Unfortunately, Ms Chauhan didn’t ‘Rock’

The second song from Good Morning Sunshine in my collection was Rock A Bye Bye.

And it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that a rockstar was roped in to render it.

The singer in question was none other than Sunidhi Chauhan.

That song, and Har Karwate, had a couple of things in common.

Firstly, the song was written by Riya Mukherjee.

And secondly, it was composed by M M Keeravani.

While one of the words in the title of the film was morning, the song reminded me of Rock-A-Bye, Baby, the nursey rhyme and lullaby.

 

 

 

 

Neeti and Madhusree sang it

The third April 2024 release in my collection that began with G was the second film whose title had the word Good.

I am talking about Good Morning Sunshine.

My collection contained two tracks from the film.

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

The two ladies who lent their voices to the song were Neeti Mohan and Madhusree Bhattacharya.

It was written by Riya Mukherjee.

The only man involved with the song was the composer, M M Keeravani.

His team was credited with its arrangements and programming.

 

It was sung by Divya

The subject of this post, and that of the previous one, had three things in common.

Firstly, they were from Good Luck.

Secondly, they were written by Mukesh Sanket.

And thirdly, they were composed by Jaydeep Hora (who was also credited with arranging them).

However, there were a couple of differences between Choti Choti Khushiyan and the other song from the film in my collection.

The latter was a solo titled Mahakal.

And the man who lent it his voice was Divya Kumar.

The song was mixed and mastered by Girish Saikia of Studio Strings.

Hora wASn’t just the singer

The hat-trick of films that began with G and released in April 2024 contained a couple of films whose first word was Good.

One of those was Good Luck.

If the two songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Choti Choti Khushiyan would be the first.

The involvement of Jaydeep Hora in the song was not restricted to composing (and arranging) it, but he was also one of the two people who lent their voices to it.

Aanchal Sethi was the other.

The song was written by Mukesh Sanket.

It was sung by Daler

Gabru is a Punjabi word that could be translated to, “A young man who is attractive, brave, and charming”.

The subject of this post was from a film whose title conjured up images of a group of such individuals.

In other words, the second song from Gabru Gang was titled Tu Ban Ja Gabru.

Unlike Mujhe Ishq Hua Hai, the person who penned it, and the one who lent his voice to it, were household names.

I am talking about Sameer Anjaan and Daler Mehndi, respectively.

The man who composed the song was Usman Khan.

Sukhwinder lent it his voice

There were three films in the April 2024 segment of this playlist that began with the letter G.

And my collection contained a couple of songs from each of those.

The first of those was Gabru Gang.

Alphabetically, the first song from the film in my collection was Mujhe Ishq Hua Hai.

The person who lent his voice to it was the one and only Sukhwinder Singh.

He happened to be the most famous person associated with the song – while it was penned by Neeraj Rajawat, the man who composed it was Abhinav R Kaushik.

 

Tiwari sang it with Prasad

From an alphabetical point of view, the third song on the soundtrack of Ek Kori Prem Katha was Kaccha Matka.

If they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 17 seconds long.

It happened to be the second contribution of Vickey Prasad to the soundtrack of the fil, as both composer and singer.

But unlike Chand Ki Thali, it was a duet – the lady who joined him behind the microphone for it was Suvarna Tiwari.

The song was written by Sanjay Dhoopa Mishra.

Vickey Prasad rendered this song

If the three songs on the soundtrack of Ek Kori Prem Katha were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order), Chand Ki Thali would be the second – it was three minutes and 11 seconds long.

The song’s title should not be confused with Chandi Ki Thali, which means a silver plate.

It could be translated to, “A plate of the moon”.

Vickey Prasad’s involvement in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he sang it too.

Sanjay Dhoopa Mishra wrote it.

 

Kapadia composed and sang it

Ek Kori Prem Katha released in 2024.

There were three songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, the subject of this post would be the first.

That was because it was titled Aigiri Nandini.

And it was just a couple of minutes and 25 seconds long.

