

My favourite song for rainy season is Rim jhim rim jhim rum jhum rum jhum from the movie 1942 A Love Story.

Classic note

Aditi Paul

I love the monsoon! My favourite song would be Pyaar Hua Iqraar Hua... this song is the ultimate classic monsoon melody, speaking of the promises of eternal black and white romance. Second song is Barso Re Megha from Guru.

Endless journey

Shalmali Kholgade

My favourite monsoon song is Safar from Jab Harry Met Sejal. It’s got an acoustic guitar riff that lines the song beautifully. It makes me feel like the road I’m driving on is endless.

O saathi re

Jonita Gandhi

My Bollywood picks for rains would be O saathi re (Omkara) and Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai (Meenaxi).

Sensuous sequence

Sophie Choudry

I think I have two favourites. One is Bheegi bheegi raaton mein…the killer combination of Panchamda, Anand Bakshi, Kishoreda and Lataji is absolutely magical! Another favourite is Tip tip barsa paani. It is the most sensuous rain song ever.

Chai paani

Tanvi Shah

Rain by Madonna and Megha re megha from Lamhe.... Madonna song because it was the first time I tasted chai with my nani. They used to talk about how tea and samosas taste better on a rainy day. She then used to let us just run into the garden and get all drenched and jump around in the puddles.

Of unrequited love

Meiyang Chang

For me, the perfect rain song is Phir Le Aya Dil from Barfi. While technically not a monsoon song, this beautiful melody about unrequited love gets me every single time and makes it rain in the realm of my heart, if that makes any sense.

Heart to heart

Akriti Kakkar

My heart, My life from Night Song by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Micheal Brook. This song transports me to my own fantasy land. It’s so sublime yet powerful that it’s almost like a spell. I was introduced to this about five years back and it’s still what comes to my mind with the first downpour.
