New Delhi: The world of Instagram has become a treasure trove for old gems; from songs, old movie clips, viral interviews to many more such things. Latest trends on the social media platform have played a pivotal role in not just engaging the audience, but also introducing them, especially Gen-Z to old songs and reviving popular tracks that went into oblivion over a period of time.
Recently, the sensuous track 'San Sana Na Nan' from Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer 'Asoka' has become popular once again with numerous transition reels being made on the song, both by content creators and as parody. While on the other hand, Pakistani singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who is being trolled for his latest cringe song 'Baddo Baddi', has brought to notice the original version of the song sung by legendary singer Noor Jehan for the 1962 film 'Banarsi Thug'.
While many of you must be wanting to listen to the entire song after being hooked on to the viral lines, we have curated a list of 7 most popular tracks that Instagram reels have revived. Take a look:
San Sana Na Nan
The hit track from Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer Asoka is sung by Alka Yagnik and Hema Sardesai. Although the song was a chartbuster when it was released, it has regained popularity with the viral transition reels made on it by social media users. Anu Malik's composition seamlessly blends traditional Indian music with contemporary pop elements, resulting in a distinctive and infectious melody.
Bado Badi
Are you cringing after listening to the viral song Baddo Baddi by Chahat Fateh Ali Khan? Well, you needn't do that anymore because we have found the original track sung by none other than the legendary singer Noor Jehan. The peppy track is from the 1962 film 'Banarsi Thug.'
Rukhi Sukhi Roti
Tauba O Tauba tu kya bola, dhadak dhadak mera dil dola! Hooked on to these lines? Well, the complete song is equally catchy. For those who have discovered the song through Instagram reels, the song is from Anil Kapoor's blockbuster film 'Nayak' starring Rani Mukerji.

"Dhadkanon me tere geet hain mile hue, Kya kahun ki sharm se hain lab sile hue"
are from Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's one of the most iconic films 'Silsila.' The melodious song crafted by legendary duo Shiv-Hari with lyrics written by Javed Akhtar is one of the most romantic numbers that Bollywood could offer.
Lag Ja Gale
