It didn’t imPRess anyone, either!

From the point of view of numbers, it seems that the lyricist, Manoj Yadav, and the composer, Chirantan, went one better with the second song from Rashtra Kavach Om that contained the word Saansein.

Bhatt sadly, Saansein Dene Aana was not impressive.

(Muchh)Although the film’s soundtrack contains three versions of the track, my collection contains just one of those – the duet, rendered by Palak and Raj Barman.

It was four minutes and three seconds long (as was the male version, sung by Barman).

The female version – sung by Muchhal – was three seconds longer than them.

Only Nair’s version was included

The soundtrack of Rashtra Kavach Om contained a couple of songs that contained the word Saansein (which could be translated to, “Breaths”).

And both of them had multiple versions.

One of them was Saansein Bhari Hain.

My collection contains just one version – the female version, sung by Juhi.

While it would be incorrect to call her a breath of fresh (N)air, the song was three minutes and 44 seconds long.

The male version was sung by Raj Barman, and was four minutes and a couple of seconds long.

Manoj Yadav wrote the Chirantan Bhatt compositions.

Negi’s rendition was not (Ra)ahit

Ever wondered what relief followed by disappointment sounds like?

Well, one may listen to Kala Sha Kala – from the 2022 film Rashtra Kavach Om – to find that out.

And if a person does lend it his/her ears, he/she will, on one hand, be relieved that it was not a recreated version of the traditional number of the same name, and on the other, be disappointed that it was not a patch on that track.

Kumaar wrote the Dev Negi-Raahi duet, which was three minutes and 16 seconds long.

Amjad Nadeem Aamir and Enbee composed it.

Mishra wAs Not the lyricist

Using my analogy about the sandwich from the post on Chaiyaan Mein Saiyaan Ki, I would to conclude the songs of Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 – Agni Pariksha with the other slice of bread (read: Rubaru).

The involvement of Vishal Mishra in this track wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the people who rendered it.

The others were Asees Kaur and the Nizami Niazi Brothers.

However, the only thing he didn’t do was pen the track – Manoj Muntashir was the lyricist.

It was four minutes and 21 seconds long.

Kabir wAS a Singer too

Besides writing and directing Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 – Agni Pariksha, Faruk Kabir was also credited as one of the four people who lent their voices to Junoon Hai.

The others were Brijesh Shandilya, Saaj Bhatt and Anis Ali Sabri.

The involvement of Shabbir Ahmed in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the two men who wrote it.

The other was Ayaz Kohli.

By the way, it was the longer of the four tracks from the film in my collection – it was four minutes and 44 seconds long.

Kaur (An)and Nautiyal sang it

If the soundtrack of Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 – Agni Pariksha could be likened to a sandwich, the two Vishal Mishra compositions would be the bread on either side, and the subject of this post (Chaiyaan Mein Saiyaan Ki) would be the first of the two fillings in it.

The involvement of Mithoon in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he wrote it as well.

The renowned pair of singers, Asees Kaur and Jubin Nautiyal, was joined behind the microphone for it by Keshav Anand.

The track was four minutes and five seconds long.

 

It was (Vish)all about Mishra

Khuda Haafiz released in 2020.

And two years later, Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 – Agni Pariksha released.

My collection contains four tracks from the latter.

If they were arranged in the (Vish)alphabetical order, and in the ascending order of their durations, Aaja Ve would be the first – it was three minutes and 40 seconds long.

Mr Mishra was truly an all-rounder – his contributions to the song were not restricted to composing and singing it.

But he also happened to be one of the three men who wrote it.

Kaushal Kishore and Faruk Kabir were the others.

(Moh)It was sung by Chauhan

As I began to write about Rootha Hoon, I remembered that the soundtrack of Judaa Hoke Bhi was like a sandwich, where the songs sung by the two Chauhans were the slices of bread, and the other singers’ tracks were the fillings.

The aforementioned song was a Mohit Chauhan solo.

Incidentally, the series had begun with a song sung by his namesake, Sunidhi.

