The Mehendi ceremony is one of the most awaited events of the whole wedding biz. It's the bride has her hands done up with the most exquisite henna patterns ever. Now when you put it like that, it seems like a very dull, lifeless affair. But anyone who's even attended someone's Mehendi ceremony knows that this is hardly how it is. The Mehendi is a fun-filled party where the bridal entourage sings, dances and has loads of fun. These days, virtually no such function happens without a DJ and blaring tunes to set the mood right. If you too want your Mehendi to be a blast, play these 5 songs - they're perfect for the occasion and will have everyone all cheered up.
1. Mehendi Hai Rachne Wali - This is a Mehendi ceremony classic from a barely-watched movie, Zubaida. While Alka Yagnik commemorates this aspect of wedding prep in a sweet, sweet voice, the bridal party usually gets all mushy and teary-eyed when this plays. This is the perfect song for the traditional bride.
2. Gulabo - This one, you play, when you want everyone on the dance floor. The funky, modish bride-to-be is always seen shaking a leg to this number. And why not?! It's her day! Let her spread some rangg and jalwa. Pro tip - play this before the actual henna-application begins. Or it will get smudged with all the dancing.
3. Sadi Galli - A favourite wedding melody, Saddi Galli will have all the punjabi kudidancing like never before. It's a peppy song that has all people - young, old and in-between - requesting encores. The carefree bride will have this playing again and again.
4. Mera Laung Gawacha - This punjabi number is a soulful love song that usually does well as a filler. After a racy tune like Sadi Galli, give people a chance to rest. Let them enjoy the gentle, soothing song as they catch their breath. The emotional bride may even shed a tear or two - this song has that sombre quality to it.
5. Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai - Play this somewhere halfway through the party and watch it come alive again. This awesome party track gets people wild with energy and excitement. Girls who love to let their hair down and dance like no one watching will surely have this playing on their Mehendi. A brilliant melody to keep the party going!
Add these amazing mehndi party songs to your playlist and groove to these tunes at your colorful function.