As far as the lyrics were concerned, it was a traditional song.

The involvement of Vinay Kapadia in the song was not restricted in composing it, but he sang it too.

 

 

 

Shreyas coMPoseD And sAng it

Given how extensive the railway network in India is, it was fitting that the last track on the soundtrack of Dukaan was titled Train Song.

The involvement of Shreyas Puranik in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it.

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

As far as the current crop of singers was concerned, the best-known of the lot was Divya Kumar.

Ananya Wadkar, Apurva Nisshad, Meenal Jain, and Prajakta Shukre were the others.

The song was penned by Garima Wahal and Siddharth Singh.

Mir sang this feStiVe number

There was a time in Hindi films when Holi songs used to be a sub-genre in its own right.

But of late, they seem to have become a rarity.

However, one of the songs on the soundtrack of Dukaan did celebrate the festival of colours.

It was titled Rang Maar De Holi Hai.

Osman Mir, the voice of the soundtrack, was one of the four people who sang it.

Sunidhi Chauhan, Bhoomi Trivedi, and Vishal Dadlani joined him behind the microphone for it.

Garima Wahal and Siddharth Singh wrote the song, which Shreyas Puranik composed.

 

 

 

Puranik and Singh sang (Arij)it

One of the songs on the soundtrack of Dum Laga Ke Haisha, which released in 2015, was Moh Moh Ke Dhaage.

To obtain the similarly-titled song from Dukaan, one had to follow a three-step procedure.

The first was to drop one of the Mohs.

The second was to replace Ke with Na.

And the third was to replace the Dh in the last word with L.

That was because it was titled Moh Na Laage.

Shreyas Puranik didn’t just compose it, but he also joined Mr Singh behind the microphone for (Arij)it.

Siddharth-Garima wrote it.

Aishwarya sang it with Shreya

If there is an event a lady eagerly looks forward to, it is the announcement of her impending motherhood.

The Hindi phrase for that is Goad Bharai (which could literally be translated to, “Filling the lady’s lap”).

Since Hindi films have songs for every occasion, and every occasion for a song, why should that be any different?

Therefore, there was a song on the soundtrack of Dukaan that couldn’t have been more direct – it was titled Maa Banne Wali Hoon.

Aishwarya Bhandari sang it with Shreya Ghoshal.

Siddharth-Garima wrote the song, which Shreyas Puranik composed.

Aishwarya and Osman sang (Moh)it

Of late, incorporating words from other languages in Hindi songs seems to have become a trend.

And the latest song to jump onto that bandwagon was Love Story Natthi, a song from Dukaan.

The last word is Gujarati for, “Not”.

Therefore, the song – which was penned by Garima Wahal and Siddharth Singh – could be translated to, “Not a love story”.

It was Osman Mir’s second contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

Aishwarya Bhandari and Mohit Chauhan were the two people joined him behind the microphone for the song, which was composed by Shreyas Puranik.

Mir sang this Puranik composition

Dukaan released in 2024.

My collection contained half-a-dozen songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, J J Jasmine – also transliterated to Jai Jai Jasmine – would be the first.

The involvement of Shreyas Puranik in the song was restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the two people who lent their voices to it.

The other was Osman Mir.

The song was written by Garima Wahal and Siddharth Singh, who also wrote and directed the film, besides being two of the four people who produced it.

It marked Lucky Ali’s comeback

I started the segment on songs from Do Aur Do Pyaar with Aa Bhi Jaa.

It reminded me of the song from Sur: The Melody of Life (2002), as well as the man who sang that song, besides playing the lead in the film – Lucky Ali.

Tu Hai Kahaan – which was three minutes and 40 seconds long – marked his comeback to Hindi films.

The song was composed and penned by The Local Train, a New Delhi-based rock band, comprising lead singer and acoustic guitarist Paras Thakur, bassist Ramit Mehra, and drummer and percussionist Sahil Sarin.

