Ainvayi Ainvayi from ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ (2010)
‘Band Baaja Baraat’ was Singh’s debut film but he definitely left an impression as Bittoo Sharma. In the film, he was a loveable Delhi boy who is impulsive, small town slacker who falls in love with an ambitious woman whilst starting up a wedding business. Ainvayi Ainvayi was a centrepiece to the film with Singh’s dance moves adding fun and masti to the film.

Tattad Tattad from ‘Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ (2013)
‘Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ is filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In the film, Singh played Ram, the son of the Rajadi’s, an enemy family to Ram’s beloved Leela (Deepika Padukone) Sanera family. Ram is bold and dashing ladies’ man who is used to having women fall at his feet and falls in and out of love easily. The song Tattad Tattad was his entrance in to the film and who can forget those topless shots and dance moves. The song had impact and cemented Singh’s loveable and cheeky demeanour into the industry’s books.

Gallan Goodiyan from ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ (2015)
‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ is a refreshing movie in Bollywood, tackling the idea that being rich does not mean it is all happy families and that comes with its own complexities. Singh played Kabir, the heir to his father’s (Anil Kapoor) business who is having his free spirit tamed to become a hardnosed businessman like his father. In the film, Gallan Goodiyan was beautifully shot with all the actors coming into their own, showing off their moves. The chemistry between Kapoor and Singh was fantastic in this song with Singh emulating some of Kapoor’s famous moves.

Malhari from ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (2016)
In ‘Bajirao Mastani’, Singh played a Peshwa Bajirao, the chosen war leader to lead his army into battle and protect his territory. Bajirao is a warlord but with a heart and ends up falling in love with Mastani (Padukone) despite being married to Kashibai (Priyanka Chopra). Malhari was the celebration song for Bajirao enjoying his war victory with his men. The moves were fierce with a show of power and defiance in his victory, a true spectacle in the film.

Nashe Si Chadh Gayi from ‘Befikre’ (2016)
‘Befikre’ is a fun loving film about being reckless in love on the streets of Europe. Singh plays Dharam, an Indian immigrant in Paris who enjoys the freedoms of living in city that does not care about his actions. He meets Shyra (Vaani Kapoor) and the song Nashe Si Chadh Gayi is their first meeting. The song is fun and upbeat and it acted as a real showcase for Singh’s street dance moves, well matched by his co-star Vaani Kapoor.

Singh is a real entertainer and that is why he is such a joy to watch on screen. BizAsiaLive.com wishes a very Happy Birthday and great success in the coming year.
