The infectious beats of the Bhojpuri chartbuster 'Lollipop Lagelu' have proven to be unstoppable. What began as a regional music sensation has now firmly entrenched itself in the mainstream, becoming a must-play track at celebrations across the country, especially within Bollywood's glittering circles. The song's journey from YouTube to the heart of India's wedding and film culture is a testament to its universal, dance-floor-filling appeal.
Bollywood's Favorite Wedding Anthem
The song's latest high-profile appearance was at the vibrant sangeet ceremony of actress Kriti Sanon's sister, Nupur Sanon, and singer Stebin Ben. A video from the night, featuring Kriti Sanon and actor Varun Sharma energetically dancing to 'Lollipop Lagelu', quickly went viral on social media. The clip added a burst of fun and relatability to the wedding festivities, showing how the track has become a go-to for setting a joyous mood.
This was not an isolated incident. The song has a history of lighting up celebrity weddings. A few years prior, Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan was seen grooving to the same track at his sister Kritika Tiwari's sangeet in Gwalior. The video captured the entire family and guests enjoying themselves unreservedly, highlighting the song's power to unite people in celebration.
Beyond the Red Carpet: Viral Moments on Film Sets
The influence of 'Lollipop Lagelu' extends beyond private parties to the professional sets of Bollywood. In a memorable behind-the-scenes moment from 2019, superstar Hrithik Roshan shared a casual, fun-filled video from the sets of his film 'Super 30'. In the dimly lit clip, Roshan is seen casually dancing and vibing to the Bhojpuri hit, showcasing its reach even among A-list celebrities in their unguarded moments. This organic endorsement further fueled the song's cross-over popularity.
The Man and the Phenomenon Behind the Track
At the core of this nationwide craze is the raw and powerful voice of Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh. His distinctive vocal energy is what gives 'Lollipop Lagelu' its unmistakable identity and irresistible pull. Already a colossal figure in Bhojpuri cinema and music, this track catapulted him to a new level of national recognition.
The rise of 'Lollipop Lagelu' is unique because it did not follow the traditional Bollywood promotion blueprint. It spread organically through YouTube, dance covers, and local performances, effortlessly crossing language and regional barriers. Over time, its catchy tune became familiar even to those who did not understand the lyrics, cementing its status as a pan-Indian party anthem.
From a regional hit to a staple at Bollywood sangeets and a viral sensation on film sets, 'Lollipop Lagelu' has outgrown its original audience in a spectacular fashion. It stands as a vibrant example of how a song with genuine energy can transcend its origins to become a shared cultural moment, uniting people on dance floors everywhere.
