Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Lollipop Lagelu’ dance at sister’s sangeet to Hrithik Roshan grooving on 'Super 30' sets: Bollywood is obsessed with THESE VIRAL Bhojpuri songs

Bhojpuri music holds tremendous power, with viral songs often turning films into superhits even when the storyline takes a backseat. Tracks like 'Lollipop Lagelu' by Pawan Singh exploded through YouTube-first releases, racking up hundreds of millions of views and becoming wedding anthems nationwide.

Weddings set their status as must-play numbers, while seasonal Chhath songs like 'Chhath Ghate Chali' fused devotion with virality.

‘Lollipop Lagelu’

Pawan Singh's 2015 track from the album ‘Lollypop Lagelu’ amassed over a million YouTube views, turning it into a blockbuster independent of any major film plot.

Social media reels amplified its reach beyond Bihar to national wedding playlists. Hrithik Roshan and Kartik Aaryan have both embraced the infectious energy of Pawan’s song. In 2019, before the release of 'Super 30's, Roshan had shared a fun video dancing to ‘Lollipop Lagelu’ with the cast during downtime on set.

Recently, Aaryan lit up his sister Kritika Tiwari's sangeet ceremony in Gwalior with a high-energy performance to the song.

Cross-state popularity stemmed from its energetic folk fusion, perfect for weddings and parties.
