Holi is as much incomplete without music as it is without colours, music, Bhaang, and lots more. As the nation immerses itself into a whirlwind of celebrations, we have a look at some of the most memorable and iconic songs.

Rang Barse- Silsila (1981)

Amitabh Bachchan was having a ball in this immensely contagious chartbuster that forced everyone to put on their dancing shoes. Yash Chopra's formidable romantic saga pulled off one of the greatest casting coups, coupled by an equally formidable soundtrack.

Soni Soni- Mohabbatein (2000)

Two decades after Silsila, Bachchhan and Chopra teamed up for Mohabbatein where the man was too principled to play the festival. The dazzle turned into dourness with the character of Narayan Shankar. Good thing the film also had Shah Rukh Khan who encouraged all the fun and frolic. He dances to the T, with an equally spirited spirit of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Do Me A Favour- Waqt (2005)

This was a rare Holi song that was just as intimate as it was colorful. Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra's electric chemistry stayed long with fans. Alas, this was the last time we saw the duo on celluloid together. Given the intensity on display, this isn't the kind of number we could shake our legs on with friends. We need a partner.

Balam Pichkari- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

Naina has transformed into someone she didn't know existed inside her. Her first way to celebrate her rediscovery is to celebrate Holi. She even manages to make Bunny and Avi dance. Vishal and Shekhar's pulsating dance number is truly for the ages.

Jai Jai Shiv Shankar- War (2019)

Of course, no one can replicate Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff's dance moves. So how exactly one should go about it? Just do whatever comes to your mind and heart.
