When the husband received his posting order a couple of months ago, we decided to hit the road this time than opting for rail or air. Yes, why fly when you can instead take control of the wheel and explore the world at your own pace? The very first thought that popped into my head was to have a dedicated playlist list this time and not to be content with whatever played to be on the radio or his CD collection.
That said, whether you decide to hit the hills, go backpacking, or simply head for a long drive with your loved one, music is a must! We believe, no road trip is complete without having some great music to set the mood in and keep the car rolling! Here are few of our top favorite Bollywood Songs for a Road Trip.
Best Bollywood Songs for Your Road Trip
1. Illahi – Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani
Let’s start with a no-brainer! Get. Set. Go.
2. Khwabon Ke Parindey – Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
It’s time to roll down the windows, get your hair flowing in the wind and feel the breeze.
3. Yunhi Chala – Swades
The music is just perfect for road trips!
4. Dil Chahta Hai – Dil Chahta Hai
Your road trip is incomplete without listening to this classic!

12. Mercy On Me – Badshah Feat. Lauren Gottlieb

I love songs, and this list has some of my favorites. Yun hi chala chal rahi, and Khwabon ke parindey are lovely choices for sure. 🙂
Thanks, V 🙂
ALL my favorites are here. Good music can help cover some serious distance in no time!!
Thanks, Shilpa 🙂
Also, the ‘journey song’ from Piku, if I may add. 🙂
Oh yes! That’s a great choice! Thank you, Aritra 🙂
Lovely list. I love tum hi ho Bandhu awesome betas and dil chahata hai !!!
Yay! Thanks, Z 🙂
I love each song on that list specially the ones from ZNMD and of course that one from SRK’s best film ever. I’d add two more Ranbir songs Kabira and Iktara.
Oh, I absolutely love those two! Didn’t include because they were more of a sad melody 🙂
The DCH, Cocktail and Highway songs are the favorites. Songs makes roadtrip more fun 🙂
I’m afraid I can’t identify most of them save Dil Chata Hai but I’m sure it’s a great list. Music does make the trip go well especially if you can sing along . I love peppy music that keeps me awake when I travel.
now those are some really peppy numbers 😀 I already feel like going on a trip now, just to play this list 😀
Great choice 😀
This is quite a nice travel songs list. Going to save it for my next road trip
excellent list… don’t have quite a few of the new ones… time to add to the list. My list would add some of the 90s oldies – Tumse Milne Ki Tammana Hai (Saajan) types 🙂
Lovely songs.
There are so many Bollywood songs about ‘safar’.
Yuhi kat jayega safar saath chalne se- Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke
Hum jo chalne lagey chalney lagey hain raaste- Jab We Met
…need to write a post 🙂
Indeed a very good choice of songs Shalini 🙂
I love Znmd and sch. When ìn doubt, I listen to Atif aslam.
That’s a fabulous playlist, Shalini. I do enjoy listening to entire albums as well like Barfi, YJHD, ZNMD etc. which have fabulous songs in the entire album.
All the songs are lovely. Pathaka Guddi & Maahiway are my go-to ringtones still to-date.
That’s a great list and a lot on my road trip list too 🙂
Hey, we do have some similar tastes! I shared a post on my favourite peppy numbers today and a few of these exist in my list, too! Lovely tunes, Shalini!
Such a happy, peppy list this is 🙂
I loved Khwabon Ke Parindey so much that I listened to it non stop for more than a month or so when it came out 🙂
Awesome list this is Shalini. You have picked up some perfect songs for the road trip… The best one for me among the lot is Matargashti from Tamasha… love this song 🙂
In the songs you have listed out “Patakha Guddi” is my absolute favorite. I can listen to it in a loop!
ooooo what a lovely list. And we could a more and more to it. But driving down must have been fun and n interesting playlist could sure pep up the mood too
I am going home for my annual vacation… This list will come handy 😀
i super bad at recalling songs especially when you have put then in a drive. This list comes handy
thank you
Just looking for such kind of a list and got you. Nice post. Your list will help me for next 350 Kms. Thanks for sharing.
Woah, I love almost all the songs listed here. You’ve got a good taste of music, Shalini 🙂 ZNMD songs are like forever favorite esp. when on road. BTW Happy B’day, masterchef! Go on a long drive and enjoy the day to the fullest. 🙂
