Holi brings color into our otherwise dull black-and-white life and is a symbol of happiness and joy. Holi is almost here, and we're sure your watchlist is eager to be filled with Holi-themed movies as well. From lighthearted and lively to profound and heartbreaking, these are a few Bollywood movies with the best Holi moments.
2 States
2 States is a pleasant and pleasant love story that best reflects the suffering of inter-caste weddings in our culture, with a fun Holi sequence in which Arjun and Alia get soaked in colours thrown in the mix.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
We don't think anyone can resist dancing to 'Balam Pichakri' from this film. It's the first time we see Naina just let loose and have fun, and it's a major turning moment in the plot. Even years after the film's debut, the song remains popular. Not to mention that the film is about friendship, jobs, and love, all of which are concerns that most of us face.
Raanjhaana
Dhanush's Bollywood debut was in Raanjhanaa. Raanjhanaa is a raw and pure love story featuring an iconic Holi sequence that not only unites two religions. Sonam puts colour on him at one point in the film, and everything about that scene is wonderful. In that point, Dhanush expresses his feelings of one-sided love.
Mohabbatein
This film captures the true spirit of Holi, a festival in which people forget their differences and begin new relationships. With upbeat and soothing Bollywood music and the iconic combination of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, it is a Holi classic.
Sholay
Sholay, Bollywood's most iconic film, featured some major drama as the day of Holi arrived in the film. When a fire reaches the top of a carousel and Gabbar descends towards Ramgarh, the narrative develops.
Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela
Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always been a master at depicting Indian festivities in his films. He created his own epic, 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela' which is a wonderful illustration of how good he is at it. The film is a modern rendition of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with an Indian spin. Aside from the film's amazing storyline and critical acclaim, one of the moments that stood out was the one when they had a Holi party.
