Bollywood has constantly portrayed Holi as a fun-filled atmosphere with vivid colors, bhang, naach-gaana with a whole lot of romance.From 1954 to 2018, every year Bollywood gives us at least one famous holi song.In this Blog I have selected some evergreen Holi Songs.
The first song of Holi was from the 1931 film ‘Ghar Ki Laxmi’. The mukhdaa of the song goes like – “Mo Pe Daar Gayo Saari Rang Rang Ki Gaagar, Kaisa Dhokha Diya. . .”. This, and many other songs of that era, are now lost.I present a song from this very first decade of Hindi films – a song from film ‘Aurat’ from 1940. ‘Aurat’ is a magnum opus by producer director Mehboob, a much celebrated film of its era
When we talk about the songs of 30s and 40s how can we forget the great K L Sehgal. He was an institution, with no parallel in the entire heritage of Hindi film music.Here I have taken a Non film song of Sehgal on Holi.It was recorded in 1933
The first memorable Holi song of the 50s is this song from 1957 film Mother India
