The Balam Pichkari song from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is almost a cult and Deepika Padukone feels it's like Rang Barse. This song also comes at a very crucial point in the film, it's the song that shows the transformation of Naina (Deepika) from a demure to a dazzle. The bold and beautiful avatar of this nerd was hidden till now, and it all explodes as the track begins. More than the thunderous beats of this pulsating track, Balam Pichkari is all about letting all your inhibitions and insecurities go away.
Sharing her thoughts on the same, Deepika shares, "If I may say, Balam Pichkari is like Rang Barse (Silsila; 1981) of our generation. Nowadays, every Holi party starts with Rang Barse, and the second song has to be Balam Pichkari. So, it's become a new-age Holi anthem. It feels nice to have been part of such an iconic song."