 

Vivek Hariharan sang this song

The second song in the trilogy of songs from Do Aur Do Pyaar that began with the letter T was Teri Meri Yeh Kahaani.

In fact, it could also be called songs from the film whose titles began with T, which was followed by a different vowel.

The man who sang it was Vivek Hariharan.

In fact, he was the only person associated with the song whose first name did not begin with letter A.

That was because the song was penned by Abhiruchi Chand.

And it was composed by Ananya Purkayastha and Abhishek Arora.

 

It was rendered by Dadlani

Three of the seven tracks on the soundtrack of Do Aur Do Pyaar began with the letter T.

The first of those was the subject of this post – Ta Ra Ta Ra Ta.

Two people associated with the song happened to share the same last name.

One of them was the person who penned it – Trina Mukherjee.

And the other was the one who composed it – Subhajit Mukherjee.

The most famous person involved in the song was the man who lent his voice to it.

I am talking about the one and only Vishal Dadlani.

 

Ananya and Armaan sang it

Ananya Birla (born Ananyashree) is the oldest child of Neerja and Kumar Mangalam Birla (chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, abbreviated to ABG).

She is a singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur, who teamed up with Armaan Malik to render a song from Do Aur Do Pyaar.

It was titled Jazbaati Hai Dil, and it was three minutes and a dozen seconds long.

The song was penned by Kunaal Vermaa.

It was composed by Lost Stories, a pair of DJs and music producers. While Prayag Mehta comprises one half of the duo, Rishab Joshi is the other.

Tushar completed the ‘Do duology’

There was a ‘Do duology’ on the soundtrack of Do Aur Do Pyaar.

In other words, there were a couple of tracks in the film whose titles that had the word Do.

Like Do Kinaare, the title of the subject of this post had do words.

But unlike that song, Do was the second word in the title of this one – Jaaney Do.

The man who lent it his voice was Tushar Joshi.

The song, which was written by Azazul Haque, was one of the do contributions of composer Subhajit Mukherjee to the film’s soundtrack.

   

It was sung by Shubham

By no means would be it be incorrect to state that there was a song whose title began with Do on the soundtrack of a film whose title began with Do.

I am talking about Do Kinaare from Do Aur Do Pyaar.

And how appropriate was the fact that it would be the doosra track if the seven in the film were arranged in the alphabetical order?

The song was written by Manoj Yadav.

And the two people who composed it were Ananya Purkayastha and Abhishek Arora.

The man who sang it was Shubham Shirule.

When Chai Met Toast sang

Writing a five-word title for a blog post can be tricky when the name of the band associated with the subject of said post has four words.

I realised that when I was writing about Aa Bhi Jaa – the first song on the soundtrack of Do Aur Do Pyaar (2024) – was composed and sung by When Chai Met Toast, a multi-lingual indie folk alternative quartet from Kochi, Kerala.

It comprised vocalist Ashwin Gopakumar, guitarist and banjo player Achyuth Jaigopal, keyboardist and producer Palee Francis, and drummer and percussionist Pai Sailesh.

Ankur Tewari wrote the song. 

Ms Kalita joined the Vishals

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan were arranged in the alphabetical order, Wallah Habibi 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 42 seconds long.

Vishal Mishra’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was one of the three people who sang it.

The others were Dipakshi Kalita and Mishra’s namesake, Vishal Dadlani.

The song was penned by none other than Irshad Kamil.

It was rendered by Mishra

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, the subject of this post would be the penultimate one.

That was because the song was titled Rang Ishq Ka.

And it happened to be three minutes and 19 seconds long.

In other words, it was just one second shorter than Mast Malang Jhoom.

It was the only solo in the film – it was sung by Vishal Mishra, who composed it too.

Irshad Kamil penned the song.

 

(Arij)It was suNG by Mishra

From an alphabetical point of view, the second of the four songs on the soundtrack of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was Mast Malang Jhoom.

It happened to be the longest song in the film – it was three minutes and 20 seconds long.

