Dalal sang this (Chi)t(h)rack too

There were three things that Tu Mila (the subject of this post) and Athira Ravil had in common.

Firstly, it was composed by Viresh Sreevalsa.

Secondly, the lady who lent her voice to it was none other than K S Chithra.

And thirdly, this was the second song on the soundtrack that was a couple of minutes and seven seconds long.

And finally, the difference between the two tracks must be mentioned.

The involvement of Ozil Dalal in this song wasn’t restricted to writing it, but he also joined Chithra behind the microphone for it.

Sunidhi J(y)o(t)ined Bishakh for this

The second contribution of Bishakh Jyoti to the soundtrack of The Kerala Story was Pagal Parindey.

His involvement in the song was not restricted to composing it.

But he also happened to be one of the two people who lent their voices to it.

The other was the one and only Sunidhi Chauhan.

It was one of songwriter Ozil Dalal’s two contributions to the film’s soundtrack.

If the five songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order of their durations, it would be the second – it was two minutes and four seconds long.

It VaS sung by Chithra

The second of the three contributions of Viresh Sreevalsa as a music director to the soundtrack of The Kerala Story was Athira Ravil.

He also happened to be the one who wrote it.

No prizes for guessing that he was one of the two people who lent their voices to it as well.

The other was the one and only K S Chithra.

It was one of her two contributions to the soundtrack of the film.  

This was one of the two songs on it that were a couple of minutes and seven seconds long.

Viresh composed and sANg it

If Aakhir Kyun was the longest song on the soundtrack of The Kerala Story, Ambo Ambambo happened to be at the other end of the spectrum – it was just a minute and 52 seconds long.

The involvement of Viresh Sreevalsa in the song was not restricted to writing it.

But it was also one of his three contributions to the soundtrack of the film as a music director.

And clearly those were not enough.

So, he was also one of the two people who lent their voices to the song.

The other was Athul Narukara.

 

  

Bishakh coMPosed and sang it

If the five songs from The Kerala Story, which released in 2023, in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order and the descending order of their durations, Aakhir Kyun would be the first – it was five minutes and a second long.

Anant wrote the song.

Bishakh Jyoti didn’t just compose it, but he was also one of the three people who sang it.

Mahalakshmi Iyer and Porshia were the others.

The latter sang the Kurdish portion of the track.

The Unplugged version of the song – a Jyoti solo – was seven seconds longer than original.

 

The Haldipurs rendered this trAcK

The only song on the soundtrack of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai that did not have the word ‘Bandaa’ in its title was Sahara Tu Mera.

If the three songs were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order), it would be the second – it was four minutes and a second long.

The involvement of the Haldipur brothers – Sangeet and Siddharth – in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but they were also two of the three people who sang it.

Asees Kaur was the other.

Garima Obrah wrote the song.

 

It was rendered by Nigam

The second song on the soundtrack of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai was Bandeya.

If the three tracks from the film in my collection were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 46 seconds long.

That track was a solo – it was rendered by none other than Sonu Nigam.

The involvement of Sangeet Haldipur in the song wasn’t restricted to writing it (with Garima Obrah), but he was also one of the two men who composed it – the other was his brother, Siddharth Haldipur.

Even rap loVERs were unimpressed

Bandaa – a.k.a. Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai – released in 2023.

There were three songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the ascending order of their durations, the title track of the film would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 10 seconds long.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, whose rap portion was credited to Enkore (who rendered it too).

It was composed by Roy, who was also one of the two men who sang it.

Vivek Hariharan was the other.

Ali SanG the shortest song

The other song on the soundtrack of Music School that was under the four-minute mark was Teri Nigaahon Mein.

It was, in fact, the shortest of the seven tracks in the film – it was three minutes and 17 seconds long.

The two people who lent it their voices were Shreya Ghoshal and Javed Ali.

So, from an alphabetical point of view, the list of tracks in the film began and ended with songs rendered by household names, and the other five were sung by little-known ones.

Dr Sagar and Raman Raghuvanshi wrote the Ilaiyaraaja composition.

THiS AdVice wasn’t Particularly Pleasing

Generations of kids have been constantly instructed to study.

But I am sure Padhte Jao Bachcha is not something they would like to be reminded of.

By the way, that was the title of the penultimate song from Music School in my collection.

Six people lent their voices to it.

