World Music Day 2025 is here! Every year, World Music Day is celebrated on June 21. It also coincides with World Yoga Day. This year, it falls on a weekend. And what better way to celebrate a day of music than with a good old-fashioned game of Antakshari? Whether you’re at a family gathering, a long road trip, or a house party, Bollywood music always brings people together. But a lot of times, we get stuck on the same old songs. No matter how many movies you’ve watched, no matter how many songs you know, there are certain songs you always sing in an Antakshari. For example, a good majority begins their Antakshari game by singing “Maiyya Yashodha” from Hum Saath Saath Hain. But now, you don’t have to be one of those people. I’ve got you a personally curated list of 50 best Bollywood songs from some of the top Bollywood movies that are perfect for Antakshari.
50 Best Bollywood Songs That You Can Sing on Your Next Antakshari Night
Let’s start with some Antakshari starters, and then we’ll move on to different songs starting from various letters. So, as you all know, we start Antakshari by saying, “Baithe baithe kya kare, karna hai kuch kaam, shuru karo Antakshari leke prabhu ka naam”. So, ideally, the first song has to start from M. So now, let me start by sharing songs that start with M. Then, as the list goes on, I’ll be sharing songs that start with J, songs that start with K, songs that start with F, and so on.
