It is essential for Bollywood to have its typical song and dance. Hindi films cannot do without romantic tracks, dance numbers, or item songs. Indian films have seen enough changes in trends, from “running around trees” to remixes. Considering that Bollywood movies are musicals, the packaging and picturization of their songs are just as important as their basic plot.
We must agree that, be it dance numbers or romantic ballets; songs have always been the soul of Bollywood. So, here are the top songs of 2022 and the story behind them.
Raatan lambiya
Shershaah movie’s romantic ballad song Raatan Lambiyan is based on the life of the Kargil martyr and depicts the love story of Captain Vikram Batra and Dimple Cheema. It is picturized on actors Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani in the film. Tanishk Bagchi composed the song sung by Asees Kaur and has garnered over 520 million views.
Srivalli- Pushpa
The song Srivalli, from Pushpa: The Rise, has stars like Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, and the hook step has become a social media sensation, with Indian and foreign celebrities joining in on the fun and reenacting it in Instagram reels.
Even though the original song is in Telugu, the Hindi version has received a more powerful response. From kids to even elders, everyone has been grooving to the track. That is why people of all languages watch the song in the movie. The makers are also surprised to see the response to the Hindi version of Srivalli. The recent record was that the Srivalli song is the most viewed Video in 24 Hours Worldwide.
Pasoori
“Pasoori” is a Punjabi and Urdu-language single by Pakistani singers Ali Sethi and debutant Shae Gill. This song is reminiscent of folk tunes, popular in both countries, and fused with modern beats, which has taken the world by storm. It became the fastest in Coke Studio Season 14 to garner one million views on YouTube and the third song in the 14-year history of Coke Studio to reach 300 million views on YouTube.
This song was featured in episode 4 of the Disney+ miniseries Ms. Marvel, and on August 2022, Pasoori became the third song in the 14-year history of Coke Studio to reach 300 million views on YouTube.
Oo bolega ya oo oo bolega
The masses have well-received the Hindi music album of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa. Right from the song, Srivalli, to Oo Bolega, the tracks of Pushpa have struck a right chord with the audience. Samantha Ruth Prabhu sizzles in her first-ever dance number with Allu Arjun. The peppy number is scored by the sensational music composer Devi Sri Prasad who is known for giving some of the item songs. Ganesh Acharya choreographed the song, and the Hindi version was sung by Kanika Kapoor, known to rock every party with her songs. Raqeeb Alam has penned the Hindi lyrics.
Kesariya
Brahmastra’s song ”Kesariya” is receiving a lot of love for the chemistry between Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have mentioned that they call it ‘their song’ because they resonated with it.
The palpable chemistry between soon-to-be parents and the way director Ayan Mukerji has captured the colours and vibe of Varanasi in the song video is the high point of the track. The song became an instant chartbuster, trending with 17+ million views in less than 24 hours.
