Of all the different musical notes that have denoted the sound of payals and ghoongroos through the history of Bollywood films, Chamma chamma is our favourite. Our team of girls, and the handful of men, unanimously agree that Pehla nasha has to feature under this subhead -at any cost! No game of Antakshari can be complete without Aamir Khan jumping from various heights, evidently in the throes of first love.Backup option: Chanda re (Sapnay, 1997) Plus, it featured a guitar-in-hand hero, who (to top it all) was cute! Backup option: Ghoonghat ki aad se dilbar ka (Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, 1993)ĬHAHE TUM KUCH NA KAHO (JO JEETA WOHI SIKANDAR, 1992) GHAR SE NIKALTE HI (PAPA KEHTE HAI, 1996)Īt a time when songs were composed to match pelvic thrusts, this was the song that all the then intellectuals were listening to. This is the song that marked the transition from lyrics penned to the beloved's eyes to paying tribute to the ladylove's sunnies.Backup option: Gawah hai chand taarein gawah hai (DaminiLightning, 1993) GORE GORE MUKHDE PE KALA KALA CHASMA (SUHAAG, 1994) Because, listen to that absolutely sexist, degrading, cant-get-outta-my-head lyrics, set to that cheesy but delightfully catchy tune.That, right there, is ragging my friend! Backup option: Khoya khoya chaand (Kala Bazar, 1960) Thank God the song was shot before UGC issued strict anti-ragging guidelines. PS: All characters in this inference are fictitious and bear no resemblance to anybody, dead or alive.Backup option: Kya hua tera wada (Yaadon Ki Baaraat, 1973) It escaped Bhagyashree's clutches, flew right past Salman Khan's ears and landed in Pakistan, where it was groomed as a national spy. Yes, it's the same bird that's in the midst of the raging `spy pigeon controversy' now. KABOOTAR JA JA JA* (MAINE PYAR KIYA, 1989) O MERE DIL KE CHAIN (MERE JEEVAN SAATHI, 1972)Ī song that proved to us that Rajesh Khanna's eyebrows could singlehandedly take on Mithun Chakraborty, Pravu Deva, Hrithik Roshan in a dance off! End of story.Backup option: O mere sona re (Teesri Manzil, 1966) Baby-faced Aamir and Juhi, college excursions with friends, crossing off dates on a calendar -oh the joys of first love! Backup option: Ae kash ke hum (Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, 1994) The proclamation of undying love -that's what this song was all about. We had absolutely no clue what the song meant (some of us still haven't fig ured it out) back then.Heck, we spent the better part of our lives thinking it was, `ek din beet jaayega maati ke mol'' and yet, we couldn't do without it.Backup option: Ae ji o ji (Ram Lakhan, 1989)ĪYE MERE HUMSAFAR (QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK, 1988)HUMSAFAR (QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK, 1988) Period.Backup option: Ude jab jab zulfen teri (Naya Daur, 1957)ĮK DIN BIK JAYEGA, MAATI KE MOL (DHARAM KARAM, 1975) On the other hand, Raaj Kumar and Dilip Kumar sure rocked the bromance in this one.Backup option: Ichak dana bichak dana (Shree 420, 1955)Ī young Govinda, A pre-makeover bushy-browed Karisma Kapoor, a rustic landscape and an elephant.They owned the '90s. The only song in the vast repertoire of Bollywood Holi songs that doesn't talk about Holi! And contrary to what your might think, it also doesn't talk about tamarind or plum. I don't give a damn about your opinions anyway.Backup option: Aaja aayi bahar (Rajkumar, 1964) Here's woman's lib, '90s style.Aaj main aage, zamana hai peeche = Eat sh*t society. And that crazy hand movement which seemed to say, “ooh, ki jhaal!“ Aah, memories.Backup option: Adaayein bhi hai (Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, 1991)ĪAJ MAIN UPAR (KHAMOSHI: THE MUSICAL, 1996)įeminists, get your history right. ARE RE ARE YE KYA HUA (DIL TO PAGAL HAI, 1997)
