Ms Royal did not ‘Fall’

Considering that the subject of this post (The Fall Song) began with word ‘The’, it was the third song from Runway 34 in my collection.

And even if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was three minutes and eight seconds long.

But contrary to its title, it would not be incorrect to state that the duo involved in the song rose.

Aditya Sharma wrote the song.

The involvement of Jasleen Royal was not restricted to composing it, but she lent her voice to it too.

 

Jasleen wasn’t just the Sing(h)er

What am I doing on this hot April day?

Well, the answer is I am writing this blog post about a film formerly titled Mayday.

The film – which was based on a real-life event – was rechristened Runway 34.

Mitra Re was the first song from the film in my collection.

Jasleen Royal’s involvement in it wasn’t restricted to composing it, but she was also one of the two people who sang it.

The one who shared Sing(h)ing credits with her was Arijit.

Aditya Sharma wrote the song, which was three minutes and 34 seconds long.

 

 

Devgn sang it with Mukhate

Yashraj Mukhate shot to fame when he set a dialogue to rap music.

He composed a song which featured on the soundtrack of Runway 34 (which released in 2022).

It was titled Jalaya Toh Nahin Na, and it was the shortest of the three tracks from the film in my collection – it was a couple of minutes and 21 seconds long.

He also happened to be one of the two people who sang it.

The other was Ajay Devgn, who directed and starred in the film as well.

The song was written by Akshay Shinde.

This was a Mishra solo

Just as the director of a film is called the captain of the ship, the composer of a song is the captain of the musical ship.

So no one has the audacity to ask them, “Yeh kyun kiya?” (which could be translated to, “Why did you do this?”)

It was a song from Operation Romeo.

Clearly, Vishal Mishra impressed the composer of the song, M M Keeravani, enough to bag that track too.

Manoj Muntashir wrote the song.

It was the shortest song from the film in my collection – it was exactly three minutes long.

Rupali and Vishal rendered it

If the three tracks from Operation Romeo were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in either order of their durations, Tere Bin Jeena Kya would be the second – it was four minutes and 27 seconds long.

The song – which could be translated to, “What is life without you?” – was the only song in the film that was a duet.

It was one of the two songs in the film to which Vishal Mishra lent his voice.

He was joined behind the microphone by Rupali Jagga.

Manoj Muntashir wrote the M M Keeravani composition.

Neeti was in the now

Operation Romeo released in 2022.

It was an official remake of Ishq, a Malayalam film that released in 2019.

If the three songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Abhi Abhi would be the first – it was four minutes and 50 seconds long.

While the title of the track could be translated to, “Now”, it would not be incorrect to state that Neeti Mohan, who sang it, was in the now.

Manoj Muntashir wrote the M M Keeravani composition.

Anurag S(aiki)ang it with Vivek

Kaun Pravin Tambe?, which released in 2022, was the biopic of Pravin Tambe, an Indian cricketer who made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut at the age of 41 in 2013, becoming the oldest debutant in the T20 league.

The only song on the soundtrack of the film was Khamakha.

A couple of minutes and 46 seconds long, it was written by Shakeel Azmi.

The involvement of Anurag Saikia was not restricted to composing it, but he was one of the two man who lent it their voices as well.

The other was Vivek Hariharan.

Sachet sang this song too

Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh released five Decembers ago.

And one of the songs in that film was titled Mehram.

An unrelated track of the same name featured on the soundtrack of Jersey.

It was written by Shellee, and was three minutes and 47 seconds long (which was just four seconds shorter than Maiyya Mainu).

The involvement of Sachet Tandon in the song was not restricted to being one of the two people who composed it*, but he happened to be the man who rendered it as well.

(*Note: The other, obviously, was Parampara Tandon.)

Sachet sang his own composition

The soundtrack of Jersey contained a couple of songs which began with the letter M.

And if they are arranged on the basis of the second letter in their titles, Maiyya Mainu was the first of those.

It was the longer of the two – it was three minutes and 51 seconds long.

In fact, it was the longest of the four tracks from the film in my collection.

The song was written by Shellee.

Sachet Tandon’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to singing it, but he also composed it with his wife, Parampara Tandon.

