Hello, my lovely Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite snoop, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back again to sprinkle some spice on your Lohri celebrations! As the cold winds bid us adieu, the crackling bonfires of Lohri light up our spirits and the night sky. This harvest festival, celebrated every January 13th, is all about unity, hope, and a chance to show off those dance moves that we normally reserve for our bathroom mirrors! 😜
Ah, Lohri! A time when newlyweds and new parents bask in the glow of the bonfire, sharing sweets and blessings. And let’s not forget the all-important dance around that fire! Trust me, if you haven’t circled a bonfire with your squad while grooving to some killer tunes, are you even celebrating Lohri?
So, without further ado, here’s my curated playlist to get your Lohri party started!
Lo Aa Gayi Lohri Ve
First up, we have the classic from ‘Veer-Zaara,’ starring the ever-charming Shah Rukh Khan and the lovely Preity Zinta. With Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini completing the celebrity filled cast, this tune is a must-play. Sung by legends Lata Mangeshkar, Udit Narayan, and Gurdas Mann, this peppy number will have you feeling all sorts of festive vibes. 🎶
Paa De Lohri
Next, let’s get traditional with Raj Ghuman’s ‘Paa De Lohri.’ This one’s for the newlyweds and new mamas out there. It’s all about exchanging gifts and blessings, marking fresh starts and new beginnings. Perfect for singing along while you pass around the gajak and rewari!
Sauda Khara Khara
If you’re not dancing like nobody’s watching, are you even celebrating Lohri? Enter ‘Sauda Khara Khara’ from ‘Good Newwz’, featuring Akshay Kumar and Diljit Dosanjh. With Diljit, Dhvani Bhanushali, and Sukhbir on vocals, this track will have you owning the dance floor like a Punjabi superstar! 💃
Bhangra Ta Sajda
And speaking of dance floors, ‘Bhangra Ta Sajda’ from ‘Veere Di Wedding’ is your go-to jam. With Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Hindi Movie News, and Shikha Talsania leading the charge, this one’s bound to get everyone from your grandma to your little cousin up and dancing.
Oh Ho Ho Ho
Last but definitely not least, the iconic ‘Ishq Tera Tadpave’ aka ‘Oh Ho Ho Ho’ by Sukhbir. This 2008 hit is the secret ingredient that turns a meh gathering into a legendary party. If you haven’t danced to this song yet, can you even call yourself a party animal? 🕺
As Lohri celebrates the end of the chilly season and welcomes in longer days, it’s a reminder that life, much like Bollywood, is about moving forward with a dance in your step and a song in your heart.
Nisha’s Nutshell: It’s simple, darlings—when life gives you Lohri, grab a dhol, call your friends, and dance around a bonfire like no one’s watching. Because in the grand Bollywood film of life, we’re all the heroes of our own song and dance! 🌟