And coincidentally, their durations were the same – both were five minutes and 21 seconds long.

(Dix)It was the last of lyricist Shweta Bothra’s and composer Puneet’s four contributions to the film’s soundtrack. 

The music director sang (Dix)it

In my post about the title track of Judaa Hoke Bhi, I had mentioned that Stebin Ben did not lend his voice to the longest of the six tracks on the film’s soundtrack.

By the way, that track was titled O Meri Jaan, and it happened to be half-a-dozen minutes and 51 seconds long.

The involvement of Puneet Dixit in it was not restricted to composing it, but he rendered it as well.

The only thing he did not do was write the song – the person to whom its lyrics were credited was Purvi Pathak.

This was Ben’s second contribution

In my previous post (about the title track of Judaa Hoke Bhi), I had mentioned that Stebin Ben did sing the shortest of the six tracks in the film.

Well, it was titled Mera Naseeb Ho.

And it happened to be the only song in the film that was shorter than five minutes – it was, in fact, four minutes and 39 seconds long.

The track was written by Shakeel Azmi.

It was, incidentally, the only song in the film that was composed by a duo – Amjad Nadeem Aamir and Chote Baba were the music directors. 

Ben sang the title track

If the six songs from Judaa Hoke Bhi in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, the title track of the film would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 50 seconds long (which was one second shorter than the longest song in the film).

Therefore, Stebin Ben, who sang the shortest song in the film, missed the opportunity to lend his voice to the longest one.

Shweta Bothra wrote the song, which Puneet Dixit composed.

 

(Ank)It was rendered by Tiwari

Between 2014 and 2020 (the period that could be called the Arijit Singh juggernaut at the Filmfare Awards in the Best Male Playback Singer category), there was just one other man who took the coveted trophy home.

And that happened to be none other than Ankit Tiwari.

His only contribution to the soundtrack of Judaa Hoke Bhi was Aye Mere Dil Bata.

The song, which was five minutes and a dozen seconds long, was written by Shweta Bothra.

It happened to be the only contribution of composer Harish Sagane to the soundtrack of the film. 

It could never go (Chauh)‘Ansuna’

My collection contains half-a-dozen tracks from Judaa Hoke Bhi, which released in 2022.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Andekhi would be the first.

And there was no way that it would go ansuna (unheard), because the lady who rendered it was the one and only Sunidhi Chauhan.

In fact, it was interesting that Sunidhi sang a song whose title was inspired by a song sung by a man who, according to her, could not sing – Atif Aslam.

Shweta Bothra wrote the Puneet Dixit composition, which was five minutes and 21 seconds long.

It was a Nautiyal solo

The shorter of the two songs on the soundtrack of the Hindi version of HIT: The First Case was Tinka – it was three minutes and 18 seconds long.

The involvement of Mr Bhardwaj in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be the Ma(na)n who wrote it.

The only thing he did not do was lend his voice to the song – the person who sang it was the one and only Jubin Nautiyal.

While the song’s title could be translated to, “Straw”, it was certainly not the last straw.

Arijit’s fans loved this Sing(h)le

If the three songs from the Hindi version of HIT: The First Case were arranged in the alphabetical order, Kitni Haseen Hogi would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five-and-a-half minutes long.

The man who lent his voice to the track was none other than Arijit Singh.

The song was written by Sayeed Quadri.

It happened to be the only song on the soundtrack of the film that was not composed by Manan Bhardwaj – the music director was Mithoon.

 

 

It was rendered by Divya

HIT: The First Case was a Telugu film that released in 2020.

A couple of years later, its Hindi remake – which was also titled HIT: The First Case – released.

My collection contains three songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Kahani Baaki Hai would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 51 seconds long.

The song was rendered by Divya Kumar.

Manan Bhardwaj’s involvement in it wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he penned it too.

 

 

Two Akhtars reNdered this TraCk

If you are suffering from fever or pain, pop a Paracetamol.

But if you listen to the song of that name from Good Luck Jerry, you may complain of pain in your ears.