Mr Tandon sang it too

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Jersey were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jind Meriye (a Punjabi phrase meaning, “My life”) would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and 58 seconds long.

As was the case with the other songs in the film, the involvement of Sachet Tandon in this one was not restricted to composing it with Parampara Tandon, but he rendered it too.

The track was written by Shellee (a.k.a. Shailender Singh Sodhi).

 

Ben joined the MellowDious Tandons

The Hindi version of Jersey, which was supposed to release in 2021, finally released in 2022.

And my collection contained four tracks from the film, which was a remake of the Telugu film of the same name, which released in 2019.

The shortest of those was Baliye Re – it was three minutes and seven seconds long.

Shellee wrote it.

The involvement of Mr and Mrs Tandon – Sachet and Parampara – was not restricted to composing it, but they were two of the four people who rendered it too.

Stebin Ben and Mellow D were the others.

 

Mrs Tandon’s solo was short

If the four songs from Hurdang in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Padhai Likhai would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the last – it was just two minutes long.

Upon listening to it, I was unable to decide whether I hated studies more or the song.

Parampara Tandon’s involvement wasn’t restricted to composing it (with Sachet Tandon), but she sang it too.

In fact, it was the only female solo in the film.

The song was written by Irshad Kamil.

 

   

This was (Arma)another awful recreation

Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai was a song from Rocky, which released in 1981.

It was written by Anand Bakshi, composed by R D Burman and rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar.

A recreated version of the song featured on the soundtrack of Hurdang.

Although the song was credited to Amaal Mallik, Pancham’s name featured in the credits of this version as well.

It was sung by Armaan Malik.

Stepping into Bakshi’s shoes was obviously a Herculean task for Rashmi Virag.

The longest song in the film, it was five minutes and 35 seconds long.

Mr Tandon sang this too

If the four songs from Hurdang in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Khwaab Khwaab would be the second.

But if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and 24 seconds long.

The song was written by Irshad Kamil.

It was composed by Sachet and Parampara Tandon.

It is quite possible that repeating the Hindi word for dream in the title was the former’s way of reiterating the fact that it was his dream to shine as a singer as well.

 

This was a Sachet solo

Hurdang released in 2022.

If the four songs from Hurdang in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Halla Sheri would be the first.

But if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 27 seconds long.

While I do not know what the title of the song translates to, it was written by Irshad Kamil.

The involvement of Sachet Tandon in the song was not restricted to composing it (with Parampara Tandon), but he lent his voice to it as well.

Sachin-Jigar were The Sing(h)ers

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Dasvi were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the ascending order of their durations, Thaan Liya was the last – it was four minutes and 31 seconds long. 

And be it a song or preparing for an examination, success is impossible without determination (which is, incidentally, what thaan lena could be translated to).

Sachin-Jigar’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but they were also among the four people who lent it their voices.

Tanishkaa Sanghvi (the former’s daughter) and Sukhwinder Singh were the others.

Sachin-Jigar didn’t (Ma)merely compose it

If the four songs from Dasvi were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nakhralo was the third. 

The song was exactly three minutes long.

Therefore, it would be the second if the four tracks were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the third if they were arranged in the descending order).

The involvement of Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya in the track was not restricted to composing it, but they were two of the three people who sang it as well.

The third was Mame Khan.

The song was written by Ashish Pandit.

Sachin JoineD Mika and Mellow

Macha Macha Re was a song from Dasvi.

Not only could it be interpreted as a message wishing the students taking the tenth-grade board examinations – which are considered the first rite of passage in the life of every Indian student – the best of luck, but it also meant, “Have fun after them”.

Sachin-Jigar did not just compose it, but they were two of the five people who sang it too.

Mika Singh, Divya Kumar and Mellow D were the others.

The song – which was three minutes and 16 seconds long – was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Sachin-Jigar weren’t just the KoMposers

If the four songs from the 2022 film Dasvi in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Ghani Trip would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 55 seconds long. 

The involvement of Sachin-Jigar in the track was not restricted to composing it, but they were two of the four people who sang it as well.

The others were Keerthi Sagathia and Mellow D.

(Pand)It was one of the three contributions of lyricist Ashish to the soundtrack of the film.

