List Of Best Udit Narayan Songs [Updated 2023]

Music0 min read

One question has at least once crossed our minds when we see incredibly talented and versatile personalities. This question is whether that brilliant person is born talented or has built that skill by rigorously practicing for days and nights to reach the fame where he is currently. My personal opinion is that people who are extremely good in their field of work are gifted with the talent they possess, which they hone with sheer dedication to be the best in what they are doing. 

And, one such talented artist is Udit Narayan, who became a singing sensation in the 90s who can still give a tough fight to today’s young singers. All the Udit Narayan songs, both solo, and duet have been chartbusters, which are even loved by the younger generation.

Born on December 1, 1955, in Bihar (India), Udit Narayan rose to stardom as a leading playback singer in Bollywood from the very beginning. From yesteryear actors to present-day actors, Udit Narayan has playback for top-notch actors who are at the helm of the movie industry, namely, Amitabh Bachchan, Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar and many more.

Soon he became the first choice of very top music directors or composers who only wanted him to lend his melodious voice to the songs they were composing. His Bollywood journey began in the year 1980 when Rajesh Roshan approached him to playback for his film Unees-Bees, after which Udit Narayan songs became a saga as the songs were on everybody’s lips.

A Little About Udit Narayan!

In the early days of his singing career, Udit Narayan got the opportunity to sing duets with many senior and highly respectable singers and music composers, like Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, and Suresh Wadkar. But, the milestone that changed his life for the better and brought Udit Narayan to the limelight was the chance to playback in the movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak that was offered to him by Anand-Milind in the year 1988 in which he did a duet with his very dear friend and female playback colleague Alka Yagnik.

The song was ‘Papa Kehte Hain,’ which earned him the prestigious Filmfare Award for the best male playback singer category. But, what he believes is that out of all the Udit Narayan songs, ‘Pehla Nasha‘ from ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar‘ movie gave him superstardom.

Throughout the 2000s decade (2000-2010), Udit Narayan delivered hit songs back to back. In this ear, the popular tracks he sang were ‘Sunta Hai Mera Khuda‘ (Pukar), ‘Dil Ne Yeh Kaha Hai Dil Se‘ (Dhadkan), ‘Mitwa‘ (Lagaan), ‘Bairi Piya‘ (Devdas), and more such melodies from the movies Veer-Zaara, Dil To Pagal Hai, etc.

The chartbuster Udit Narayan songs paved the way to a feat that only he holds, which is the only male playback singer to have won Filmfare Awards in over three decades in the history of Filmfare, i.e. in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. It’s time to know the smashing hit songs, which Udit Narayan has sung in his illustrious playback career.
