Sometimes thanks to the rains, the love blossoms between the lead actors, and sometimes actresses just showcase how happy they are to dance in rains.

So, today let’s look at the list of famous rain songs from Bollywood movies…


Ek Ladki Bhigi Bhagi Si

We start with Ek Ladki Bhigi Bhagi Si from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. The song featured Kishore Kumar and Madhubala. Composed by S.D.Burman and sung by Kumar, it is surely a wonderful song about a guy describing a girl who gets drenched in the rains. Well, the way Kishore Kumar teased Madhubala in the song, it surely impressed us.

Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua Hai

Raj Kapoor’s Shree 420 had some amazing songs and one of them of Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua Hai. It is clearly one of the most romantic tracks of Bollywood and rain set-up made it more impactful. How can we forget the beautiful chemistry between Raj Kapoor and Nargis in the song!

Rim Jhim Gire Sawan

Rim Jhim Gire Sawan from Manzil featured Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee. The song composed by R.D Burman and sung by Lata Mangeshkar, wonderfully captured the different locations of Mumbai during rains. Also, the cute chemistry between Big B and Moushumi Chatterjee was one of the highlights of the track.

Aaj Rapat Jaye

While in Rim Jhim Gire Sawan, Amitabh Bachchan showcased his calm and composed avatar, he was totally opposite in Aaj Rapat Jaye from Namak Halal. He was seen dancing in the rains and openly flirting with Smita Patil.

Megha Re Megha

Lamhe is mostly known for the song Morni Baga Ma, but when we talk about the songs of rains, we have to mention Megha Re Megha from the film. Sridevi’s entry in the film happens with this track and one glimpse of the actress dancing and we have a smile on our face. Ila Arun and Lata Mangeshkar’s voice did wonders for this song.

Rim Jhim Rim Jhim

Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 1942: A Love Story is still remembered for the wonderful songs and one of them is Rim Jhim Rim Jhim. Set against the backdrop of rains, the romantic number featured Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala and their chemistry in the song was simply amazing.

Tip Tip Barsa Paani

The lyrics of the song is, ‘Tip tip barsa paani, paani ne aag laga di…’, but it was Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon’s sizzling chemistry that had set the screens on fire. Clearly, this is one of the hottest rain songs. The track is now being recreated by Akshay and Katrina, let’s see if it will be equally sizzling.

Ghanan Ghanan

Ghanan Ghanan from Lagaan showcased that how rains are not less than a celebration for the farmers in India. On seeing the clouds, the whole village starts dancing and how they are excited to welcome rains. At the end of the song, it doesn’t rain and as an audience, we were also left disappointed just like the characters of the film.

Barso Re

Watching Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dancing is always a treat. She danced her heart out in the song Barso Re from Guru. The song was composed by AR Rahman, sung by Shreya Ghoshal and choreographed by Saroj Khan, the trio came up with the perfect rain song. Also, the hook step of the track had become quite famous.

Cham Cham

It is said that if there’s a rain song in a Shraddha Kapoor film and she gets drenched then the movie will surely be hit. Shraddha has featured in many songs where we see her getting drenched in rain, but her most famous song is Cham Cham from Baaghi. The actress showed off her amazing dance moves in the track and impressed us a lot.

"I didn't know what sexy meant": Jennifer Love Hewitt reflects on being sexualized as a teenager

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently reflected on her early years in Hollywood, revealing how she was sexualised as a teenager without fully understanding it at the time. In a candid conversation on Mayim Bialik’s 'Breakdown' podcast, the 45-year-old actress shared that at just 16, she was subjected to inappropriate comments from grown men about her body, particularly her breasts. These remarks were often made openly in interviews, which Hewitt now finds disturbing, given the context of her age.

Hewitt, who became famous after starring in I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, recalled how the attention on her physical appearance increased after she appeared on the cover of 'Maxim' in 1999. Men would approach her, mentioning how they took her magazine on trips, but at the time, she didn’t fully grasp the sexual undertones of these comments. “I didn’t know what that meant,” she admitted, adding that it felt strange to be labelled a sex symbol before even knowing what being "sexy" meant.
