Rain..Baarish..Barsaat...Sawan...Paaus...Varsaad....whatever you call it. Still it will remain purest part of God's blessings on mankind. And that brings so much to us. Happiness, sorrow, crazyness, madness [to go and dance], childishness [to play in mud], 'hunger'ness [yummy Pakodaaaa...], Wander'ness', sexiness [well...umm..] 'bad'ness, 'crime'ness [nahinnn....Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chhod do..]. And much more,,,ness hi ness. [Ahem...not the Wadia.]
On a serious note, this post is a dedication to Rain in Bollywood. What would our beloved Bolly would be, without rain?
There would be no crime, like the one below, fantastic opening to one of the best thriller of recent time. Johnny Gaddar.
There wouldn't be mushy mushy romance inside when its raining outside. Just like this hot couple below, in Pyar Ke Side Effects.
Or else, there wouldn't be a gal, catching drops of rain on Nth floor at a Marine Drive Tower...Life in a Metro, such a wonderful movie which makes excellent use of Mumbai Baarish.
There would be no crime, like the one below, fantastic opening to one of the best thriller of recent time. Johnny Gaddar.
Or there wouldn't be discussions at Marine Drive, discussions abt life looking at calm see. Feeling rain - at the wall of Marina. [JTYJN]
There wouldn't be Oh...So..Hot..dances in Bollywood. Gosh..bolly, you are the inventor of most powerful (!!) form of dance. With equally amusing dressing. The sexy Saree.
[Guru+U Me aur Hum+JWM (in header)].
There would be no Pure Fun in Rain songs. I absolutely love the following -what energy is all about. Mindblowing dance movements [Aish !!!] and stupendous sound recording by Late H Shridhar, you can feel the rain all around you. And how can I forget the Gujju Doha in between..Ahh..Rahman !!
Yet another song of Rahman. Showing Fabulous visuals of life on a road, in rain. Movie Doli Saja Ke Rakhna. I don't know but it must be Santosh Sivan who had captured this.
Also not to forget 'it happened one night' movie Chameli with some great visuals of Mumbai on a rainy night.
And, there would be No Legendary Song. Do I need to describe this ??? :)
So there, are my feelings of Rainy Rainy Bollywood. And How else could I conclude this post, but with a Jumbo Playlist of Rain Songs. Its been a hectic job to find links to almost all of them. Do check them out, all links lead to YouTube. And tell me more songs. Cause I am a loser at older movies. And also tell me YOUR favorites. My Favorites are marked as ***.
I have also included the songs which do not feature rain at all. But its not just to complete the list. Do 'listen' to them. They are included cause they have all feel of Rainy day. i can tune all of them and feel beautiful rain outside.

ROFL. I had that in mind actually. But i didn't wanna include such a 'hot' song. ;) But Now surely will include. Cause there must be tons of 'fans', na?
Nida
Thanks. The Fanaa song is definitely under hot favorite of mine. [see header] But I didn't like the way it concluded. Kajol is not made for that, does she?
Hullahaha
Welcome to my blog. I have to search for Gardish. I can remember some scenes from the movie. Maybe a fight sequence, but have to search for the song, and will include soon.

http://dustedoff.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/ten-of-my-favourite-monsoon-songs/
Rajshri movie "Paheli" (old one) had a lovely rain song - "sona karey jhil mil, bishti padey tapor tupur, tip tip tapur tupur" - the entire song is picturised in rain.
ReplyDeleteHi,
