Bollywood and music have always been entangled with each other, just like two lovers who thrive together. 2022 had several releases and so, without a doubt, there were also some remarkable songs. From romantic melodies like Kesariya from Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's Bhrahmastra to energetic dance numbers like Thumkeshwari from Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon's Bhediya, this year, we had it all. Speaking of which, as the year slowly comes to an end, let us look at the best Hindi songs of 2022. 

25 best Bollywood songs of 2022

Kesariya - Brahmastra

Even before we saw the much-awaited trailer of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra, we were hooked on the two lines of Kesariya that the makers released. Later, as the full song crooned by the brilliant Arijit Singh came out, it was an instant chartbuster.


Rasiya Reprise – Brahmastra

The second spot on our list also goes to a song from Brahmastra. Although the full song was released quite later, people loved Pritam’s melodious composition.


Gehraiyaan (Title Track)

The entire album of Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Dhairya Karwa starrer Gehraiyaan is a mood changer! The title track by Lothika, OAFF, Ankur Tewari, and Savera, is an absolute banger.

The Punjaabban Song from JugJugg Jeeyo took Instagram by storm! From fan-made reels to celebrities joining on in the bandwagon to do the Nach Punjaabban step, we saw it all.


Yeh Ek Zindagi – Monica, O My Darling

Released just a few weeks back, Rajkummar Rao, Huma Qureshi, and Radhika Apte’s thriller Monica, O My Darling had most elements that make a hit film from the ‘70s. Speaking of which, the music, especially Yeh Ek Zindagi was a gift we all needed and embraced wholeheartedly.


Meri Jaan - Gangubai Kathiawadi 

Composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and crooned by Neeti Mohan, Gangubai Kathiawadi's Meri Jaan is at once naughty, groovy, and passionate yet with a hint of innocence. Alia Bhatt and Shantanu Maheshwari's flirting in the song lit up the screens. 


Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Title Track

Kartik Aaryan's swag and dance moves, along with Tanishk Bagchi's recreation of the original 2007 song starring Akshay Kumar, did full justice to the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 title track.
