New Delhi: Daler Mehndi is a musical trailblazer in every essence. From his dancing scores to his musical notes, his fashion sense, and his vocal range, he continues to rule the hearts of millions of people across the globe. Among all the greatest Hindi Pop icons of our times, Daler Mehndi is a name to reckon with good music. Even after 27 years since his debut, he still rules the party chartbusters. Ranging from Bollywood to hit singles, from Bolo Tara Ra Ra to Garda Uda Diya, there is a song for every event. Here is a toast to some of the evergreen chartbusters by him. Take a look at the 15 party songs by the legend you can play at your New Year party.
1. Bolo Tara Ra Ra:
Without a second thought, Bolo Tara Ra Ra is a must-mention on the list. Mehndi's debut album was released in 1995. And the rest is history. This song is still one of the top-playing party songs especially everywhere in North India.
2.Main Dardi Rab Rab:
The song was released in 1996. It was an era of independent music in India and this song created ripples in the Indi-pop scenario like other Mehndi songs. Surprisingly, this song again became a rage in the era of gram reels. With a hint of rapping in this song when it was still a foreign concept, this song is a pioneer in its own terms.
3. Ho Jayegi Balle Balle:
The very next year saw another hit by Mehndi. In 1997, Ho Jayegi Balle Balle was released, and since then it's a party favourite song.
4. Tunak Tunak Tun:
Released in 1998, Mehndi's Tunak Tunak Tun became one of the iconic music videos. It was the first Indian music video made using chroma key technology. Unlike Mehndi's other videos, here he is the only one featured in four different avatars. Once, BTS star RM also revealed that Tunak Tunak Tun is quite famous in Korea, and that he sang this in school when he was 14.
5. Karle Baby Dance Wance:
2008 saw Mehndi's one more phenomenal song from the movie Hello. Though the movie tanked at the box office, this song is still a party anthem.
6. Garda Uda Diya:
2021 again saw Mehndi creating a party hook with his song Garda Uda Diya from Atrangi Re. The signature tune has become synonymous with the film's identity.
7. Raula Pai Gaya
2011 saw one of his independent music hits. Who would have imagined a mini Punjab celebration in Mumbai's iconic Dhobi Ghaat? Well, there is Raul Pai Gaya for you, an ultimate party hit.
8. Zor ka Jhatka:
Remember the film where Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai played a middle-aged couple, trying to rekindle their marital life? It was the 2010 film, ‘Action Replayy’. Well, most of us may have forgotten the film ‘Action Replayy’, but one cannot deny the fact that Zor Ka Jhatka has made its own identity. An all-time Daler Mehndi party hit is sure to stay there for many more years to come.
9. Nachley:
Daler Mehndi's earthen voice can make anyone dance for sure. The 2004 film ‘Lakeer’ saw many not-so-fond-of-dancing actors in it. But who would believe after listening to ‘Nachley’ that it featured Suniel Shetty, Sunny Deol, and John Abraham?
10. Ishq Nachave:
2021 saw the Badshah of Indi-pop back with his independent music album. The title track from the eponymous album does set the party-chord right.
11. Aila Re Ailaa:
Remember the grooving song from the Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Khatta Meetha’. Daler Mehndi's convivial song from the 2008 movie was again recreated for the 2021 Rohit Shetty hit- ‘Sooryavanshi’, and the euphonious vocals of Mehndi in the song still set the perfect party vibe.
12. Kudiyan Shahar Diya:
In 1999, Sunny Deol-Juhi Chawla starrer ‘Arjun Pandit’ tried to be unique in many ways. Haplessly it turned out to be a Bollywood disaster, however, Mehndi's ‘Kudiyan Shahar Diya’ turned out to be a musical milestone. Years later, the same song was recreated for the 2017 film,’ Poster Boys’. Although the movie bombed at the box office, the song once again surpassed the parameters of popularity.
13. O Nachdi Meri Jugni:
There can be nothing sweeter and more expressive than this 2022 trending hit. From the 2016 independent album, ‘Tunak Tunak Tumba’, this song is intoxicating to the core.
14. Kala Kauwa:
Kala Kauwa, this song cannot go off the list. From the 2002 non-film music album Nach Ni Sham Kaure, Kala Kauwa is a party hit.
15. Aao Ji:
Last but not least, welcome the year 2023 with this pacifying composition. This first-ever Rajasthani song by the Indi-pop star Daler Mehndi was a special gift to Rajasthan folk singer Mame Khan’s daughter on her wedding.
So, let's start the new year with our rocking step ahead, after all, your party list is ready.