The involvement of Vishal Mishra in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the three people who lent their voices to it.

Nikhita Gandhi and Arijit Singh were the others.

The man credited with penning the song was the one and only Irshad Kamil.

 

 

 

The title track VAs forgettable

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan released in 1998.

And an unrelated namesake released in 2024.

There were four songs from the latter in the film, and my collection contained all of them.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, the title track of the film would be the first – it was just two minutes and 39 seconds long.

Vishal Mishra didn’t just sing it, but was also one of the two men who sang it.

Anirudh Ravichander was the other.

Irshad Kamil wrote the song.

Desis connected with Toofan’s track

While I do not write about songs in languages other than Hindi (unless a Hindi song has a portion in another language), I couldn’t resist including this song, because it was titled Teré Teré and was sung by Toofan.

But don’t be fooled – the song didn’t mean ‘your’ in Hindi, and it wasn’t sung by someone whose stage name means ‘storm’.

It was, in fact, a musical duo from Togo (the West African country).

Their song – which was about a beautiful lady they are in love with – was a song on the soundtrack of Ameena.

Rekha and Farhad rendered it

Rehm-E-Khuda is an Urdu plea for mercy from the Almighty.

But given the quality of songs being churned out by the Hindi film industry these days, it would not be incorrect to state that people were praying to God to spare us from the repeated aural assaults.

Amidst those, there was a song on the soundtrack of Ameena whose title happened to be the italicised phrase.

The two people who lent it their voices were Rekha Rana, the film’s leading lady, and Farhad Bhiwandiwala.

Vishwajeet wrote the song, which was composed by Paresh A Shah.

Shubhangi and Dhruvan sang it

Before I added the two tracks preceding the subject of this post, and the two that followed it, to my collection, it happened to be one of the two songs from Ameena in my collection.

The track in question was the duet version of O Re Piya (which had nothing to do with its namesake from the 2007 film Aaja Nachle)

While the lady who sang it was Shubhangi Kedar, Dhruvan Murthy joined her behind the microphone for it.

Praveen Koli’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to penning it, but he composed it too.

Latu Ekka sang this song

Many people do derive vicarious pleasure watching cricketers being bought and sold at the Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions.

So, I am not surprised that there was a song that captured the state of mind of a person who has just gone to the highest bidder.

It could not have been more direct – the song was titled Meri Boli Lagi Hai.

As awful as that sounded, it was an item number of the soundtrack of Ameena.

The song, which was written by Vakeel Qureshi, was composed by Hitesh Patel.

It was sung by Latu Ekka.  

Mridul Ghosh was the singer

There is a saying that goes, “Revenge is a dish best served cold”.

And I am sure people who listened to the songs of Ameena were not expecting a warm, fuzzy feeling at the end of it.

They included a track titled Le Pratishodh, which could literally be translated to, “Avenge”.

The involvement of Sujeet Sharma and Kshettri Raaz in the song was not restricted to composing it, but they mixed and mastered it as well.

The former’s namesake – Dilip Sharma – wrote the song.

The person who lent her voice to it was Mridul Ghosh.

Ali (Aa)sang this title track

Ameena released in 2024.

My collection contained half-a-dozen tracks from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the title track of the film would be the first.

A couple of people lent their voices to it.

But only one of them happened to be a household name.

The singer in question was the one and only Javed Ali.

The person who shared Sing(h)ing credits with him for that track was Aasa.

The song, which was written by Lali Mishra, was composed by Sujeet Sharma.

It was mixed and mastered by Vivek Aryan.

Mishra composed and sang it

There were a couple of versions of Zindagi Tere Naam on the soundtrack of Yodha.

But my collection contained just one of them.

It was three minutes and 28 seconds long.

The involvement of Vishal Mishra in both the versions of the song was not restricted to composing them, but he lent his voice to them as well.

And clearly, those were not enough, so he teamed up with Kaushal Kishore to pen both the versions.

By the way, the other version of the song – which was titled the Soul Version – was three minutes long.

