My favourite Holi song is Do me a
favour let's play Holi because it is my very good friend, Anu
Malik's song. It's so irreverent and cool. As for my own memories of the
festival, it used to be scary back at home in Delhi. Women walked around
with fear of being assaulted with paints, gobar and
eggs. My brothers and sisters were always very protective of me. All I had
to do was cry and my jiju would go and sock them. My sister
was tough, her face was enough to scare everyone away.
Naman ShawMy favourite Holi song is Rang
barse; it captures the spirit of the festival perfectly. And I
have played the dirtiest Holi in Kolkata. Colours, eggs or
rotten tomatoes - we used anything that our hand could grab. There used to be
competition between two buildings in our area on who could get more nasty. If
by chance, we got hold of a guy from the other building, we would tear his
clothes and send him back with only colours all over his body.
Amit Sarin - Aayi aayi re Holi aayi, rang barse re
neeley gagan se is my favourite Holi song. It is also my
most memorable song as it was picturised on Isha Kopikkar and me. The song was
shot in four nights, using artificial rain. It was like playing Holi for four
nights with a lot dance, masti and rain.
Salil AcharyaRang barse is my all-time
favourite Holi song, especially the version remixed by Akbar Sami.
Besides, the colours and songs, I love the sweets made on that day. Besides, I
always feel it's a day for who ever I have troubled to take revenge on me.
Lol.
Arjit Taneja- I love the
Balam pichkari song. I
believe that it's the Holi song of our generation, and I also loads
of memories associated with it.

Holi for me is synonymous with the Rang
barse song from Silsila. This is one song that
will make your feet move and dance to it. It is a perfect Holisong. My
memories of Holi goes back to the day when I played Holi as
a kid. We use to dig a huge hole in our building garden, fill it with
water and mud and throw everyone in that dirty water. It was fun then, but when
I think of it now, it was quite bad.
Sudeepa Singh- Rang barse sung and picturised
on Amitabh Bachchan will always be my all time
favourite Holi song. A lot of memories are attached to this song as
it is one of the most played songs on Holi. I
miss the celebrations in my hometown, when I used to
play Holi with my cousins and colony friends. Nothing better than
playing Holi with your close ones.

One of all-time
favourite Holi song is Holi khele Raghuveera from
the film Baghban. It's full of masti,excitement
and joyous mood. My most memorable Holi celebrations have taken
place in in my hometown, where I played Holi with my friends. We used
to play with colours,mud and water. I used to enjoy eating sweets.

I like Balam pichkari song;
it's a nice peppy number. Around ten years ago, I attended the Times of
India (TOI) Holi party in Delhi with my childhood friends. I
had bhaang for the first time there, and that too 12
glasses of it. I kept having it as I felt it was not working on me. But when it
did hit me finally, all I was worried about was reaching home properly.

My favourite Holi song is Balam
pichkari. As for an unforgettable Holi, I have very
fond memories of playing it in my neighborhood as a kid.
