What a delighfully curated list. I could hear the beats as I went through it. My fave is Rimjhim and Bheegi Bheegi raton mein. Just put those on YouTube now, hoping the weather will melt too hearing the lovely beats and bring in the much-needed rain to our parts.
It’s a great mix of upbeat and slow numbers Samata. You know I was humming while reading your descriptions? My favourites among the list are rimjhim girey sawan and tum se hi… I love doing the karaoke on these two songs as well… although both are male songs😀
Lovely collection of songs. You have some of my favorites. I have not heard the Jab We Met one and I will hear it for sure.
Romance and Rains are almost synonymous in India to us. Thank you so much for rekindling the memory of these beautiful songs. My personal favorite is ” Savan barse Tarse dil” from the movie Dahek.
What a delightful list you have curated, Samata. Includes almost all my favorite picks. I am a bit partial to the golden melodies though.
Perfect list of songs for a rainy day! Sitting with a cup of tea watching the rain pour down while these beautiful compositions play in the background is the best feeling ever.
These are such a beautiful list of songs, I love hindi songs especially the olden days are golden numbers. Ofcourse the new songs are good but there are a few like some that you mentioned which actually have meaning and touch ur heart.
This list is amazing samata… I found myself humming along to the song as I read through the list. 🤭
My husband and I share a deep love for old Hindi songs. In fact, he sings them on karaoke every day! I’ll definitely recommend these songs for us to enjoy during the rainy weather in India. It’s the perfect way to add an extra touch of magic to the cozy atmosphere.
All of these ten songs are on my playlist, Samata. Your choice is excellent. From retro ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si to Ashiqui.
Lovely compilation! Rim jhim gire is my favourite. During the monsoons i love listening to slow romantic numbers like this.
Woderful. Barso re… What a list of rain songs they
Are soothing best with hot cup of coffee and the view of the slow down pour.
Quite a beautiful playlist.
Each song is a gem! Love every one of them. What a wonderful playlist for a rainy day. One glass of chai and these songs….wow!
Oh what a fabulous playlist this is! I’m adding them all to my spotify so that I can listen to them during monsoons 🙂
Each of these sons is my favourite. I’ll share a fun fact with you… when we were posted in DINJAN (Assam), we went for regular walks. and it so happened that whenever this song “Rim Jhim Gire Sawan” played on our playlist it would start raining and we had to either run for cover or walk home soaked in rain!
Rain, Bollywood, and music seem to have a strong connection. There are so many iconic Hindi songs, and I guess all generations of heroes and heroines have sung in the rain. My all time favourite is the song from Manzil.
Such a groovy collection of rainy day songs, it even captures few of my favorite songs too.
Great customized list.
Me and my father are such a big fan of bollywood songs and these are his favourites, rik jhim gire sawan, roop tera mastana and of course mine is Tum hi ho. Thankyou for reviving so many memories 😃

Well, “Pyaar hua,ikraar hua”, “Tip-Tip Barsa pani”, “Barso Re Megha (for the love of Aishwarya Rai)” are among my favorite old songs. “Tum se Hi” & “Tum hi Ho” are contemporary adorable melodies.
