7 Most Beloved Bollywood Monsoon Songs That You Can Play In a Loop

No matter how messy or wet, we love monsoons! And nowhere is the season more welcome than in India, where a shower can almost feel divine after a scorching summer. Don’t know about you, but from where we sit, the rainy weather is signalling a perfect opportunity to sit back, plug in the earphones, and lose ourselves in the melody of these all-time monsoon favourites.

• Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si: Karaoke Who can forget the iconic serenading of Madhubala by Kishore Kumar in this quirky but fun rain song, voiced by Kumar himself. This song is a typical Bollywood singin’-in-the-rain musical in every sense of the word, where the hero tries to solve the mystery behind a strange, lone and dripping heroine in the middle of the night with a broken-down car, all the while trying to repair it too, as well as sing and dance. It’s no small feat.

• Pyar Hua Iqrar Hua Hai: Karaoke You cannot compile a list of the best rain songs of all time and not include the legendary ‘Pyaar Hua Iqrar Hua Hai’ by Manna Dey. In fact, not only is it a must-include, it is also an all-time top-ranker. One of the best features of this brilliant piece of art, apart from its amazing musical composition and the evergreen Raj Kapoor and Nargi's duo, is its superb picturization of a howling rain in the night.

1. Rimjhim Gire Saawan: Karaoke No matter how many artistes try to recreate this iconic song, the spell that was first cast by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar in the 1979 movie Manzil, with the sight of rain-soaked Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi roaming the city of Mumbai, just as rain-soaked as them, is something that no other has truly been able to replicate. This song was, and remains, so popular that this film, in spite of an average run at the box-office, is known only because of this song.

1. Aaj Rapat Jaaye: Karaoke Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle composed Aaj Rapat Jayein is a song that has Monsoon fun and frolic at its core. The lyrics and the melody, coupled with Amitabh Bachchan and Smita Patil romancin’ in red and white, are so much fun, that anyone would echo Bachchan’s line “If I fall today, don’t pick me up” when the song ends.

1. Rimjhim Rimjhim: Karaoke Every once in a while you get a Bollywood film which is not just a treat to watch, but a melodious musical box that never stops spinning. ‘1942, A Love Story’ was one such film; so ripe with beautiful compositions and melodies and voices, you never want the album to finish. The song ‘Rimjhim Rimjhim’, sung by Kumar Sanu and Kavita Krishnamurthy, is a singular gem of the entire album. Probably because it is the point where Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala’s character profess their love for each other.