Sachdev and Nautiyal sang it

My collection contains just one version of Phir Se Zara.

The involvement of Shashwat Sachdev in the song (which was from Attack: Part 1) wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the two men who lent it their voices.

The other was the one and only Jubin Nautiyal.

It was three minutes and 50 seconds long.

As its title suggests, the other version (which was titled Phir Se Zara – the Shashwat Sachdev version) was a solo.

It was 16 seconds shorter than the duet.

Both those tracks were written by Kumaar.

This song certainly VaSn’T earth-shattering

One of the songs on the soundtrack of Attack: Part 1 was Main Nai Tuttna (which could be translated to, “I won’t break”).

And there’s no two ways about the fact that that was just the sort of confidence one needed to stay ahead of the competition.

The contribution of Shashwat Sachdev in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the three people who lent it his voice.

The others were Vishal Mishra and Tisoki.

Kumaar wrote the song, which was three minutes and 26 seconds long.

Bjorn waSn’t just the lyricist

By no means would it be incorrect to state that the subject of this post would win the award for the La La Laziest title of them all.

Of course, it was not because one of the two people who lent it his voice forgot the words of the song, because he was the man who penned it as well.

The person in question was Bjorn.

The other was Shashwat Singh, who composed the song as well.

The song, which was from Attack: Part 1, was just a couple of minutes and 18 seconds long

Sachdev didn’t Just compose it

Ik Tu Hai happened to be the longest song on the soundtrack of Attack: Part 1 – it was four minutes and 10 seconds long.

The song could be translated to, “You are the one”.

And the one refers to Shashwat Sachdev.

His involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was one of the two people who lent it their voices as well.

The other was Jubin Nautiyal.

In fact, it was one of the two contributions of the duo to the soundtrack of the film.

The song was penned by Kumaar.

 

This SoNg completed Jain’s hat-trick

Just a couple of days ago, someone asked me if I recite the Gayatri Mantra.

And I recently listened to a song titled Durga Gayatri Mantra (which is an invocation to Goddess Durga for protection and success).

It was from Attack: Part 1, and three minutes and 16 seconds long.

Shashwat Sachdev’s involvement in the song – which Kumaar wrote – wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the three people who rendered it.

The song completed Shreya Jain’s hat-trick.

And it was Nakul Chugh’s second contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

 

MiSTer Sachdev certainly wasn’t ‘Crazy’

Shashwat Sachdev’s involvement in Crazy Now – a song from Attack: Part 1 – was not restricted to composing it, but he was one of the four people who lent it their voices all.

Shreya Jain was the only woman who sang it – in fact, it was her second contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

The other two singers were mononymously named.

One of them was the interestingly-named Magic (though the song was anything but magical).

And the other was Tisoki.

Kumaar wrote the song, which was just a couple of minutes and 43 seconds long.

Magic was only a SinGer

Chal Hatt is something one would utter if he/she were asked if he wanted to listen to a run-of-the-mill song.

And that also happened to be the title of one such song.

A couple of minutes and 26 seconds long, it was from Attack: Part 1.

Obviously, the involvement of Shashwat Sachdev in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the three people who sang it.

Interestingly, the screen name of one of the other two was Magic.

The third singer was Girish Nakod.

It was written by Kumaar.

This SonG’S title was capitalised

Of all the words in the world, you wouldn’t want to use this word to name a song, and you certainly wouldn’t want to capitalise it.

But Kumaar did both those things.

The track in question was BOMB!, and it was from Attack: Part 1.

It wasn’t just composed by Shashwat Sachdev, but he was one of the three people who sang it too.

The others were Shreya Jain* and Girish Nakod. 

The song was a couple of minutes and 25 seconds long.

(*Note: The song began her hat-trick of songs on the film’s soundtrack.)

This was the Shortest SoNg

If the nine songs from Attack: Part 1 (which released in 2022) in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the ascending order of their durations, Akh Kashni would be the first – it was a couple of minutes and a dozen seconds long.

Shashwat Sachdev’s involvement in the track – which Kumaar wrote – wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was one of the three people who rendered it too.

One of them was Surbhi Yadav. The track was her only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

The other was Nakul Chugh.
