Sunanda sang it with Badshah

The third song from Nawabzaade in my collection – and the second on this playlist – was Tere Naal Nachna.

While it was the last of those from an alphabetical point of view, it was the second song if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you please) – it was a couple of minutes and 46 seconds long.

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

It marked Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma’s debut.  

This recreation remained a SInGle

Amma Dekh Tera Munda Bigda Jaaye was a song from Stunttman (1994).

Alka Yagnik and Bali Brahmbhatt sang it.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

Its recreated version featured on the soundtrack of Nawabzaade, which released in 2018.

It was the shortest of the three songs from the film in my collection – it was just two minutes and 18 seconds long.

Gurinder Seagal composed the song, and wrote it with Ikka Singh.

Sukriti Kakar joined them behind the microphone for it.

Owing to copyright issues, it was dropped from the film, but remained a single.

 

 

Aslam’s version, rightfully, was criticised

Mitron released in 2018.

There were three songs from the film in my collection, including the subject of this post.

The track in question was Chalte Chalte.

It was the recreated version of the song from Pakeezah (1972).

Kaifi Azmi wrote the original – a Ghulam Mohammad composition, which was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

The involvement of Tanishk Bagchi in the recreation – which was just a couple of minutes and 58 seconds long – wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he wrote it too.

It was sung by Atif Aslam.

Mangeshkar wasn’t wrong when she criticised it.

   

Palomi Ghosh rendered this recreation

Helicopter Eela released in 2018.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was, in fact, the recreated version of a song, that was from a film that released in 1994, and became very popular.

The track in question was Ruk Ruk Ruk, and it was from Vijaypath.

It was written by Shyam Anuragi (who, incidentally, penned the Helicopter Eela track too), composed by Anu Malik, and composed by Alisha Chinai.

However, the man credited with the recreation – which was four minutes and nine seconds long – was Raghav Sachar.

Palomi Ghosh sang it.

Ms Chauhan sang this recreation

A film titled Anmol Ghadi released in 1946.

The most popular song on the soundtrack of that film was Jawan Hai Mohabbat.

It was written by Tanvir Naqvi, composed by Naushad Ali, and rendered by Noor Jehan.

A recreated version of the song featured on the soundtrack of Fanney Khan.

It was titled Mohabbat. Therefore, it was, alphabetically, the last of the four tracks from the film.

The Sunidhi Chauhan solo was four minutes and three seconds long.

While Irshad Kamil penned the song, no prizes for guessing that it was composed by Tanishk Bagchi.

This version wasn’t worth (Mon)alisten

Fu Bai Fu is a popular Marathi song, whose Hindi version featured on the soundtrack of Fanney Khan (2018).

With the addition of that song, and the next one, to my collection, there were four tracks from the film in my playlist.

All of those were recreations, and this, from an alphabetical point of view, was the second.

If they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, the run-of-the-mill song, sung by Monali Thakur, would be the first – it was four minutes and 37 seconds long.

Irshad Kamil penned the Amit Trivedi composition.

Neeti sang it with Guru

If the two tracks from Dil Juunglee (2018) were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nachle Na 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 40 seconds long.

The involvement of Guru Randhawa in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he also teamed up with Rajat Nagpal to pen it.

And clearly, that were not enough.

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

Neeti Mohan was the other.

It was Atif’s Indian swan‘song’

Baaghi 2 – which, as its title suggests, was the second installment in the Baaghi film series – released in 2018.

Alphabetically, the subject of this post – O Saathi – was the last of the three songs from the film in my collection.

But if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 11 seconds long.

It was Atif Aslam’s last song in a Hindi film, owing to the ban on Pakistani artistes.

Arko Pravo Mukherjee did not just compose the song, but penned it too.

Malik sang this title track

While the subject of the previous post was composed by the uncle, the subject of this post was composed and rendered by his nephews.

Amaal Mallik was the music director, and Armaan Malik was the lad who lent his voice to it.

The song in question was Uff Yeh Noor.

Alphabetically, it was the last of three songs from Noor (2017) in my collection.

The lyrics of the song were not credited to a member of the three-generational Hindi film musical clan.

But the person who penned it was none other than Manoj Muntashir Shukla.

 

 

  

 

Naza Jr rendered this qawwali

Chadhta Suraj Dheere Dheere was a qawwali composed and sung by Aziz Naza.

The next two words of the song were, “Dhal jayega”.

Therefore, it could be translated to, “The rising sun will gradually set”.

The only thing he did not do was pen it – the man credited with its lyrics was Qaiser Ratnagirvi.

