Makar
Sankranti
isn’t
just
a
festival-it’s
a
feeling.
Crisp
winter
skies,
rooftops
full
of
laughter,
colorful
kites
dancing
in
the
wind,
and
music
that
captures
the
joy
of
freedom
and
celebration.
Bollywood
has
beautifully
bottled
this
spirit
over
the
years.
Here’s
a
curated
list
of
iconic
film
songs
that
perfectly
complement
the
festive
energy
of
Makar
Sankranti.
“Dheel
De
De
Re
Bhaiya”
–
Hum
Dil
De
Chuke
Sanam
(1999)
A
classic
that
screams
nostalgia.
With
playful
lyrics
and
traditional
folk
energy,
this
song
perfectly
mirrors
the
chaos
and
excitement
of
families
shouting
instructions
from
rooftops.
Pure
old-school
Sankranti
magic.
“Manjha”
–
Kai
Po
Che!
(2013)
Raw,
emotional,
and
deeply
rooted
in
the
culture
of
Ahmedabad,
Manjha
goes
beyond
celebration.
It
reflects
friendship,
ambition,
and
heartbreak-much
like
the
unpredictable
flight
of
a
kite
itself.
A
must-have
for
anyone
who
connects
Sankranti
with
deeper
emotions.
“Ambarsariya”
–
Fukrey
(2013)
While
not
directly
about
kite-flying,
Ambarsariya
brings
the
laid-back,
fun-loving
Punjabi
flavor
that
fits
perfectly
into
festive
playlists.
It
adds
a
youthful,
carefree
mood
to
Sankranti
gatherings,
especially
for
rooftop
after-parties.
“Rut
Aa
Gayi
Re”
–
1947
Earth
(1998)
Soft,
melodic,
and
culturally
rich,
this
song
celebrates
changing
seasons
and
new
beginnings.
Its
understated
joy
aligns
beautifully
with
the
essence
of
Makar
Sankranti-marking
the
transition
of
the
sun
and
the
promise
of
brighter
days.
“Udi
Udi
Jaye”
–
Raees
(2017)
A
modern
festival
anthem
that
instantly
became
synonymous
with
kite-flying
celebrations.
Set
against
the
vibrant
backdrop
of
Gujarat,
this
song
captures
the
thrill
of
friendly
rivalry,
romance,
and
the
pure
joy
of
watching
kites
soar.
Shah
Rukh
Khan’s
effortless
charm
makes
it
a
Sankranti
staple.
Patakha
Guddi
–
Highway
(2014)
Fearless,
free-spirited,
and
deeply
uplifting,
Patakha
Guddi
embodies
the
soul
of
Sankranti.
It’s
not
just
about
flying
kites
–
it’s
about
breaking
free,
embracing
change,
and
letting
your
inner
fire
soar
high.
Makar
Sankranti
is
more
than
a
festival
–
it’s
a
feeling
of
elevation,
of
leaving
behind
what
weighs
us
down
and
embracing
what
lifts
us
up.
Just
like
kites
dancing
freely
in
the
winter
sky,
these
Bollywood
songs
capture
moments
of
joy,
resilience,
nostalgia,
and
renewal.
Rooted
in
folk
traditions
yet
timeless
in
emotion,
they
remind
us
that
every
new
season
brings
a
chance
to
rise
higher,
cut
loose
from
the
past,
and
celebrate
life
in
all
its
vibrant
colours.
This
Sankranti,
turn
up
the
music,
look
up
at
the
sky,
and
let
your
spirit
soar.