One of those – Priya Mali – was the female voice of the soundtrack.

The others were Padmaja Sreenivasan, Vaimu, Aditya Balaji, Hrithik Jayakish, and Sandeep.

It was written by Dr Sagar and Raman Raghuvanshi.

Ilaiyaraaja composed the song, which was four minutes and 19 seconds long.

This wasn’t a RocKing numbeR

For a song, the Only Way to the Top was if it were catchy.

But that could not be said of the song of that name was from Music School.

Karthik happened to be one of the three men who lent it their voices.

Rahul Nambiar and Ranjith Govind joined him behind the microphone for it.

Shivani Tibrewala, Dr Sagar, and Raman Raghuvanshi were the three people who wrote that song, which was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.

It was the longest song from the film in my collection – it was four minutes and 57 seconds long.

Unfortunately, this trAcK Vasn’t accepted

Both the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are premier institutions that every engineering student aspires to attend.

But like scores of youths who don’t get the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies from those prestigious institutions, a song from Music School wasn’t accepted by the listeners.

It was, interestingly, titled IIT to MIT My Song will Go, and it was four minutes and 46 seconds long.

Anitha Karthikeyan, R S Rakthaksh, and K Vasudevan sang that song.

Shivani Tibrewala, Dr Sagar, and Raman Raghuvanshi wrote the Ilaiyaraaja composition.

Srinisha’s solo’s title was enviable

When a person says she or he is from Goa, it is usually a great conversation starter, especially if the one she or he is speaking to is curious or envious.

In fact, one of the songs on the soundtrack of Music School was titled I am from Goa, and it was a female solo – Srinisha Jayaseelan sang it.

The two people who wrote it were Shivani Tibrewala and Dr Sagar.

The Ilaiyaraaja composition was four minutes and 14 seconds long.

Therefore, it was just two seconds longer than Aa Kar Tu (Christmas Ki Raat).

Ms Mali rendered this tracK

If the seven songs on the soundtrack of Music School were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Hichkaule would be the second – it was three minutes and 41 seconds long.

It happened to be one of the two songs in the film that were under the four-minute mark.

The two people who lent their voices to it was Priya Mali and Karthik.

Dr Sagar and Raman Raghuvanshi happened to be the two people who shared writing credits for this track too.

It was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.

It was sung by Shaan

Music School released in 2023.

If the seven songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order of their durations, Aa Kar Tu would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was four minutes and a dozen seconds long.

The song, which was alternatively titled Christmas Ki Raat, happened to be the only male solo on the film’s soundtrack – Shaan lent his voice to it.

The song, which was written by Dr Sagar and Raman Raghuvanshi, was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. 

It was rendered by Rituraj

R is the initial of Mr Mohanty’s first name – Rituraj.

And that letter also happened to be the initials of both the words in the title of the third track from Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery.

Speaking of names, they were repetitions of the same one – Radhe Radhe.

If the three songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 55 seconds long.

The song, which was written by Ashok Mishra, was composed by Ram Sampath.

It was a Sona solo

If the three songs on the soundtrack of Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nikar Chalo Re would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and 44 seconds long.

By the way, I was not familiar with the first word of that song before I heard it.

Unlike the previous (Mohapa)track, this was a female solo – Sona lent her voice to it.

The song was written by Ashok Mishra, and composed by Ram Sampath.

Sona (Bagad)was the female singer

Kathal is Hindi for jackfruit.

And A Jackfruit Mystery, incidentally, was the tagline of the film of that name, which released in 2023.

If the three songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, Lalla Lalli would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you please), it would be the second – it was a couple of minutes and 58 seconds long.

That (Mohapa)track (Bagad)was sung by Sona and Amjad.

Ashok Mishra wrote the song, which was composed by Ram Sampath.

Kini rendered it with Anshul

I don’t think the title track of Kacchey Limbu is anything to write home about.

But I will never be able to forget the name of the lady who lent her voice to it.

And that has as much to do with the missing ‘y’ as it has to do with the shared initials – her name is Aksha Kini.

Anshul Takkar’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it and joining her behind the microphone for it.

But he was also one of the two people who wrote it.

The other was Deepanshu Malik.

 

Ms Sikka sang thAT song

Kacchey Limbu – a gully cricket team for a player who is taken lightly – happened to be the title of a film that released in 2023.

A cricket match begins with the toss of a sikka (coin).

