It’s quite remarkable how music can make you nostalgic, correlate you with pleasant memories, and even influence your outlook on life. Bollywood, too, has generated some amazing songs that have helped me get through a difficult moment and have gotten me through life in general. Music has a magical quality that may help you heal from heartbreak, discover new meaning in life, and even give you the pep talk you need to confront life’s most difficult difficulties!
So, while the songs on our list have a strong personal value for us (they keep us going), they may also work for you. As ‘cheer me up’ tunes are ageless, it’s essentially a wonderful combination of old and modern. And wouldn’t it be incredible if you could share your own list of desi music that works for you and makes you smile on even the bleakest and terrible of days?
1)Jaane Kyun from Dostana
2)Prem Ki Naiyya from Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani:
Let’s be honest. With his lovely smile and the funky dancing routines in this song, Ranbir Kapoor can make even the worst of days look like fun. It just makes you want to get out of bed and start dancing.
3)Gazab Ka Hai Din from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak:
This has got to be the perfect antidote to a terrible day! It evokes so many emotions of your first crush…your first love… It’s really simply a pleasant tune… It’s all sunlight! And don’t you simply love Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla’s chemistry in this one? What a classic!
4)Jab Koyi Baat Bigad Jaaye from Jurm.