Parag Chhabra’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the five people who lent it their voices.

Jubin Nautiyal was the most famous singer associated with the song.

Two Akhtars (Shehnaz and Sahil) and Soom T were the others.

It was written by Raj Shekhar, and was four minutes and as many seconds long.

MeH! This trACK wasn’t impressive

Despite the fact the first two words in the title of Good Luck Jerry were Good Luck, Mor Mor proved that there was precious little of that.

The contribution of Parag Chhabra to the song was not restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the five people who lent it their voices.

Vivek Hariharan, Pinky Maidasani, Deedar Kaur and Gurlej Akhtar were the others.

It was written by Raj Shekhar.

The track was the second-shortest song on the film’s soundtrack – it was a couple of minutes and 59 seconds long.

Chhabra ReNdeRed this song too

Jogan was not just the title of the first film in my collection.

But it also happened to be the longest of the five songs on the soundtrack of Good Luck Jerry in my collection – it was four minutes and 13 seconds long.

The involvement of Parag Chhabra in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the four people who lent his voices to it.

A couple of those – Nikhita Gandhi and Romy – were pretty well-known.

The fourth singer was Rupali Jagga.

The song was written by Raj Shekhar.

Did they desCriBe this song?

Jhand Ba was a Bhojpuri word, which could loosely be translated to, “Awful”.

It was also a song on the soundtrack of Good Luck Jerry.

The only duet in the film, it was sung by Madhubanti Bagchi, who was joined behind the microphone for it by Parag Chhabra (who also composed it).

Raj Shekhar wrote the song, which was three minutes and 41 seconds long.

It happened to be the shortest song in the film – it was a minute and 36 seconds long.

The sad version of the song was not included in my collection.

Six SiNGeRs rendered this traCK

Good Luck Jerry released in 2022.

My collection contains five songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the ascending order of their durations, Cutie Cutie would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 56 seconds long.

The involvement of Parag Chhabra wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the six people who sang it.

Suzanne D’Mello and Nakash Aziz were the most well-known of those.

The others were Keshia Braganza, Gary Misquitta, and Rishikesh Karmerkar.

Raj Shekhar wrote the song.

  

(Ank)It marked Sutaria’s singing debut

The word Shaamat could be translated either to, “Misfortune” or “Disaster” (depending, obviously, on the context in which it is used).

It also happened to be the fourth track on the soundtrack of Ek Villain Returns.

Ankit Tiwari’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the two people who sang it.

The other was Tara Sutaria, who didn’t just star in the film, but also made her singing debut with this track, which Prince Dubey penned.

The song was five minutes and 34 seconds long.

This was the (Altama)shortest track

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Ek Villain Returns were arranged in the alphabetical order, Naa Tere Bin would the third.

And if they were arranged in the alphabetical order of their durations, it would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 17 seconds long.

Interestingly, it was the only song on the film’s soundtrack that was shorter than the five-minute mark.

The song was rendered by Altamash Faridi.

The involvement of Tanishk Bagchi in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he wrote it as well.

 

Thankfully, Tiwari didn’t get ‘gaaliyan’

I referenced the 2014 film Ek Villain in my previous post.

One of the songs in it was Galliyan, which became one of the most popular tracks that year.

The recreated version of the song – titled Galliyan Returns – was the second song on the soundtrack of Ek Villain Returns.

The involvement of Ankit Tiwari in the new version wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he rendered it as well.

That track was written by Manoj Muntashir.

By the way, they collaborated on the original too.

The new version was five minutes and 50 seconds long. 

This song was below (Ragh)average

Ek Villain released in 2014.

And in 2022, a spiritual successor to the film – titled Ek Villain Returns – released.

My collection contained four tracks from the latter.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Dil would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was five minutes and nine seconds long.

However, contrary to what its title could be translated to, it didn’t win the listeners’ hearts.

The Raghav Chaitanya solo was written by Kunaal Vermaa, and was composed by Kaushik-Guddu.