And the first of the two songs on the soundtrack of the film was sung by Yashika Sikka (and Anshul Takkar, who composed it too).

It was titled Chal Varti.

That is a Marathi phrase which means, “Come upstairs” (an instruction every gully cricketer is familiar with, because that is what their mothers holler).

Faiz Khan penned the song.

Ms Gandhi joined the Bros

If the majority of today’s Hindi film songs were to be described in a word, it would be Torture.

The fact that it was the title of the third song on the soundtrack of Jogira Sara Ra Ra – from an alphabetical point of view – may have been coincidental, but it seemed deliberate.

Meet Bros didn’t just compose the song, but they sang it too.

Jonita Gandhi joined them behind the microphone for it.

Kumaar wrote the song, which was the longest of the three in the film – it was three minutes and 37 seconds long.

It was suNG by Aziz

If the three songs on the soundtrack of Jogira Sara Ra Ra were arranged in the alphabetical order, Cocktail would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 27 seconds long.

It happened to be the lone female-male duet on the soundtrack of the film.

Nikhita Gandhi lent her voice to the song, for which Nakash Aziz joined her behind the microphone.

The song was penned by Vayu.

And it was composed by Tanishk Bagchi.

Two ladies SAng this song

There are just three songs on the soundtrack of Jogira Sara Ra Ra, which released in 2023.

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

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you please), it would be the second – it was three minutes and 10 seconds long.

The collaborators on that song were the least-known of the lot.

The two ladies who sang it were Suvarna Tiwari and Anandi Joshi.

It was written by Lavraj, and composed by Hitesh Modak.

Shadaab’s solo wasn’t a winner

Vijayi Bhava could be translated to, “May you always be victorious”.

By the way, that also happened to be the title of the only song from IB71, which released in 2023.

Unfortunately, it was not a winner as far as the listeners were concerned.

And that was a pity, purely because of the trio associated with it.

The song was a solo – the man who lent his voice to it was Shadaab Faridi.

It was written by Abhinav Shekhar.

And it was composed by Vikram Montrose.

The song was four minutes and 11 seconds long.

No DJ would play this

Whenever I see the title of a song that reminds me of an older track, I wonder whether it is a recreation.

Mercifully, Window Taley had nothing to do with Shaam Dhale Khidki Tale, from Albela (1951).

But there were a couple of things about that song.

Firstly, it was the shortest song on the soundtrack of Chatrapathi – it was a couple of minutes and 54 seconds long.

And secondly, it was Shabbir Ahmed’s only contribution as the lyricist to the film’s soundtrack.

Tanishk Bagchi composed the song, which Jyotica Tangri and Dev Negi rendered.

Than‘King’ Palak made no sense

Besides Bareilly Ke Bazaar, there was one song on the soundtrack of Chatrapathi that was over three minutes long.

It was titled Shukriya.

And it was three minutes and 13 seconds long.

The song means ‘thank you’.

The two people who lent their voices to it were Palak Muchhal and Ash King.

The track was the third – and final – contribution of lyricist Mayur Puri to the soundtrack of the film.

It was composed by Tanishk Bagchi.

I don’t think it made sense to thank any of those people for agreeing to be involved in it.  

Zahrah was gAMe for it

Of the four songs from Chatrapathi, there was a couple that was under the three-minute mark.

One of them was Gamey Gamey.

Not only would it be the second song if they were arranged in the alphabetical order, but it also happened to be the second-shortest song in the film – it was just a couple of minutes and 58 seconds long.

The song, which was written by Mayur Puri, was composed by Tanishk Bagchi.

The two people who were more than game for lending their voices to it were Armaan Malik and Zahrah S Khan.

Mercifully, the classic was SpareD

Bareilly Ke Bazaar happened to be the title of an ‘inspired’ track from Chatrapathi, which released in 2023.

Mercifully, it was not a recreated version of the yesteryear classic Jhumka Gira Re, from Mera Saaya (1966).

But the song, which was three minutes and 24 seconds long, was written by Mayur Puri.

The only thing that salvaged the song was the fact that Sunidhi Chauhan was one of the two people who lent their voices to it.

She was joined behind the microphone for it by Dev Negi.

The song was written by Tanishk Bagchi.

Only Mame’s version was included

Afwaah released in 2023.

My collection contains just one song from the film.

In fact, I would like to correct that statement – there is just one version of that track in it.

