Father's Day is nearing and we are pulling out all the stops to make it a memorable one for Dad! Since we are in party mode, we have to get the music right! Here are some songs you can dedicate to your dad on Father's Day and give your party a Bollywood twist.
There's one for every kind of dad and kid (almost), pick wisely.
"Haanikaarak Bapu"
Movie: Dangal (2016)
Singers: Sarwar Khan & Sartaz Khan Barna
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
"Haanikaarak Bapu" is a fun and cute track from Dangal. It is just the perfect song to dedicate to a strict father who is stern outside but a well-meaning and warm soul within.
"Papa Kehte Hain"
Movie: Qayamat se Qayamat Tak (1988)
Singer: Udit Narayan
Music: Anand Milind
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
"Papa Kehte Hain" is probably the first Bollywood song that comes to mind when we think of Hindi songs dedicated to dads. It is the story of almost every young, aspiring kid whose dad has great hopes in him/her.
"I Love You Daddy"
Movie: Akele Hum Akele Tum
Singers: Udit Narayan & Aditya Narayan
Lyrics : Majrooh Sultanpuri
Music : Anu Malik
This song is both sweet and sentimental at the same time. And it is probably the best song to dedicate to your dad if you want to convey your love to him.
"Papa Toh Band Bajaye"
Movie: Housefull 2
Singer: Neeraj Shridhar, Sachin Patil, Pinto
Lyrics: Sameer Aanjaan
Music: Sajid-Wajid
This is a peppy number and works best if you just want to shake a leg with your siblings and your dad.
"Papa Jaldi Aa Jana"
Movie: Taqdeer
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Sulakhshana Pandit, Meena Patki and Ila Desai
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
Music: Laxmikant Kudalkar and Pyarelal
A heartfelt, emotional number, this one is best if you want to give your Father's Day celebration a touch of nostalgia and create a retro feel.
Papa Mere Papa
Movie: Main Aisa Hi Hoon
Singers: Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and Baby Aparna
Lyrics: Sameer
Music: Himesh Reshammiya
A little melodramatic but cute and innocent, "Papa Mere Papa" is another good track to dedicate to dad on father's day.
Papa Jag Jayega
Movie: Housefull
Singers: Neeraj Shridhar, Ritu Pathak, ALYSSA MENDONCA
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Music Director: Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, Loy Mendonca
This track doesn't make much sense or conveys anything meaningful, but is a good one to just goof around and chill with Pappa.
O Mere Papa the Great
Movie: Papa - The Great
Singers: Udit Narayan, Aditya Narayan
Lyrics: Faiz Anwar, Maya Govind, Babu Singh Mann
Music: Nikhil, Vinay
If you are the dramatic kind of kid, "O Mere Papa the Great" is the best tribute to give dad this father's day. That's all we can say.
Dilbaro
Movie: Raazi
Singers: Harshdeep Kaur, Vibha Saraf & Shankar Mahadevan
Chorus: Ravi Mishra & Arshad Mohammed
Lyrics:Gulzar
Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Though a wedding song, this track is a genuine, meaningful tribute to Papa for all the wonderful things he has done for you. Also, the best song for daughters to dedicate to their dads.
Hope we have covered most of the Bollywood songs meant for dads. Go ahead, choose your pick and have a wonderful Father's Day celebration this time. :)