A recreated version of the song featured on the soundtrack of the 2017 film Indu Sarkar.

The aforementioned qawwal’s son, Mujtaba Aziz Naza, lent it his voice.

But the person who composed the song was the one and only Anu Malik.

Anushka and Nikhil sang this

Maine Pyar Kiya released in 1989.

Its title track – Aate Jaate Hanste Gaate – was inspired by American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder’s 1984 charttbuster I Just Called To Say I Love You.

It was written by Dev Kohli, composed by Raamlaxman, and sung by Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

A recreated version of the song – which was just a couple of minutes and 49 seconds long – featured on the soundtrack of Golmaal Again (2017).

Kohli was credited with penning that version too.

It was composed by Abhishek Arora, and sung by Anushka Manchanda and Nikhil D’Souza.

Dixit wasn’t just the singer

Chef released in 2017.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Shugal Laga Le would be the first – it was four minutes and 42 seconds long.

The involvement of Raghu Dixit in the song (which released on September 6, 2017) wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it as well.

The only thing he didn’t do was write it – Ankur Tewari was the lyricist. 

Neha joined the three Bs

The subject of this post was the second song from the 2017 film Bhoomi in my collection (from an alphabetical point of view).

It was titled Trippy Trippy.

But if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 34 seconds long.

While Priya Saraiya penned the Sachin-Jigar composition, its rap portion was written by Badshah, who was also one of the three Bs who sang it (Benny Dayal and Brijesh Shandilya being the others).

Neha Kakkar joined them behind the microphone for it.

Raftaar wasn’t JuSt the singer

Shaan released in 1980.

One of the songs in the film was Jaanu Meri Jaan.

The soundtrack of the 2017 film Behen Teri Hogi had a recreated version of the song, which was titled Jaanu.

The original song was penned by Anand Bakshi, and composed by R D Burman.

The former was credited with writing this version with Raftaar, who was also one of the three people who lent their voices to it.

Shivi and Juggy D were the others.

The song – which was four minutes and three seconds long – was recreated by Rishi Rich.

This track wAS a recreation

Phir Subah Hogi released in 1958.

One of its most popular songs was Woh Subah Kabhi Toh Aayegi.

In fact, it was one of the tracks on my playlist containing songs from Hindi films that released between 1950 and 1959.

Sahir Ludhianvi penned the Khayyam composition, to which Asha and Mukesh (Bhos)lent their voices.

A recreated version of the song – titled Woh Subah – featured on the soundtrack of Begum Jaan (2017).

Kausar Munir wrote the Anu Malik composition, which was four minutes and 15 seconds long.

(Arij)It was rendered by Shreya Ghoshal and Mr Singh.

Priya wrote and Sang it

The tagline of A Gentleman, which released in 2017, was Sundar, Susheel, Risky.

My collection contained three songs from the film, including the subject of this post – Baat Ban Jaaye.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and a dozen seconds long.

The involvement of Priya Saraiya wasn’t restricted to writing it, but she was one of the two people who lent their voices to it too.

Siddharth Basrur was the other.

Sachin-Jigar composed it.

Ms Kumar was the Sing(h)er

If the two songs on the soundtrack of Tum Bin 2 (2016) were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the first – it was titled Dekh Lena.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 41 seconds long.

The song, which was penned by Manoj Muntashir Shukla, was composed by Ankit Tiwari.

A couple of people lent their voices to it.

One was Tulsi Kumar.

And the other, of course, was none other than Arijit Singh.

It was sung by Clinton

Te3n released in 2016.

But the number of songs from the film in my collection began with the letter that was replaced by the number 3 in its title – E, which stood for ek (one).

Why is that so?

The reason is the title of the song – Haq Hai (I have every right to include as many songs in my playlist as I want to).

Interestingly, do (two) men collaborated on that song.

One was Clinton Cerejo, who didn’t just compose the song, but sang it too.

And the other was the lyricist, Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Mithoon composed AnD sang it

With the addition of the subject of this post, there were four songs from Ki & Ka in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, said song would be the penultimate one – it was titled Ji Huzoori (a phrase that could be translated to, “Sycophancy”).

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 26 seconds long.

Mithoon composed and sang the song, for which Deepali Sathe and Arun Daga joined him behind the microphone.

Sayeed Quadri penned it.

Mr Shridhar was the (Tul)singer

One of the songs on Stereo Nation’s 2000 album, Slave II Fusion, was Nachange Saari Raat.

Hunterz and the late T S Jarnail (a.k.a. Taz) – who collaborated on the original – were two of the three people who wrote this version.

Kumaar was the third.