The song in question was Aaj Yeh Basant.

That translates to, “Today, this spring…”*

And it also happened to be the hook of the song.

The man who lent his voice to it was Mame Khan.

The song, which was written by Dr Sagar, was composed by Shamir Tandon.

(*Note: Interestingly, the film was a summer release – it released on May 5, 2023.)

It was sung by Kailash

Aazam released in 2023.

Going by the number of songs in Hindi films these days, it was one of those rare soundtracks that had just one song.

So, it would be appropriate to state that my collection had a single from the film.

It was titled Allah Ve Maula Ve.

And it was three minutes and 19 seconds long.

The man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Kailash Kher.

The song was penned by Nawab Arzoo.

And it was composed by Durga-Natraj.

The last name of the latter is Dastidar.

 

 

The Nooran Sisters rendered it

If the four songs from 8 A.M. Metro in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Woh Khuda would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was three minutes and 13 seconds long.

It was the only duet in the films from two points of view.

The first was the fact that the Nooran Sisters – Jyoti and Sultana – sang the song.

And the second was the fact that Shahbaaz Khan and Manoj Juloori wrote the Mark K Robin composition.   

This was a Mishra solo

The second contribution of lyricist Kausar Munir to the soundtrack of 8 A.M. Metro was Phir Se Dil Toota.

If the four songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the (Vish)alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was three minutes and eight seconds long.

The man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Mishra.

It was composed by Mark K Robin.

And it was the only song in the film that did not have another version.

 

It was rendered by Jonita

If the four songs from 8 A.M. Metro were arranged in the alphabetical order, Hey Fikar would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and a second long.

It was the only female solo on the soundtrack of the film – the lady who lent her voice to it was Jonita Gandhi.

Incidentally, the song was also written by a lady – Kausar Munir.

In fact, the only man in the team behind it was the composer, Mark K Robin. 

Nautiyal sang this aptly-titled song

Those who are fortunate to have morning persons as friends should invite them for an 8 A.M. Metro ride.

And they can do so by asking them, “Ghoomein?”

That means, “Let us roam”.

By the way, the first italicised phrase above was the title of a 2023 film.

And Ghoomey would be the first song from it if they were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the descending order of their durations – it was three minutes and 42 seconds long.

Manoj Juloori wrote the Mark K Robin composition, which was rendered by Jubin Nautiyal.

 

Mr Barman was the man

The third song from U-Turn in my collection was the male version of Sajna.

Raj Barman rendered it.

It was the shortest of the three tracks from the film in my collection – it was just two minutes and 49 seconds long.

Kumaar penned the Jeet Gannguli composition.

I did not include the female version of the song.

It was sung by Prateeksha, who seemed to be the go-to lady when it came to singing the other versions of songs in the film.

Her version was just a second longer than the one sung by Barman.

Mr Gosswami was the all-rounder

If the three songs on the soundtrack of U-Turn were arranged in the alphabetical order, Sab Adhura would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you will), it would be the second – it was three-and-a-half minutes long.

The involvement of Sundeep Gosswami in the song wasn’t restricted to composing and singing it, but he was also one of the two people who penned it.

Kanchhan Srivas was the other.

It was the only song in the film that didn’t have another version.

(As)It was rendered by Tripathy

U-Turn, which released in 2023, was the Hindi remake of the Kannada film of the same name, which released in 2016.

My collection contained three songs from that film.

If they were are arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Raaste would be the first – it ws four minutes and a dozen seconds long.

It was rendered by Asit Tripathy.

Rashmi Virag wrote the song, which was composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee.

While Prateeksha sang the female version of the song, Raj Barman sang its Reprise version.

It was rendered by Nakash

The fourth song from Mrs Undercover was Shaani Rani.

While the second word in its title was indicative of the fact that it was a woman-centric film, the word preceding it meant smart.

The song was the second contribution of composer Amit Sawant to the soundtrack of the film.

And, as was the case with Saanson Se Judi, it was penned by Shloke Lal.

By the way, it was the only solo on the soundtrack of the film.

And the man who sang it was Nakash Aziz – the go-to crooner for such kinds of tracks.

(Am)It was sung by Harjot

If the three songs on the soundtrack of Mrs Undercover were arranged in the alphabetical order, Saanson Se Judi would be the penultimate one.