This was a Praak solo

If a film revolves around a soldier, a patriotic song is mandatory.

And that was precisely what Tiranga was to Yodha, because the song’s title could be translated to, “India’s national flag, which is called the tricolour”.

While it was the third song on the film’s soundtrack from an alphabetical standpoint, it would be the second if they were arranged in the descending order – it was four minutes and 22 seconds long.

It was the second contribution of composer Tanishk Bagchi and crooner B Praak to the film’s soundtrack.

Manoj Muntashir Shukla wrote the song.

Neeti lent (Arij)it her voice

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Yodha were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the third.

That was because the song in question was titled Tere Sang Ishq Hua, and it was three minutes and 38 seconds long.

The two people who lent their voices to it were Neeti Mohan and Arijit Singh.

It was the only contribution of lyricist Kunaal Vermaa to the film’s soundtrack.

Tanishk Bagchi composed it.

Praak and Virk sang it

Yodha released in 2024.

My collection contained four tracks from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first.

That was because the song was titled Qismat Badal Di.

And it was five minutes and nine seconds long.

The involvement of B Praak in the song was not restricted to composing it (with Aditya Dev), but he was also one of the two who lent their voices to it.

The other was Ammy Virk.

It was written by Jaani.

 

 

 

The vocAlist’s name was Javed

Alphabetically, the last of the nine songs on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The was Yeh Silsila.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 31 seconds long.

Therefore, it was just one second shorter than Mujhko Mili.

But it could be called another collaboration of two Js, because the song was composed by Joi Barua, and the man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Javed Ali.

The person who penned it was Irshad Kamil.

Joi didn’t just sing (Am)it

If the nine songs on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The were arranged in the alphabetical order, the title track of the film would be the penultimate one.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the fourth – it was four minutes and 20 seconds long.

The involvement of Joi Barua 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 Amit Mishra.

Irshad Kamil penned the song.

 

Thakur and Garg sang it

From an alphabetical point of view, the seventh of the nine songs on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The was Roothoon.

It was the fifth-longest song in the film (if they were arranged in the alphabetical order) – it was four-and-a-half minutes long.

Two of the four people associated with it hailed from the North-Eastern Indian state of Assam – one was the composer, Joi Barua, and the other was the male singer, Zubeen Garg.

The latter was joined behind the microphone for the song by Monali Thakur.

The man who penned it was Irshad Kamil.

Barua didn’t just render it

If the nine songs on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the sixth – it was titled Mujhko Mili.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 32 seconds long.

The involvement of Joi Barua in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it too.

However, the person who penned it was not Irshad Kamil – it was written by Vishwadeep Zeest.

It was a Jonita solo

The subject of this post was ironically titled.

If the nine songs in Woh Bhi Din The were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fifth – it was titled Higher.

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

Therefore, it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that that song was at the lower end of the scale.

Two Js were involved in it as well – Joi Barua composed the Jonita Gandhi solo.

Irshad Kamil penned the song.

The two Js sang it

The subject of this post – Guzarish – was the latest addition to my collection.

If the nine tracks on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 55 seconds long.

Joi Barua’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the two people who sang it.

Jankee Parekh Mehta was the other.

Irshad Kamil penned the song.

Barua coMposed And Rendered it

If the nine songs on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Banjare would be the third – it was four minutes and a second long.

The involvement of Joi Barua in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he also happened to be one of the four people who lent it their voices.

Adarsh Gourav (one of the film’s leads), Manik Batra, and Rana Mazumder joined him behind the microphone for the song.

Irshad Kamil wrote it.

It was rendered by Sunidhi

The first female solo on the soundtrack of Woh Bhi Din The was Awaargi.

If they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was four minutes and 44 seconds long*.

In fact, it was the longest of the four-minute tracks in the film.

The song happened to be the only contribution of Sunidhi Chauhan to its soundtrack.

While it was penned by Irshad Kamil, it was composed by Joi Barua.

(*Note: If they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the seventh.)

