Holi ka tyohaar aaya, rangeen khushi saath laaya…
The word ‘Holi’ itself brings out the very spirit of colour, festivity and joy. Bonding of family and friends, just like how different colours come together, to spend a day in mirth and play…
Like how Holi is incomplete without water and colour, the festive atmosphere is set in perfectly with the entry of songs and dance. And of course, when there is lot of colours around what’s better than having the company of our colourful cinema. Over years films have influenced the very essence of playing Holi.
Some of the memorable songs from our movies have become part and parcel of this colourful fest and have been adding colours to the celebrations. Gaana-vaana, bhaang, family games – the day is celebrated in a filmy style these days.
To warm up things, one would take the help of this classic film ‘Navrang’ (1959), with its popular number “Are Ja Re Hat Natkhat”. And slowly things will get started picking from there. There will be several Amitabh Bachchcans in the gang who will groove in his unique dancing style – from the tunes of “Ranga Barse” (Silsila) to “Holi Khele Raghuvira” (Baghban).
One won’t leave behind this song “Ang Se Ang Lagana” from ‘Darr’ while the younger lot would prefer to rock on “Let's play Holi” (Waqt - Race Against Time). It’s the time to play naughty; it’s to flirt… This song from ‘Mohabbatein’ – “Soni Soni” – presents a colourful, musical gala amidst different jodis.
So make your pick from our filmy bhandaar (read treasure) and set the mood for a rang bhirangee celebration! Wishing you all a happy and colourful Holi!