Given the fact that the last word meant connected, (Am)it was fitting that Sawant was not just one of the two people who composed it, but he was also one of the two singers.

While Ankit Shah was the other man credited with composing the song, the lady who joined Sawant behind the microphone for it was Harjot Kaur.

However, only one man penned the song.

His name was Shloke Lal.

Shekhar rendered thiSTrack too

It is imperative to put it out there that no one is reading a copied and pasted version of the previous post.

But the subject of this one had three things in common with that track.

Firstly, this song’s title also began with Durga.

The difference between them was the second word of this song – it was Naari.

Secondly, Abhinav Shekhar’s involvement in it wasn’t restricted to penning and composing it, but he also happened to be one of the two people who sang it.

And thirdly, Shambhavi Thakur joined him behind the microphone for it.

Shambhavi wAS the female singer

Mrs Undercover released in 2023.

There were four songs from the film in it (and my collection contains all of them).

Of those, the titles of a couple began with Durga.

From an alphabetical standpoint, the first of those was Durga Mahakali.

The involvement of Abhinav Shekhar in the song was not restricted to writing and composing it.

But those were clearly not enough.

So, he also happened to be one of the two people who lent their voices to it.

The lady who joined him behind the microphone for that track was Shambhavi Thakur.

Payal composed and RendereD it

The soundtrack of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan ended as it began – with a song whose title ended with -amma.

If the eight songs on the soundtrack of the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, Yentamma would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was just two songs and 56 seconds long.

Shabbir Ahmed wrote the song.

Payal Dev composed it and was one of the three people who sang it.

Vishal Dadlani and Raftaar were the others.

Sajid Khan was the all-rounder

As far as the titles of Hindi film songs were concerned, I reckon the most cliched phrase is Tere Bina.

If the eight songs on the soundtrack of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the fifth – it was three minutes and 17 seconds long.

The involvement of Sajid Khan in the song was not restricted to composing it.

But he penned and lent his voice to it as well.

His brother, Wajid Khan, was not missed – he was ‘credited as the other singer’.

It was Sukhbir’s seKonD tracK

The title of the second contribution of Sukhbir to the soundtrack of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was the most cliched Punjabi phrase – O Balle Balle.

But his involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to singing it – he composed it as well.

The trio who joined him behind the microphone for it were Dimpy, Kiran, and Kabir.

The song was penned by Kumaar.

It was the third-shortest song from the film in my collection – it was three and 13 seconds long.

In fact, it was the shortest of the three-minute songs in the film.

Palak’s song did no Kamaal

Alphabetically, Naiyo Lagda was the fifth song from Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.

But it was the first song on the film’s soundtrack to release.

Salman Khan, the film’s leading man, released it two days before St Valentine’s Day, giving his fans two months to shower their immense love upon it.

Palak Muchhal and Kamaal Khan sang it.

However, it didn’t do any ‘kamaal’ (wonders).

The Himesh Reshammiya composition, which Shabbir Ahmed wrote, was the longest of the eight songs from the film in my collection – it was five minutes and 20 seconds long.

 

DSP waS amoNg the Sing(h)ers

Even a toddler would give Let’s Dance Chotu Motu – from Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan – the thumbs down.

If the eight songs from the film were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was three minutes and 20 seconds long.

Devi Sri Prasad was not just the lyricist and the composer, but he was also one of the four people who sang it.

The others were Neha Bhasin, Salman Khan [the leading man in the film (which was produced under his banner)], and Yo Yo Honey Singh.

Mr Khan Sa(lma)ng this song

Salman Khan was the leading man in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.

And clearly that weren’t enough.

So, he also sang a song on the film’s soundtrack.

The Hindi title of the song was Jee Rahe The Hum.

And it had an English title as well – in fact, the aforementioned song was preceded by the three words, Falling In Love (in brackets).

Shabbir Ahmed wrote the song, which Amaal Mallik composed.

The song was the second-longest of the eight tracks from the film in my collection – it was three minutes and 20 seconds long.

Sukhbir wasn’t just the Sing(h)er

Sukhbir Singh – known mononymously as Sukhbir – became a household name in the 1990s, when Indi-pop was a craze.

He later lent his voice to a few film songs, including the subject of this post (which also happened to be his composition).

It was titled Billi Billi.

Alphabetically, it was the song song from Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in my collection.

The 2023 film was Salman Khan’s Eid gift to his fans.