It was a Jagan solo

Woh Bhi Din The released in 2024.

My collection contained nine songs from the film.

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

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the sixth – it was four minutes and 34 seconds long.

Mercifully (from a Hindi film music buff’s point of view), that song was perhaps worth a listen, because the three people associated with it were well-known.

Irshad Kamil wrote the song, which was composed by Joi Barua, and composed by Suraj Jagan.

Madhubanti sang it with Abhay

There were a couple of versions of Mann Lovely on the soundtrack of Tera Kya Hoga Lovely.

But no prizes for guessing that my collection contained just one of them.

While Madhubanti Bagchi was the lady who lent her voice to both, the man who joined her behind the microphone for the version in my collection was Abhay Jodhpurkar.

It was four minutes long.

Raj Barman replaced Jodhpurkar for Version 2 of the track, which was three minutes and 28 seconds long.

The song, which was penned by Irshad Kamil, was composed by Amit Trivedi.

It was RendereD by Nakash

It would be inappropriate to call someone a loafer, because that conjures up images of a person who is up to no good.

But the shortest of the five tracks from Tera Kya Hoga Lovely in my collection was titled Loafer Akhiyaan – it was just a couple of minutes and 49 seconds long.

Three people lent their voices to it.

Of those, the best-known singer was Nakash Aziz.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by Deesi Madana and Ruchika Chauhan.

The song, which was written by Irshad Kamil, was composed by Amit Trivedi.

 

Trivedi rendered (Am)it as well

Fans of Punjabi music would probably not mind the use of a few words of that language in Hindi film songs.

But it is fair to say that the repetitions of those words might irritate those who do not like them.

There is no two ways about that one of those hackneyed words was Jugni.

It also happened to be the title of a song from Tera Kya Hoga Lovely.

Amit Trivedi did not just compose it, but rendered it as well.

Irshad Kamil penned the track, which was three minutes and 24 seconds long.

Deepali and Shashaa sang it

From an alphabetical point of view, the second song on the soundtrack of Tera Kya Hoga Lovely was Gham Ka Rang.

And as far as the descending order of their durations was concerned, it was the first – it was four minutes and 43 seconds long.

A couple of ladies lent their voices to the song.

One of them was Deepali Sathe.

And the other was Shashaa Tirupati.

Irshad Kamil wrote the song, whose title could be translated to, “Blue” (because it meant, “The colour of sadness”).

(Am)It was composed by the one and only Trivedi.

Yashita sang it with Shahid

Tera Kya Hoga Lovely released in 2024.

There were five songs from the film in my collection.

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

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was three minutes and 26 seconds long.

One of the two people who lent it their voices were Yashita Yashpal Sharma.

And the other was Shahid Mallya.

While the lyrics of the song were credited to Irshad Kamil, (Am)it was composed by none other than Trivedi.

Patwa composed and sang it

From an alphabetical point of view, the last song on the soundtrack of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar was the national song of India, Vande Mataram.

There is no two ways about the fact that the song was apt, given the film’s subject.

But the version in the film – which was a couple of minutes and 53 seconds long – was not written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, who wrote the original song.

It was credited to Dr Sagar.

Vipin Patwa’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it as well.

This was the Sambata show

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar were arranged in the alphabetical order, The Savarkar Rage would be the penultimate one.

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 10 seconds long.

The song happened to be the only one-man show on the soundtrack of the film.

And that was because the involvement of Sambata in it was not restricted to penning and composing it, but he lent his voice to it as well.

Divya and Vijay sang it

There were a couple of versions of Dharti Ka Abhimaan on the soundtrack of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.

But my collection contained just one of them.

It was the second-longest song in the film – it was three minutes and 44 seconds long.

The other version – which was titled the Extended Version of the song – was seven minutes and 42 seconds long.

The two men who lent their voices to both the versions were Divya Kumar and Vijay Prakash.

As far as the lyrics were concerned, it was a traditional song.

It was composed by Anu Malik.

