5 Deepavali Songs to Channel Your Inner Kollywood-Bollywood Star (You will LOVE #2!)

Deepavali or Diwali is arguably the most celebrated Indian festival all over the world. The festival of lights is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains for different reasons but rooted its meaning in the victory of light over darkness, or goodness winning triumphing evil. 

You will find millions of Indians celebrating the light festival with a fireworks display, prayers and a dinner feast including the traditional Indian sweets. Among other things to watch out for during this festival is the coming out of our favourite Bollywood and Kollywood films in cinemas. Every one of these films comes with a wonderful soundtrack, and we bring you our top picks this Deepavali. They're guaranteed to amp up the festivities and get you in a mood to party! So, how are you going to celebrate Deepavali this year? Take it up a notch this year and sing all these fantastic recommendations, which are available on Popsical!

We give you the top 5 Deepavali songs to channel your inner Kollywood/ Bollywood superstar this Deepavali:

1) Shake yo body

Let's start the list with an upbeat number - shake yo body! This Kangana 3 hit - was released just earlier this year, and is something that is guaranteed to get you moving and jiving to the beat. Turn up the Deepaval festivities with this dance number, and get everyone in the room to do the trademark 'shake yo body' moves together with you - as you sing to the original music video (also already available in Popsical!)

2) OMG Ponnu

From the highest grossing Kollywood film of 2018, Sarkar which was coincidentally also released last Deepavali, this song will hit so many right notes if you sing it well. Imagine being at a friend or relative's house - and you eye this lovely girl whom you're interested in but don't quite know how to make the right moves? Well, sing it through a song! OMG Ponnu ¬ she'll get the message! ;) (Sing first, thank us later.)

3) Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jana Sanam

Now, this is a classic you can't go wrong with. An instant hit that's popular with all age groups, this Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) hit is one of those classics featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, everyone's favourite on-screen Bollywood couple. Pro-tips: When you sing this with Popsical, you get to sing to the original music video entertaining everyone to a visual treat and a walk down memory lane too!  

4) Dil Chori

How about one of the popular Honey Singh dance hits? This one's guaranteed to amp up your deepavali party like no other and is probably best sung when everyone's high on festivities!