The Meet Bros composed the song, which was sung by Tulsi Kumar and Neeraj Shridhar.

If the two tracks from Junooniyat were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and a dozen seconds long.

It was sung by Armaan

It took the Hindi film music scene seven years to go from, “Give me some rain” to, “Make me rain”.

I am talking about a song that was a literal translation of the latter – Mujhko Barsaat Bana Lo.

If the two songs from Junooniyat, which released in 2016, were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 26 seconds long.

The song, which was penned by Rashmi Virag, was composed by Jeet Gannguli, and sung by Armaan Malik.

Soniya sang it with Toshi

I recall listening to Resham Ka Rumaal, a folk song by Ila Arun, in the 1990s, when Indi-pop was not just trendy, but also co-existed with Hindi film music.

In 2016, the song featured on the soundtrack of Great Grand Masti.

That version – which shared its title with the original song – was sung by Soniya Sharma and Toshi Sabri.

The latter composed it with Shaarib Sabri.

The man who wrote the song was Manoj Yadav.

By the way, it was the shortest song in the film – it was three minutes and as many seconds long.

Dadlani lent it his voice

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Dear Zindagi were arranged in the alphabetical order, Let’s Break Up would be the penultimate one.

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

The man who lent his voice to the song was the one and only Vishal Dadlani.

While nobody would like to hear that phrase, almost everyone could relate to the title of that song, which was penned by Kausar Munir.

(Am)It was composed by Mr Trivedi.

(Am)It was sung by Sunidhi

With the addition of this post, and the next one, there were four songs from the 2016 film Dear Zindagi in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Just Go To Hell Dil would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 35 seconds long.

Mr Trivedi didn’t just compose (Am)it, but he was one of the two people who sang it too.

Sunidhi Chauhan was the other.

The song was written by Kausar Munir.

The Meet Bros SanG it

Welcome Back (2015) was the sequel to Welcome (2007).

Spread across my blogs (and from alphabetical point of view), the subject of this post was the second song from the film in my collection – it was titled Tutti Bole Wedding Di (named after an instrument played at said event).

The Meet Bros’ involvement in the song – which was four minutes and 23 seconds long – wasn’t restricted to composing, but they were also two of the three people who sang it.

Shipra Goyal joined them behind the microphone for the song, which was written by Kumaar.

 

 

Amit composed and SANg it

The word ‘sentimental’ can be defined as, “Of, or prompted by, feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia”.

Colloquially, Indians call those who experience those feelings as ‘senti’ people, and refer to someone who is nuts as ‘mental’.

By the way, the longest song on the soundtrack of Shaandaar was titled Senti Wali Mental – it was nine minutes and a couple of seconds long.

(Am)It wasn’t just composed by Trivedi, but he was also one of the four people who sang it.

Neeti Mohan, Arijit Singh, and Swanand Kirkire were the others.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote it.

 

Saba and Siddharth sang it

Earlier in this blog, I had written about Neend Na Mujhko Aaye, from Post Box No. 999.

A recreated version of the track happened to be one of the songs on the soundtrack of Shaandaar.

In fact, if the seven songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was four minutes and 16 seconds long.

Saba Azad and Siddharth Basrur wrote the Amit Trivedi composition, which P L Santoshi wrote.

 

Neeti and Nikhil sang it

If the seven songs on the soundtrack of Shaandaar were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nazdeekiyaan would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 26 seconds long.

Like the title of the song, the first names of the two people who lent their voices to it began with the letter N (Neeti Mohan and Nikhil Paul George).

And the first names of the lyricist and the composer began with A – while it was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Trivedi composed (Am)it.

Rachel and Amit rendered it

Shaandaar released in 2015.

With the addition of this song, and the next three, to my collection, there were seven songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of the durations, Eena Meena Deeka would be the first – it was three minutes and six seconds long.

Rajinder Krishan wrote the recreated version of the song from the 1957 film Aasha.

Trivedi didn’t just compose (Am)it, but lent it his voice too.

Rachel Varghese joined him behind the microphone for the song.

Only Raina’s version was included

The second song from I Love NY in my collection was Gud Naal Ishq Mitha.

As a kid growing up in the 1990s, I remember Bally Sagoo’s version of the song, which ruled the Indi-pop charts back in the day.

But in case of the film version of the song, the traditional lyrics were complemented by Mayur Puri’s lyrics.

Anupal Amod composed the song, which was sung by Tochi Raina.

The song was three minutes and 41 seconds long.

Another version of the song was sung by Sukhwinder Singh. But my collection didn’t include it.
