The Best Songs to Cool Your June Nights
By Sumita M. Sheth

As the summer heat finally begins to pound on us here in New York, we have a list of the current Top 10 Bollywood songs that seem to be doing the rounds. As happens with the clothes that we wear, this list will go through a periodic overhaul. Old favorites will be relegated to the forgotten pile as new ones become absolutely essential to our daily aural therapy.

The current mood is definitely geared towards more upbeat and dance-worthy songs like “Just Chill” and “Dhadak Dhadak”.

#8 Piya Bole from Parineeta


#9 Ban Jaiye from Silsiilay

Of course, besides all the lovely movie songs, there are the pop album songs that cannot be ignored. I have put together the names of 5 songs that are catchy. These are often remixes of very old movie songs and they absolutely rock. They are beautifully reminiscent of an old era, although my grandmother sure would freak if she saw the grinding moves from the nymphet singers on the music videos.

Chod Do Aanchal
Ek Pardesi
Kabhi Aar Kabhi Paar
Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon
Pardesiya
