Barman served this solo up

As a person who has been out of love more often than I have been in it, and has technically not lived in a hostel (though I have lived alone for a significant portion of my life), the words Love Hostel did not resonate with me individually.

But there’s no two ways about the fact that a song titled Chali Aa – a song from the film of that name – did.

It was three minutes and 14 seconds long, and was rendered by Raj Barman.

Manoj Yadav penned the track, which was sung by Jeet Gannguli.

Clinton sang the shorter version

Love Hostel released in 2022.

If the two songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, the male version of Bas Mein Nahin would be the first – it was a couple of minutes and 35 seconds long.

It was sung by Clinton Cerejo.

The female version of the track – which was sung by Bianca Gomes – was three minutes and as many seconds long.

Incidentally, Cerejo and Gomes composed both the versions of the track.

They were written by Siddhant Kaushal.
