The Navratri festival is here and people all across India have geared up for the celebrations. The nine-day festival, commemorating triumph of good over evil begins on September 21 and ends on September 29, followed by Dussehra on September 30.
Navratri is celebrated all over the country albeit in different ways. However one of the most common ways of celebrating the festival, predominantly in the western states of Gujarat and Maharashtra, is in the form of Garba and dandiya.
Youngsters gather in groups dressed in traditional Gujarati attires (women in ghagras and men in kediyus or dhoti-kurta) and celebrate the festival, dancing to some foot-tapping numbers in utmost pomp and fervour.
After the festive season has kick-started, you’ll not get enough time to sort the Garba playlist. So here are some popular Bollywood Garba and Dandiya songs you can bookmark for your ease. Take a look here:

5. Radha Kaise Na Jale (Lagaan)
Though old, but still it is one of the most popular Garba songs of Bollywood. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, this song takes us back into our good old 2000’s. The wonderful folksy music is composed by A.R.Rahman and the lyrics are written by Javed Akhtar.
6. O Re Gori (Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage)
Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage was the second movie featuring the hit jodi of Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel. O Re Gori, beautifully sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, is a nine minute long song which is a perfect amalgamation of old traditional beats and contemporary energetic beats.
7. Shubhaarambh (Kai Po Che)
Sung by Shruti Pathak and Divya Kumar and composed by Amit Trivedi, Hey Shubharambh is the perfect folk song to dance to on Navratri. The folk music touch to it coupled with the drum beats and shehnai make this song the perfect Garba/dandiya number to dance on this season. This song should be a must-play track on your dandiya list.
8. Dola Dola (Bride And Prejudice)
Bride and Prejudice may not have been a Bollywood movie but this energetic dance number featuring our very own Aishwarya Rai Bachchan beg to differ. Every beat, music and dance step of the song spelled Bollywood and brought forth the festive spirit of India.
