Top 30 Bollywood Songs of Kareena Kapoor

by Sandy · October 16, 2016

Kareena Kapoor Khan – the ruling diva of Bollywood. She has been mesmerizing her fans for the last 16 years since the rise of new millennium. Through countless roles she played onscreen during this period she has proved herself to be an ageless beauty. When actresses of 35+ move towards senior or serious roles, she is still entertaining audience through her dance moves. For her, age is just a number. No doubt, along with Hrithik Roshan, she is the best find of Bollywood in the new millennium. Though both the actors were supposed to debut Bollywood with a single movie, they entered the entertainment arena through different films though in the same year.

If you list the top Bollywood songs of past 15 years or so, definitely Kareena owns the lion share of most popular songs. They belong to different genres such as romantic, breakups and of course the most popular sizzling dance numbers. It’s not an easy task to list 10 or 20 best songs of Kareena Kapoor’s career. So, I tried to list 30 best songs and often included more than one song from a single movie. Also read – Top 5 performances of Kareena.

Also a very interesting fact to add, and a strange co-incidence too. Since Kareena’s debut film Refugee in 2000, Anu Malik composed songs of 5 Kareena movies in a row, and all her movies released in 2000 & 2001, except Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The other movies are Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, Yadein, Ajnabee and Asoka. In 2003 also, Anu Malik composed three of her films in a row – Khushi, Mein Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and LOC Kargil. He recorded maximum songs in Alka Yagnik’s voice, followed by Chithra and others.

Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal frequently did playback singing for her. During her first phase of Bollywood journey, Alka Yagnik’s voice was frequently used by music composers,apart from Chithra. Sunidhi recorded several sizzling tracks for Kapoor. Kareena’s voice was first used while recording the song Aaja Re Mahi of Fida. In my opinion, majority of her melodious tracks belong to the past decade (2000-2009), and demand for her item songs have went up with new decade. Music composers have experimented with different new voices for Kareena Kapoor. Have a check.

1. Bebo Mein Bebo and Kyun Phoolom Si from Kambakkht Ishq – Let me begin the list with ‘Bebo’ song as it’s her pet name. She sizzled aside Akshay Kumar for this dancing number and the voice was rendered by Alisha Chinai who is unbeaten for this genre of songs in Bollywood till now. My pick is the soft track – Kyun Phoolom Si rendered by Shaan & Shreya Ghoshal. Om Mangalam (and its reprised version) – is another popular track of the album.

2. You Are My Soniya from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum – It’s the best dance number pictured on Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. It’s for the first time they shared screen space for a Bollywood film. The song was sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. The movie also included the popular dance song – Bole Chudiyan with entire star cast.

3. Raat Na Nasha and Sun Suna Na from Asoka – Both the tracks are extremely melodious, and always counted among the best songs pictured on Kareena. But the movie was a box office failure. Raat Ka Nasha is one of the best Bollywood songs sung by south Indian Nightingale – Chithra. The song was so popular that later Anu Malik used Chithra’s voice for a series of songs for Kareena in Mein Prem Ki Diwani Hoon. The solo track – Sun Suna Na sung by Alka Yagnik too is equally popular, and definitely finds a position in my list. The movie also included the sizzling track – Chooke Bole Na Choo Na pictured on Shah Rukh and Kareena.

4. Shukra Allah of Kurbaan – A beautiful romantic song pictured on the real-life couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, it was sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. The song was beautifully composed by Salim-Sulaiman, and Salim Merchant also gave additional input to the vocals. Read the top 20 duets of Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal.

5. Gila Gila, Nazar Aa Raha Hai and Aankhen Band Karke from Aitraaz – All the songs composed by Himesh Reshammiya were extremely popular. Read more. Nazar Aa Raha Hai reminds us of sweet melodies of 1990s, mostly sung by Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu. But unfortunately the song was not included in the movie. Alka Yagnik and Sunidhi Chauhan’s voice were used for Kareena Kapoor in this movie.

6. Bhage Re Mann of Chameli – Sandesh Shandilya composed this beautiful rain song. The movie proved to the turning point of her career, and this solo track sung by Sunidhi Chauhan is one of the best rain songs pictured in Bollywood cinema. Read top 10 electrifying rain songs here.

She reprised the role played by Helen for the movie, and the iconic track sung by Asha Bhosle too was reused for the movie. Kalyanji Anandji composed the original song, written by Indeevar.

8. Teri Meri Meri Teri of Bodyguard– The top romantic song of the year 2011, the duet sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Rahet Fateh Ali Khan was the highlight of the movie. Though Himesh Reshammiya’s song was accused to be a copy of a Romanian song, it became extremely popular among music lovers. Definitely its Mukda was copied, but not its Antara. Shabbir Ahmed penned the lyrics.
