Minati did Carry it off

CarryMinati – whose real name is Ajey Nagar – is one of India’s leading YouTubers and a streamer who is popular with youngsters for his roasts and commentaries.

And he recently added another feather to his cap when he penned and sang the title track of The Big Bull.

It was three minutes and 15 seconds long.

Although he didn’t compose the track, he did keep it in the family – the music director was his older brother Yash, who goes by Wily Frenzy (which means sense, in a way, because the track slyly excited his sibling’s fans).

 

 

Ms Chauhan’s solo was short

If the four songs on the soundtrack of The Big Bull were arranged in the alphabetical order, Paise Ka Nasha was the third.

Incidentally, it was the shortest of those – it was just a couple of minutes and 56 seconds long.

Over a year after their delightful collaboration on Shankara Re Shankara from Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, the lyricist (Anil Verma) and the composer (Mehul Vyas) teamed up for this track.

And by no means would it be incorrect to state that as expected, the Sunidhi Chauhan solo was right on the money (pun intended!)     

(Ank)It was rendered by Tiwari

Ishq Namazaa was the second contribution of the lyricist (Kunwar Juneja) and the music director (Gourov Dasgupta) to the soundtrack of The Big Bull.

And if the four songs in the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second of those – it was four minutes and 25 seconds long.

The track was rendered by the one and only Ankit Tiwari.

And by no means would it be incorrect to state that he did it justice, because it was tailor-made for him.   

Yes, Sir! It was Yasser

In my post on Gypsy Guitar (from Hello Charlie), I mentioned that my collection contains a couple of tracks which were composed by Gourov Dasgupta, rendered by Yasser Desai, and were from films that released in April 2021.

And the second of those was the subject of this post.

The track was titled Hawaon Ke Sheher Mein, and it happened to be the longest of the four songs from The Big Bull – it was four minutes and 57 seconds long.

It was one of lyricist Kunwar Juneja’s two contributions to the soundtrack of the film.

  

(Burm)Another S D sang it

When I had just read the list of songs on the soundtrack of Koi Jaane Na (and was yet to listen to them), I was surprised when I noticed that one of the songs was Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai.

In fact, I was expecting another disappointing recreation (of sorts) of the song from Mr. India (1987), but when I heard it, I realised that music director Rochak Kohli had done a pretty decent job.

Manoj Munatashir penned the song, which was three minutes and 53 seconds long.

It was rendered by Soumitra Dev Burman.

These three duos NaiLed it

Not one, not two, but there were three duos involved in the making of Rabb Manneya, from Koi Jaane Na.

As far as the number of lyricists involved in the track was concerned, there’s no two ways about the fact that ek se bhale do (two were indeed better than one).

Manoj Muntashir and the interestingly-named Sham Deewana wrote the song, which was four minutes and 15 seconds long.

It was composer Rochak Kohli’s second contribution to the film’s soundtrack, and Vikram Nagi teamed up with him.

And Neeti Mohan sang it with Lakhwinder Wadali.

Armaan rendered Amaal’s second TracK

The title track of Koi Jaane Na was the longest of the six songs in the film – it was four minutes and 31 seconds long.

And like the second-longest track (about which I have already written a post), it was penned by Kumaar.

The involvement of Amaal Mallik in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the three people who rendered it.

The others were Armaan Malik and Tulsi Kumar (whose uncle and brother currently head T-Series, the label under which the film’s music was released).

Praak couldn’t let it B(e)

Jaane De was the shortest of the six tracks on the soundtrack of Koi Jaane Na – it was three minutes and 35 seconds long.

Ironically, the song could be translated to, “Let it be”.

Or, given the fact that it was rendered by Praak, it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that a more appropriate translation would be, “Let it B”.

The song, which was penned by Manoj Muntashir, was composed by Rochak Kohli.

Interestingly, it was one of the three contributions of both the lyricist and the music director to the soundtrack of the film.  

(Jub)Indeed, Nautiyal did it justice

I always assumed ishq meant love.

But I recently looked up the meaning of the word online.

And when I realised it was intense love, and then found out that the soundtrack of Koi Jaane Na featured a Jubin Nautiyal solo titled Ishq Karo Dil Se, it began to make a great deal of sense.

After all, the characteristic passion was evident in his rendition of the song, which was four minutes and 23 seconds long.

The track, which was penned by Kumaar, was one of composer Amaal Mallik’s two contributions to the film’s soundtrack.

 

Vishal and Zara had ‘Fun(n)’

Har Funn Maula is a phrase that could be translated to all-rounder.

And if the six songs from Koi Jaane Na on this blog were arranged in the (Vish)alphabetical order, it would be the first.

The track, which was four minutes and seven seconds long, was rendered by Mr Dadlani and Zara Khan.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that its title was apt for the former.

However, the song was neither penned nor composed by him – while the former was credited to Amitabh Bhattacharya, the latter was credited to Tanishk Bagchi. 

Undoubtedly, Jassi fared rather (Ka)poorly

Here’s a question: What is common to the first song from Hello Charlie on this blog and the subject of this post (which was titled Soneya Ve*)?

The answer to that was both were penned by Kumaar.

The involvement of Kanika Kapoor in the song wasn’t restricted to being one of the two people who sang it**, but she composed it too.

[*Note (1): It was the shortest of the four tracks from the film in my collection – it was a couple of minutes and 36 seconds long.]

[**Note (2): Jasbir Jassi was the other.]

‘NA’ was the listeners’ reaction

As far as the descending order of its duration, as well as the number of words in its title were concerned, One Two One Two Dance happened to be the longest song on the soundtrack of Hello Charlie – it was three minutes and 36 seconds long.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that NA weren’t just the initials of the man who rendered the song (Nakash Aziz), but it could have been the reaction of the listeners to it too.

The track, which was penned by Vayu, was composed by Tanishk Bagchi.

Its title was (Yas)seriously absurd

If the four tracks from Hello Charlie on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the descending order of their durations, Gypsy Guitar was the second – it was three minutes and 31 seconds long.

Not only was the title of the song – which was written by Shellee – absurd, but it was also unlikely to impress both gypsies and people who play the guitar.

A couple of films released in April 2021, and their soundtracks featured Gourov Dasgupta compositions that were sung by Yasser Desai.

This song happened to be one of those.

It KoulDn’t be called re(Ku)markable

Kumaar wrote two of the four tracks from Hello Charlie – which released in 2021 – on this blog.

The first of those was Chandareya Chumka.

As far as their durations were concerned, it also happened to be the longer of the two (and the second of the four) – it was a couple of minutes and 41 seconds long.

The involvement of Kiranee and Don D Marley in this unremarkable song was not restricted to composing it (with Rishi Rich), but they sang it as well.

The aforementioned duo was joined behind the microphone by Simerjit Kumar.
