Whenever Deepavali kicks in we all know what’s coming next. Any guesses, huh? Well if you’re thinking about Deepavali advertisements, you’re close, but you’re wrong.
I’m talking about Deepavali songs folks!
Advertisements during Deepavali are very popular, and almost everyone waits for it and for many, Petronas Deepavali advertisements have been epic! Don’t you miss their poignant and message-filled Deepavali advertisements?
I sure do, and my favourite of all their ads would be ‘Boyz In Da Hood.’ How many of you remember this? I can see hands waving at me, haha..
Despite receiving Deepavali advertisements that are really sentimental and come with strong moral values at the end, Deepavali songs truly lighten up the atmosphere and boost our moods to celebrate.
On that list, let’s take a look at some of our favourite Deepavali songs of all time. This collection includes old Deepavali songs as well as the most recent ones.
1Astro Ulagam Deepavali Song
It’s been eight years since the song was released by Astro Ulagam, but it’s still one of our favourite Deepavali tracks. It’s a two-minute long music video that just fuels our entire Deepavali mood and is sung by the 2012 Vaanavil Superstar Singers.

7Petronas Deepavali song – Vattam
As mentioned at the beginning, Petronas ads have always had a special place in our hearts. Apart from the fun beat, this song lets us take a step back and reflect on a couple of things. All in all, this incredibly cute animation song demonstrates a great deal of effort by Petronas.
All these songs give a special meaning to our Deepavali celebration. Without these songs, our Deepavali will never be complete. What’s your favourite song in the compilation above?
