The best of all
Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua song from Shree 420

The most iconic and memorable rain song status goes go to the legendary Raj Kapoor and Nargis’s Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua from the movie, Shree 420. Possibly the most intriguing and touching sequence in this song would be when Nargis sings ‘Main na rahoongi, tum na rahoge. Phir bhi rahegin ishaniya’. This rain song sets the milestone, which many film makers have tried to copy but none have paralleled this song quite like the man himself, Raj Kapoor.

Water babe
Mandakini’s waterfall scene from Ram Teri Ganga Maili

Ram Teri Ganga Maili had Mandakini come across as an absolute revelation. While contemporaries of her era wouldn’t even dare to wear revealing outfits, it was Mandakini who donned a translucent white saree with one side swept hair looking like a million bucks. What shocked one and all is her showering in the waterfall which revealed more than what was comfortable to watch for the audiences of that generation.

She outshone him
Priyanka Chopra’s bikini moment from Dostana

Priyanka Chopra was considered a sex bomb even before she stunned us all in a sequined gold one-piece swimwear in Dostana, which set body goals for every woman. She managed to be in the limelight despite her co-star John Abraham revealing his perfectly tonned body. And that surely was a compliment for an actress in a male dominated industry.

Chiffon look
Tip Tip Barsa Paani song from Mohra

RaveenaTandon was one of the most desired ladies of the 90s and she set herself to top this list by featuring in the romantic rain song Tip Tip Barsa Pani from Mohra. She literally set the screen ablaze in the 90’s with her drenched look in a yellow chiffon saree. In fact, it’s possibly the first memory of the actress that comes to the mind when we think of her.

By the blue lake 
3 Idiots’ climax near Pangong Tso Lake, Ladakh

Pangong Tso or the Hollow Lake is one of the largest salt water lakes in Asia that is spread on an area of around 100 km. The blues waves that seem to be still create such a scenic beauty that it has been drawing filmmakers towards it. The character of Phunsuk Wandgoaka (played by Aamir Khan) who resides in Leh towards the end meets the love of his life, a runaway bride played by Kareena Kapoor Khan where they lip lock and create an ‘Aww...’ moment.

Convincing act
Shah Rukh Khan’s drunk scene from Devdas

In this scene, Devdas aka Shah Rukh Khan, gets drunk to forget his love Paro aka Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He rants in front of Chandramukhi aka Madhuri Dixit who tries to convince him to stop drinking alcohol. He then reaches a port where he discusses the timeline of his sacrifices in a courtroom drama manner. He gets so unconscious towards the end of it that he almost drowns himself. Apparently, this scene is the reason why SRK won the Best Actor awards that year.
