What are rains without the quintessential wet heroine, foot tapping beats, high-on-adrenaline hero and strategically placed props? If you’re a die-hard fan of Bollywood, you’d know that rain songs are the most romantic element (often the turning point) of a movie. We list out some of the sexiest splash songs that you can groove to…take a look:

Tip Tip Barsa Paani (Mohra)

Nothing gives us goose bumps like this number where the ravishing Raveena Tandon in a flimsy yellow sari is seen setting our imagination on fire alongside a bare-chested Akshay Kumar. Of course it’s their then-real life romance that makes the song even more sizzling that it is. Set it on loop and watch fireworks on the big screen.

Gale Lag Ja (De Dana Dan)

How does Akshay get to romance all the smoking hot ladies? What’s your secret, mister? In this titillating number, a rain-soaked Katrina Kaif in an array of colorful chiffon saris is seducing Akshay Kumar. Their dynamite of a Jodi lights up the screen, while the pulsating number leaves you in the mood for some dirty fun.

Aaj Rapat Jaayen

Who says that Smita Patil was not a commercial actress? She does the rain routine much better than her contemporaries as she sways across the road with an equally drenched Amitabh Bachchan at her side. The two make the romping and gyrating so classy that we are inclined to go rolling on the roads just like them.

Pyaar Hua Iqraar Hua

Perhaps one of the most romantic songs in Bollywood, this soothing number has the legendary Raj Kapoor with his alleged lady love Nargis under an umbrella with the rains splattering on. What a beautiful scene! We wish we had that ONE person we could sing this song with, no?

Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi

Kishore Kumar puts the F in fun in this frothy rain number. As he describes the gorgeous Madhubala, we are tempted to reach across the screen and join the two in their quirky banter!

Rimjhim Gire Saawan

The first showers bring out the poet in us, and what better than this Moushmi Chatterjee and Big B number that’s peppered with beautiful lyrics to set the tone, eh? Listen to it with your feet up, your hair down and a blazing cuppa in hand. Bliss!

Barso Re Megha

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan spins magic as she dances away to glory in this groovy song. Her elegant moves, coupled with Shreya Ghoshal’s sugary voice and a breath taking background make this an ideal monsoon listen.

Yeh Saazish Hai Boondon Ki

The lead pair, Kajol and Aamir Khan, might look awkward doing the intimate scenes but the gentle number transports us to a land farther away, where only you and your loved one are around. With rains spluttering on the two of you, all you can think of is this soulful song with meaningful words.

Chak Doom Doom

The song has a deliriously happy Madhuri Dixit welcoming the rains, while an equally excited SRK is looking for a girl who’s as stunning as the falling droplets. The premise might sound cheesy, but the song is not!