 

It was a Barman solo

Swatantrya Veer Savarkar – the 2024 film – was the biopic of Indian politician, activist, and writer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

My collection contained four songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first.

That was because it was titled Dariya O Dariya, and it was four minutes and 33 seconds long.

Raj was the (Bar)man who lent the song his voices.

It was written by Prashant Ingole, and was one of composer Anu Malik’s two contributions to the soundtrack.

 

Siddharth sang the theme song

The Theme song of Shaitaan was, alphabetically, the last of the four songs on the soundtrack of the film of that name.

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 16 seconds long.

It was the third male solo on the soundtrack of the film – Siddharth Basrur lent his voice to it.

The song, which was written by Kumaar, was composed by Amit Trivedi,

It released on March 8, 2024 – which, incidentally, was the day the film released.  

It was sung by Sireesha

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Shaitaan were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending of their durations, the subject of this post would be the penultimate one – it was titled Papa Tu Hai Na. and it was just a couple of minutes and 21 seconds long.

It happened to be the only female solo on the soundtrack of the film – it was rendered by Sireesha Bhagavatula.

While the song – which released on April 2, 2024 – was penned by Kumaar, (Am)it was composed by the one and only Trivedi.

It was rendered by Jubin

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Shaitaan were released in the alphabetical order, Khushiyan Bator Lo would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was a couple of minutes and 42 seconds long.

That track was the second male solo on the film’s soundtrack – the man who sang it was the one and only Jubin Nautiyal.

It was written by Kumaar, and composed by Amit Trivedi.

The song released on February 15, 2024 – a fortnight before Aisa Main Shaitaan.

Raftaar performed the title track

Shaitaan released in 2024.

My collection contained four songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, one of the two title tracks of the film, Aisa Main Shaitaan, would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and seven seconds long.

The song happened to be one of the three male solos in the film – it was performed by Raftaar.

While the song (which released on February 29, 2024) was penned by Kumaar, (Am)it was composed by Mr Trivedi.

It was rendered by Armaan

From an alphabetical point of view, the second song from Patna Shuklla in my collection was Jeetega Tera Junoon.

It was a motivational song, because it could be translated to, “Your passion will win”.

Like Dil Kya Irada Tera, it was a solo.

But unlike that song, it was sung by a man – the one and only Armaan Malik.

The involvement of Akanksha Nandrekar and Samuel Shetty in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but they were the music arrangers and producers as well.

The man who wrote the song was Manoj Kumar Nath.

Shehnaaz Gill sang this song

My collection contains a couple of songs from Patna Shuklla, which released in 2024.

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

The lady who lent her voice to the song was the one and only Shehnaaz Gill, who happened to have a special bond with the last name Shukla (with a single L).

It was composed by Akanksha Nandrekar and Samuel Shetty.

The duo was also credited with the music arrangement and production, in addition to being the backing vocalists.

Manoj Kumar Nath wrote the song.

Sachin-Jigar VeRen’t juSt the composers

When a person murders another, what do the survivors of the deceased say?

The answer to the question is Yaad Aave (which could be translated to, “We remember him or her”).

That was the last song on the soundtrack of Murder Mubarak.

It happened to be the second-longest track in the film – it was three minutes and 40 seconds long.

Sachin-Jigar didn’t just compose the song, but they also happened to be two of the five who sang it.

Simran Choudhary, Varun Jain, and The Rish were the others.

It was written by Priya Saraiya.

Prakriti and Yashraj joined Sachin-Jigar

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Murder Mubarak were arranged in the alphabetical order, the title track of the film would be the penultimate one.

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 21 seconds long.

The involvement of Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya in the song was not restricted to composing it, but they were among the four who sang it.

Prakriti Kakar and Yashraj were the others.

The song was written by Priya Saraiya.

 

 

Sachin-Jigar rendered this tRAcK too

A word synonymous with murderer is Killer.

And if the last word in the previous sentence were repeated, it would be Killer Killer (which, was, in fact, the title of one of the four songs on the soundtrack of Murder Mubarak).

