Wedding season is officially back in full swing, bringing with it the sound of dhol beats, endless chai-fueled planning sessions, and at least one relative asking when it’s your turn next. To celebrate, we’re kicking off our Big Fat Wedding series, taking a closer look at the food, fashion, budgets, and mini family dramas that make every desi wedding both exhausting and unforgettable.
And where better to start than the mehndi? Every wedding playlist needs a mix of soul, nostalgia and dance-floor energy. Whether you’re planning the event or just showing up to hide in the background, this one will keep the night moving. And don’t worry, it’s not the same three overplayed songs you have been hearing since 2014.
Our Big Fat Mehndi Playlist
1. Dil Dooba
A feel-good classic that instantly sets the tone. It’s upbeat, familiar, and impossible not to move to.
2. Challawa
Bright and breezy, this one captures that early mehndi excitement when everyone’s still easing into the night.
3. Chor Do Aanchal (Zamana Kya Kahega) Remix
A charming old-school pick that brings just the right amount of retro flair. Parents love it, and it still fits perfectly between modern tracks.
4. Desi Thumka
Pure fun. This is when the real dancing starts and everyone forgets about choreography.
5. Tennu Le
Playful and dramatic, this is ideal for the groom’s side to make their big moment.
6. Tum Se Milke x Drake Remix
An unexpected but oddly satisfying mashup that bridges two worlds in the most entertaining way.
7. Kaanta Laga - DJ Chetas Remix
No wedding playlist is complete without one chaotic remix. This one keeps the energy high and the crowd loud.
8. Nachan Mein Odey Nall
The beat that turns the function into a full-on concert. It’s the point of the night where the uncles step into the dance floor.
9. Promiscuous Girl x In Ankhon Ki Masti
Playful, stylish, and somehow it works. A crowd favourite for the confident dancers.
10. Chura Ke Dil Mera (Goriyan Chali)
A nostalgic closer, especially for the boys’ performance. It’s fun, cheeky, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
