The festival of joy, colors, music, and food is here! The beautiful festival of Holi is here! This Friday, the entire nation will come together to celebrate with gulal and happiness. To start the festivity, we have a perfect throwback for you.
While searching through the internet, we found a 2023 video shared by cricketer Shubman Gill. In the video, he, along with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and the entire Team India, is seen celebrating Holi on a bus before their fourth Test match against Australia. The players are dancing and enjoying, while an evergreen Holi song by Amitabh Bachchan plays in the background.
Can you guess which song it is? We gave you hints – it features Amitabh Bachchan and is a must-have in every Holi playlist! Yes, it is ‘Rang Barse Bhige Chunar Wali’ from the movie ‘Silsila’, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha. This song can make any Holi party lively in no time! Shubman Gill’s video is proof of this, as it shows Team India enjoying with bright smiles and faces covered in colors.
The video starts with Virat Kohli dancing to ‘Baby Calm Down’, and then in the background, the Bollywood Holi song starts playing. Shubman Gill says, “Peeche Rang Barse baj raha hai”. Soon, the entire bus is vibing to ‘Rang Barse’ with full energy.
Watch the video here:
Released in 1981, ‘Silsila’ tells the story of a complicated love triangle. Even after so many years, it is still considered one of Bollywood’s top romantic dramas. And ‘Rang Barse Bhige Chunar Wali’ has its own special fan following. Many Holi songs have been released over the years, but none match the magic of ‘Rang Barse’.
What makes this song so special? Is it the meaningful lyrics by Amitabh Bachchan’s father, the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan? Or is it the powerful voice of Big B himself? Or maybe it’s the unforgettable melody? Whatever the reason, one thing is certain – this song makes everyone dance and enjoy Holi to the fullest!
