Happy Shahrukh Month! After “favorite movie” yesterday, I’m moving on to “favorite songs” today.
Again, I have an easy answer. My easy answer is “Preity Woman”. It just makes me happy!
But more complex answer would be, “Radha” as the most complex song performance.
“Chaiyya Chaiyya” as the best overall song video
And “Dard E Disco” as the easy entry point fun song

My top three, order depending on mood, would be:
and Chaiyya Chaiyya
Haule Haule is my favorite for portraying a character through song. Raula I love the interplay between him and Anushka (that wallet bit!), and it just always makes me happy. Chaiyya Chaiyya is just amazing art.

I forgot about Raula! I still put Radha above it, but it’s pretty close. They are so cute!!!!

Can we include hawaayein here? Shahrukh literally took my breath away with that, first time I wanted to be at place of a heroine.

#1 Yeh Ladka Hai Allah (best one with Kajol in it as well)
#2 Chaiyya Chaiyya (The item girl is just an item girl, but the moving steam train dance makes up for it)
#3 Okay this one changes but at this second it is Tanha Hua, I love the full story complete with emotional development within the song.

You can dislike the movie, but is the song really that bad? Of course there isn’t any dancing. Or is the visual jarringness of SRK as a dwarf? I admit that is problematic.

The whole movie disturbs me, and that song in particular I just find too odd to be able to relax and enjoy it.
Also, you are making me remember that we were thinking about a Zero watch for the Haters and the Lovers to battle it out.

I wouldn’t call myself a lover, but I’m not a hater. But the more I think about it, the Yes Boss song should really be on my list.

I think your Preity Woman song is odd! Which is why I kinda dislike it. But the musical oddness of fast/slow sad/happy in Tanha Hua I like. Everyone has their own sort of odd!

I have a lot of issues with the actual film (like dude, don’t be a stalker especially if you’re stalking a terrorist) but “Dil Se” has three of the most amazing SRK dances for me. Chaiyya Chaiyya, Satrangi Re, and of course, Jiya Jale because everyone is wet and there are elephants!

Songs themselves would be too many, so I’m going on songs and videos, based on the way my iTunes is organized.
Mere Naam Tu: Controversial since Zero was awful. But the song is gorgeous and the video matched perfectly. Literally the only good things about the movie.
Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main: I mostly love this because of Kajol. But this is the happiest video.
Butterfly: I wasn’t a huge fan of JHMS but this as the ending of the movie elevated it. Such a fun song, and so many great moments. When Anushka jumps up on the ladder. Her red outfits. The end where he kisses her on the forehead gets me emotional every time.
Chaiyya Chaiyya: Obviously
Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari: THE COLORS!!!!
1234 Get on the Dance Floor: My nostalgia song
