Diwali 2022: 7 groovy songs that need to be on your Diwali playlist
Have you created your Diwali 2022 playlist yet? This year, treat your family and friends to some groovy beats that went viral in 2022 — an eclectic mix that’s sure to spruce up your Diwali party. From certified Bollywood dance-alongs to Indie earworms, these seven tracks deserve a special place on this year’s music list.
1. Kesariya by Arijit Singh
Kesariya blew up even before the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Bramhastra officially released in theatres in September. If you’re looking for something a little more upbeat, check out the Kesariya (Dance Mix) that you can shake a leg to.
2. Pasoori by Ali Sethi
Ali Sethi and Shae Gill’s explosive track hit all the right numbers when it debuted earlier this year as part of season 14 of Coke Studio Pakistan. It even featured on Ms Marvel, a popular series about Marvel’s first Muslim superhero.
3. Chand Baaliyan by Aditya A
Chand Baaliyan actually released in 2020, but rose to prominence in 2022 when it made its way to over 200 Instagram reels.
4. Summer High by AP Dhillon
AP Dhillon’s Summer High released in August and has amassed over 44 million views on Spotify (till now). If you liked Brown Munde and Ma Belle, you’ll definitely vibe with this track.
5. Rang Saari by Kavita Seth & Kanishk Seth
Instagram reels made Rang Saari so popular that it even made its way to the Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani starrer Jugjugg Jeeyo that released earlier this year. Pro tip: If you’re looking to turn your Diwali party into a dance party, try mimicking the choreography. Don’t break a leg though!
6. Doobey by OAFF, Savera, Lothika and Kausar Munir
One of the lighter parts of the Deepika Padukone-starrer Gehraiyaan, which released earlier this year, was the montage that accompanied this perky track.
7. Aaj Na by Ritviz
Ritviz’s new album Mimmi, which he’s dedicated to his mother, has a number of upbeat songs with immersive lyrics. If you’re spending Diwali with your mum, go ahead and play Aaj Na. Earn those (festive season) brownie points!
