Aap Jaisa Koi – “Mila Tujhe”
Tender, slow, and emotionally rich, Mila Tujhe captures the ache of late bloomers in love, of holding back and leaning in at the same time. It starts like a drizzle, builds into a downpour, and lingers like wet footprints on a wooden floor. The song mirrors Shrirenu and Madhu’s evolving bond and feels like the kind of melody that makes sense when it’s raining outside.
Jab We Met – “Tum Se Hi”
A timeless monsoon melody, this track is all about longing in silence, with Imtiaz Ali’s rainy-night visuals matching every breath of yearning. This song is rooted in Aditya’s emotional transformation , from detachment to falling deeply for Geet. It’s for when you miss someone you’re not supposed to, and the weather gives you permission.

Wake Up Sid – “Iktara”
As Sid learns to take responsibility and Aisha finds comfort in solitude, Iktara is an ode to slow transformations and love that grows quietly in the background. With its mellow tune and poetic lyrics, it feels like a light drizzle turning into the first real rain of the season. The song pairs beautifully with overcast skies, as you sit by the window and rethink your life (or your crush).
Aashiqui 2 – “Tum Hi Ho”
The film is built on intense, all-consuming love that comes with as much pain as passion. Tum Hi Ho is the emotional centrepiece- haunting and intense. The kind of song you want playing when the sky splits open and so does your chest.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – “Kabira (Encore)”
This song plays when Bunny realises what and who he’s left behind. It’s tied to that moment in life when you’ve lived fast and now have to look back. The monsoon connection is clear: it’s reflective, bittersweet, and about coming home to feelings you thought you’d outgrown
Aap Jaisa Koi – “Jab Tu Sajan”
A soft, soulful ballad that unfolds like an old love letter, Jab Tu Sajan carries the weight of longing, love, and emotional restraint. With its mellow rhythm and nostalgic tune, it’s the kind of track that plays in your head when you’re staring out at the rain, thinking of the one that tugs the hardest on your heart strings. It perfectly underscores the film’s themes of reconciliation and quiet yearning.
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na – “Kahin To”
The friendship-to-love journey in this film builds to a quiet heartbreak before resolution, and Kahin To hits that pause , the moment before you admit the truth.Perfect for the kind of rain that makes you text your college ex and immediately regret it.
Vicky Donor – “Paani Da Rang”
While the film is a quirky dramedy, this song shows the emotional aftermath of a love that’s hit a wall. It’s raw emotion set to a folksy, minimal beat , the rain version of tearing up silently while pretending you’re fine. Best paired with chai, pakoras, and emotional damage.
Mismatched – “Ishq Hai”
A young lovers’ anthem that burst into the hearts of Gen Z. Soft, atmospheric, and surprisingly deep, Ishq Hai captures the vulnerability of young, uncertain love. As Dimple and Rishi navigate misunderstandings and unspoken feelings, this track becomes the emotional heartbeat of the show. With its qawwali-tinged melody and poetic lyrics, “Ishq Hai” became a cultural moment—perfect for monsoon playlists and first-love memories.
Dil Dhadakne Do – “Pehli Baar”
A celebration of spontaneity and connection, this song underlines Ayesha and Sunny’s chemistry in the film. This one’s electric, the rush of new feelings and bad decisions. Feels like dancing in puddles without checking who’s watching, or caring who gets wet.
Guru – “Barso Re Megha”
This song is as iconic as its visuals – Sujata’s joy and liberation echoing through a monsoon storm. An all-out celebration of rain and freedom, this one has you spinning in joy before you even realise it. It’s a reminder that sometimes the monsoon doesn’t bring closure, it brings catharsis.
Press play. Feel it all. Watch Aap Jaisa Koi, now streaming on Netflix.
