3. Aaj na chodenge – Kati Patang (1970)
Singer: Kishore Kumar

The coquettish Rajesh Khanna and the modest, hesitant Asha Parekh from the religion film ‘Kati Patang’ add the oomph to the Holi festivities. The flamboyant Rajesh Khanna not only just spreads colors in this song, but also magic through his subtle dance movements. Combined with vivacious singing by Kishore Kumar, Aaj na chhodenge is the perfect song to set that flirtatious mood.

The newest entry in the rundown of Holi melodies, Balam Pichkari, works in view of its amazing rhythm and fun beats.
