What’s a road trip without music, right? How can you even travel if there’s no soft melody transporting you down a whirlpool of memories as you gaze through the car window? Or, what kind of vibe would there be in a car packed with friends if there are no loud songs playing to sing and grove along with?
When traveling, music is as important as a travel kit of essentials. And, if you are a die-hard fan of Bollywood, there should always be an updated playlist of your all-time Bollywood favorites ready for your road trip. And, here are some of our recommendations!
Ude Dil Befikre – Befikre
« Le compte à rebours de l’amour
Le compte à rebours de l’amour
Le compte à rebours de l’amour
Le compte à rebours de l’amour
Dix, neuf, huit, sept, six,
Cinq, quatre, trois, deux… un!! »
Sung by Benny Dayal and Sophie Choudry, this 2016 Indian song conveys a short, simple and crystal-clear message: fly with a carefree heart, do whatever you want, have loads of fun and live life to the fullest. The lyrics of the song are aimed at adding up to the notion that “one should live life freely, without being bound by any social concerns as life is very short.”This song also has wonderful tuning and honestly, Ranveer Singh has again proved that there’s no better fun-loving actor than him.
Anyway, back to the point, no matter where you are traveling to, Ude Dil Befikre can accompany you on your trip to “live life to the fullest!”
Sau Aasmaan –Baar Baar Dekho
Usually, the destination of your trip doesn’t matter as much as the journey itself. If there’s one song I love listening to while traveling it’s this one and let me tell you that it’s just not the awesome music and the ground-breaking beats that can make anyone want to dance; it’s the voice – the voice of one of the most talented Indian playback singers whose name is Armaan Malik. He has a very soulful and melodious voice and listening to his voice will motivate you from a deep core heart.
“Aakhon ko..
Teri aadat hai
Tu dikhe na toh inhe shikayat hai Bin chuye chu liye hain
Tune mujhko diye hain
Pyaar ke ye tarane janiya
Ye jo ab ho raha hai
Kuch ajab ho raha hai
Kya yahi hai pyar ka hai ehsaas Sau aasmaano ko
Aur do jahaano ko
Chhod ke aayi tere paas”
Hum Jo Chalne Lage – Jab We Met
If there’s one song that pretty much defines a road trip, it’s this one. Whether you are on a trip in a car or in a jeep packed with your friends, you have to listen to this song. From the hit movie Jab We Met, this Indian song features one of Bollywood’s famous former couples: Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shahid Kapoor and I tell you, this is a classic road trip song.
« Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha … manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste
Hum joh chalne lage
Chalne lage hai yeh raaste
Aa ha ha … manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste
Aao kho jaye hum
Ho jaye hum yoon lapata”
Matargashti – Tamasha
Composed by the famous A.R Rahman and sung by Mohit Chauhan, Matargashti is a song that can make you feel lost in a world of your own. Again, the destination doesn’t matter; put on your earplugs and you’ll see how this song will make your travel be much more worthwhile.
“Matargashti khuli sadak mein
Tagdi tadak bhadak mein
Aule girre sulagte se
Sulagte se sadak mein
Chatri na thi bagal mein
Aaya hi na akal mein
Ke bhage hum ya bheege hum
Akkad mein toh socha phir”
