Music is an important part of Indian weddings. No function at an Indian wedding is without a particular feeling, and Bollywood music is sure to have the perfect song for that feeling. From sad to romantic, from lively to just fun, you are sure to find the perfect Bollywood song for every aspect of the wedding.
Mehendi: Fun, Colourful and Full of Energy
A Mehendi Party is nothing but fun, dancing, and spending time with your nearest and dearest. The perfect type of music for a Mehendi should be music that is happy and vibrant enough to make one want to dance along to its beat. Some examples of songs are "Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna" from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, "London Thumakda" from Queen, and "What Jhumka?" from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani.
Haldi: Bright, Happy and Playful
Haldi is usually a little chaotic, and that is exactly what makes it fun. You need songs that match the happy, carefree vibe of the function. “Morni Banke” from Badhaai Ho, “Cutiepie” from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and “Nachde Ne Saare” from Baar Baar Dekho are great choices. These songs work especially well when cousins, friends, and siblings decide to turn the Haldi into an unofficial dance party.
Sangeet: Time to Bring Out Your Best Moves
Sangeet is where everything gets real for performing dances. It doesn’t matter if it is a couple dance performance, a sibling dance performance, or a traditional family dance group performance, Bollywood has got enough variety in store. Songs like "Gallan Goodiyaan" from Dil Dhadakne Do, "Maan Meri Jaan" by King, and "What Jhumka?" can be added to the list of your playlist. For performing a romantic couple dance, songs like "Kesariya" from Brahmāstra are perfect.
Baarat: Turn the Energy All the Way Up
When the groom arrives, there is only one rule: the music needs to be loud, and the dancing needs to be louder. “Aankh Marey” from Simmba, “Tamma Tamma Again” from Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and “Mundian To Bach Ke” from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag are perfect for the baarat. These are the songs that get even the people who said, “I’m not dancing,” onto the dance floor.
Wedding Reception: Romantic and Elegant
The reception calls for a slightly more relaxed playlist. Romantic Bollywood songs can create the perfect background while everyone catches up, takes pictures, and celebrates the newlyweds. Songs like “Ranjha” from Shershaah, “Tum Kya Mile” from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, and “Apna Bana Le” from Bhediya bring a warm and romantic feel to the evening.
Conclusion
The best wedding playlist is one that reflects the people getting married. Mix old favourites with new Bollywood hits, add songs that mean something to the couple, and don’t forget the tracks your family cannot resist dancing to. After all, years later, it might not be the decorations you remember first, but the song that was playing when everyone was dancing together.
