Man, this is really a hard decision…if you look at my playlist of Bollywood songs, you’ll most probably see a playlist full of sad love songs. However, if you need some Hindi songs to groove to during your solo breakup party, let me give you some recs.
Break-Up Song – From Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Over the past decades, there has been quite some dislike when it comes to Bollywood breakup songs simply because you could just end up associating the song with the person you broke up with or you could end up not liking that particular song or artist. However, the Breakup Song featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma changed everything.
Although this song speaks of breakup, instead of being sad, trust me, you will end up grooving to the lyrics.
Angrezi chidiya ki khaatir
Desi dil mera tod diya
Maine chhod diya
Usey chhod diya
Uski kaali kartooton ne
Uska bhaanda phod diya
Maine chhod diya
Usey chhod diya
Dil pe patthar rakh ke
Munh pe makeup kar liya
Oh dil pe patthar rakh ke
Munh pe makeup kar liya
Mere saiyyan ji se aaj
Maine breakup kar liya
Mere saiyyan ji se aaj
Maine breakup kar liya
Subah savere uth ke maine
Ye sab kar liya
Mere saiyyan ji se aaj
Maine breakup kar liya
Humko bin bataye tune
Ye kab kar liya?
Arey humko bin bataye tune
Ye kab kar liya?
Oh tere saiyyan ji se kaahe
Tune break up kar liya
Tere saiyyan ji se kaahe
Tune breakup kar liya
Subah savere uth ke maine
Ye sab kar liya
Tere saiyyan ji se kaahe
Tune breakup kar liya
Jiya Re – From Jab Tak Hai Jaan
According to many people, it’s quite impossible to feel enthusiastic or a fanatical kind of happiness right after a break up –unless you are a playboy/playgirl of course. However, there is a Bollywood song that is powerful enough to remind you that the world’s hasn’t stopped and you should always rejoice no matter what.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan is a romantic movie that can make you cry but sung by the famous Neeti Mohan, Jiya Re is a song that can cheer you up instantly.
Chali re, chali re
Junoon ko liye
Katra, katra lamho ko diye
Pinjre se uda dil ka shikra
Khudi se maine ishq kiya re
Jiya jiya re jiya re
Jiya jiya re jiya re
Jiya jiya re jiya re jiya oh (x2)
Chali re, chali re
Junoon ko liye
Pinjre se uda dil ka shikra
Khudi se maine ishq kiyaaa re
Jiya jiya re jiya re…
Make the way for Akira…
Pop it up, move aside she is here
Hey get up everybody wanna be her
Wanna see her, she is Akira
Love You Zindagi – From Dear Zindagi
I’m not sure if there can be only one song that can be qualified as the very best for a breakup, but if I had to choose one song that can encourage you to embrace life as it is and move on no matter how hard situations can be, I’d say its “Love You Zindagi” –not just because of the evident name of the song, but because the lyrics are enough to convince you that life is too short for you to be depressing over trivial things like a breakup.
Jo dil se lage
Usey keh do Hi, Hi, Hi
Jo dil na lage
Usey keh do bye, bye, bye
Aane do, aane do
Dil mein aa jaane do
Keh do muskurahat ko
Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi
Jaane de, jaane do
Dil se chale jaane do
Keh do ghabrahat ko
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye…
Love you Zindagi
Love you Zindagi
Love you Zindagi
Love me Zindagi
Wo oo…
Kabhi haath pakad ke tu mera
Chal de, chal de
Kabhi haath chhuda ke main tera
Chal doon, chal doon
Main thodi si moody hoon
Tu thodi si tedhi hai
Kya khoob ye jodi hai
Teri Meri..
Aane do aane do
Dil mein aa jaane do
Kehdo muskurahat ko
Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi
Jaane de, jaane do
Dil se chale jaane do
Kehdo ghabrahat ko
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye…
Love you zindagi
Love you zindagi
Love you zindagi
Love me zindagi (x2)