The involvement of Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya in the song was not restricted to composing it, but they also happened to be among the four people who rendered it.

Asees Kaur and Raghav were the others.

The song, which was a couple of minutes and 42 seconds long, was written by Priya Saraiya.

This was a Shilpa solo

Murder Mubarak released in 2024.

My collection contained four songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, a song with an ironic title would be the first.

If a person kills another, and his or her insensitive friends congratulate him or her for said crime, he or she is neither Bhola Bhala nor a Baby.

The italicised phrase and word in the previous sentence, in that order, was the song’s title.

Shilpa Rao sang the Sachin-Jigar composition, which was penned by Priya Saraiya.

It was three minutes and 53 seconds long.

Nora and Srushti Sang it

It is not advisable to utter the phrase, “Who’s your daddy?”

But Who’s Your Mommy was the last of the seven songs on the soundtrack of Madgaon Express.

If they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 18 seconds long.

The contribution of Sameer Uddin to the song wasn’t restricted to composing it.

But he also wrote it with Srushti Tawade and Abhishek Nailwal.

And clearly, those tasks weren’t enough.

So, Tawade and Sameer Uddin sang it with Nora Fatehi.

 

 

Benny joined Sharib and Toshi

If the seven songs on the soundtrack of Madgaon Express were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, Raaton Ke Nazaare would be the penultimate one.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 33 seconds long.

It was the second contribution of songwriter Kalim Sheikh, and the third contribution of Sharib and Toshi Sabri, to the soundtrack of the film.

The Sabris were two of the three people who lent the song their voices. Benny Dayal was the third.

 

 

Sharib Sabri was the Sing(h)er

Despite the fact that the Hindi film industry has been churning out a spate of comedies over the years, it would not be incorrect to state that the title of the fifth track from Madgaon Express did sum it up rather succinctly.

The track in question was Not Funny.

It was the fourth-shortest song on the soundtrack of the film, and the fourth song in it that under the three-minute mark – it was two minutes and 42 seconds long.

Kalim Sheikh wrote the song, which was composed by Sharib-Toshi.

Akasa and Sharib were the Sing(h)ers.

Mr Desai was the all-rounder

If the seven songs on the soundtrack of Madgaon Express were arranged in the alphabetical order, Mamo Chitte would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would the third – it was just a couple of minutes and 26 seconds long.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that although this song wasn’t exceptional, it was an exception vis-à-vis the others in the film, because it was a one-man show.

Sagar Desai’s involvement in it wasn’t restricted to composing and penning it, but he wrote it as well.

Kunal wasN’t just the singer

The second contribution of Kunal Khemu to the soundtrack of Madgaon Express was Hum Yahin.

But unlike Bohot Bhari, he was an all-rounder on this one.

And that was because he was not just the person who wrote it.

But he also happened to be one of the two men who composed the song.

The other was Ankur Tewari.

And clearly, both those tasks were not enough, so he also happened to be one of the two men who sang it.

Nathan D’Souza was the other.

The song was three minutes and 21 seconds long.

D’Evil didn’t jusT Sing it

In the case of some songs, the Hindi word for many or a lot is transliterated as Bahut.

But the second song from Madgaon Express was titled Bohot Bhari.

If the seven songs from the film were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was two minutes and 24 seconds long.

Actor Kunal Khemu, who made his directorial debut with the film, wrote it with D’Evil, who sang it with Toshi Sabri (who was one of the two men who composed it – the other being his brother, Sharib).

It was suNG by Ajay

Madgaon Express released in 2024.

There were seven songs in the film, and my collection contained all of them.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Baby Bring It On would be the first – it was three minutes and 36 seconds long.

It was the Hindi version of the Marathi song of the same name, which was from the 2016 film Jaundya Na Balasaheb.

Both the songs were composed by Ajay-Atul.

Nikhita Gandhi and Ajay Gogavale sang the song, which was penned by Kumaar.
