Mr Tewari was the all-rounder

Of the three songs from The Archies in my collection that were not composed by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, and Loy Mendonsa, a couple were composed by Ankur Tewari and The Islanders.

Chhoona Aasmaan couldn’t have been a more apt title for the song, because it was a film starring newcomers, who obviously want to touch the sky.

The involvement of Tewari in the song, however, wasn’t restricted to composing it – he wrote and sang it too.

It was the shorter of his two contributions to the film’s soundtrack – it was exactly three minutes long.