Kumaar and Vicky Sandhu wrote the song, which was the shortest of them all – it was two minutes and 54 seconds long.

 

THiS VAS just a namesake

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan released in 2023.

If the eight songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Bathukamma would be the first.

It was the second-longest song in the film – it was three minutes and 31 seconds long.

Ravi Basrur composed the song, and was one of the four people who wrote it.

Harini Ivaturi, Shabbir Ahmed, and Kinnal Raj were the others.

Ivaturi also happened to be one of the five who sang it.

Aira Udupi, Sucheta Basrur, Vijaylaxmi Mettinahole, and Santhosh Venky were the others.

Mr Mishra was the (Vish)all-rounder

If the four songs from Gumraah in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Soniye Je would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was just a couple of minutes and 40 seconds long.

In other words, it was just a second longer than the title track of the film.

The involvement of Vishal Mishra in the song was not restricted to composing it.

But he was the true all-rounder – he penned it, and lent it his voice too.

The Tandons just sang it

If the four tracks on the soundtrack of Gumraah 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 last – it was just a couple of minutes and 39 seconds long.

The two people who lent the song their voices were Mr and Mrs Tandon (Sachet and Parampara).

It was written by Bhrigu Parashar (the only one credited with the film who isn’t a household name).

The song was composed by Abhijit Vaghani.

Salma wAZ among the singers

If the four songs from Gumraah in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Ghar Nahi Jana would be the second – it was three minutes and 41 seconds long.

Three people lent the song their voices.

Of those, one was a man.

And that was the one and only Armaan Malik.

Salma Agha and Zahrah S Khan joined him behind the microphone for the song.

The song, which was penned by Rashmi Virag, was Tanishk Bagchi’s only contribution to the soundtrack as a composer.

Mithoon did NoT sing it

A film titled Gumraah released in 2023.

If the four songs on its soundtrack were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Allah De Bande would be the first – it was four minutes and 48 seconds long.

The involvement of Mithoon in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he penned it too.

In fact, if he had his way, he would probably have lent his voice to the song.

But the song was a male duet – it was rendered by Jubin Nautiyal and Aaman Trikha.

(Arij)It was sung by Jyotica

If the five songs on the soundtrack of Bad Boy were arranged in the alphabetical order, Tera Hua would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was four minutes and 40 seconds long.

The two people who lent their voices to that track were Jyotica Tangri and Arijit Singh.

It also marked th collaboration of a real-life couple.

The song was composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

And the lyricist was his wife, Sonia Kapoor (who also happens to be a television actor). 

Only Asees’ version was included

There were a couple of versions of Saajnaa on the soundtrack of Bad Boy.

But only one was included in my collection.

It was the female version, which Asees Kaur sang.

It was the shortest of the five tracks from the film in my collection – it was three minutes and 36 seconds long.

The song was penned by Shabbir Ahmed, and composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

The male version of the song was sung by Shaan.

Interestingly, it was the longest song on the soundtrack of the film – it was five minutes and 24 seconds long.

Reshammiya rendered this one too

If the five songs on the soundtrack of Bad Boy were arranged in the alphabetical order, Janabe Ali would be the third.

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

In fact, it was the shortest of the four-minute songs in the film.

Himesh Reshammiya’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing and lending his voice to it.

But he wrote it too.

That track happened to be the only male solo from the film in my collection.

WAsn’t VicH An incorrect preposition?

These days, there’s nothing official about something unless it is posted to social media.

So, it wasn’t surpriSing(h) that the ’gram inspired Himesh Reshammiya too.

He didn’t just compose Instaa Vich Story, a song from Bad Boy, but he was also one of the four who sang it.

The others were Aditi Singh Sharma, Asees Kaur and Vineet.

Vich is Punjabi for in.

But ‘story in Insta’ (which was what the song’s title translated to) makes no sense grammatically.

The lyricist, Kumaar, used an incorrect preposition.

The song was four minutes and 29 seconds long.

This song was PRetty Awful

If the five songs from Bad Boy (2023) in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Aalam Na Poochho would be the first – it was four minutes and 47 seconds long.

Going by the last two words in its title, that track wasn’t worth asking about anyway.

Of the three people who sang it, one was a (Bar)man.

His name was Raj.

And the others were Payal Dev and Aakritti Mehra.

The song, which was written by Shabbir Ahmed, was composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
