On the roof, in the rain?
They say, Hindi movies are all about the rains, all about the heroine (in a skimpy sari of course), and the hero prancing about in the rain. Well there is more to Hindi Movies. Ah well, there is more to the rains in Hindi movies, really. So here's my list. The 10 best Hindi songs picturized in the rain.
10. O Sajana, Barkha Bahaar Aayi - Parakh. This is, as per Lata Mangeshkar, her best performance. I like the bengali version more.
9. Rim Jhim Rum Jhum - 1942 A Love Story. RDB's last stand. And what a last stand...
8. Pyaar Hua, Iqraar Hua Hai - Shri 420. The quintessential rain song. How can one have a list of rain songs and exclude this?
7. Tip Tip Barsa Paani - Mohra. Yes! Ah, c'mon, don't be a highbrow now....
6. Sawan Barse, Tarse Dil - Dahek. One song that even apparent Uber-Male I will call Sweet!
5. Aaj Mera Jee Karda (Kaawa Kaawa) - Monsoon Wedding. Sukhwinder at his best. Delhi in the rain. In all its beauty. Isn't it surprising how you will definitely hate Delhi if you have been there for 3 months, and love Delhi if you have been there for 2 years?
4. Rimjhim Gire Sawan - Manzil. The Lata Mangeshkar Version. What Cinematography!
3. Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si - Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. In terms of overall impact, none match up with this.
2. Chhoti Si Kahaani Se, Barisho Ke Paani Se - Ijaazat. Any song from Ijaazat qualifies. And the cinematography was so brilliant, remember? The waterfall, the greens.... and a brimful of Asha. By the way, was there any rain?
1. Lagi Aaj Sawan Ki - Chandni. Absolute Pathos. Absolute brilliance.

Hey,
How can you ignore....
"Roop tera mastana..pyaar mera deewana" from "Aradhana" (well, maybe not technically a rain song, but a post-rain song can qualify right?)
"Aaj rapat jaaye to humein na uthaiyo" from "Namak Halal"
"Bole re papeehara" from "Guddi"
Aaj Rapat I seriously considered, but Tip tip was better, IMHO.
Roop tera mastana I did not consider, honestly, and
Bole re papeehara I totally forgot. but I still will keep my list....
hi
thank you for sharing.
and then there is 'megha re, megha re' and 'megha chaye aadhi raat'....
