Pramila and Anup Joined Anuradha

Saugandh released in 1991.

It marked the debut of Shantipriya in Hindi films and that of Akshay Kumar as a leading man.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Haar Gaya Dil Fariyaad Karke.

Three singers teamed up to sing the song.

Two of them were ladies – Anuradha Paudwal and Pramila.

And the only male singer was one who is usually associated with bhajans.

I am referring to Anup Jalota. 

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Anand-Milind.

It was five minutes and 26 seconds long.

There were two interchangeaBLe words

Before I added this song to my collection, there were a couple of songs from Patthar Ke Phool, which released in 1991.

The subject of this post was the third track from that film.

It was titled Deewana Dil Bin Sajna Ke Maane Na.

The words Deewana and Dil were interchanged from the song from Maine Pyar Kiya (1991).

It had two things in common with the other tracks from Patthar Ke Phool – Raamlaxman composed the song, which was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

The difference was Dev Kohli penned the song.

It was rendered by Sukhwinder

There is no two ways about the fact that 1991 marked the turning point in Sukhwinder’s life – the Sing(h)er lent his voice to a few songs from Saudagar, and the subject of this post.

The latter was titled Beqadron Se Kar Ke Pyaar.

It was the only song from Nachnewaale Gaanewaale in my collection.

In the 1980s and the 1990s, there was just one music director credited with composing songs from films whose titles referenced dancing.

The man in question was the one and only Bappi Lahiri.

And that song was written by Mahendra Dehlvi.  

Paudwal rendered this recreated track

Though I knew Mera Laung Gawacha was recreated by Bally Sagoo, I was today years old when I read that it was a recreation of Pakistani singer Musarrat Nazir’s song of the same name.

The song, without which no Punjabi wedding is complete, appeared on the British DJ’s album Star Crazy.

And a Hindi film version of it featured on the soundtrack of Naag Mani.

Both of them released in 1991.

The lady who lent the latter her voice was Anuradha Paudwal.

The song, which was written by Dev Kohli, was composed by Anu Malik.  

This was an Anuradha-SPB duet

The second song from Jeena Teri Gali Mein on this playlist had three things in common with the subject of the previous one.

Firstly, from an alphabetical point of view, it also began with the letter J – it happened to be the title track of the film.

Secondly, the song was written by Ravinder Rawal, and was composed by Babul Bose.

And thirdly, Anuradha Paudwal was one of the two people who lent her voices to the song.

The man who joined her behind the microphone for it was none other than S P Balasubrahmanyam.

Nitin sang it with Anuradha

Before I added the subject of this post, and that of the next one, to my collection, it contained just one song from Jeena Teri Gali Mein (1991).

If the three tracks from the film in it were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jaate Ho Pardes Piya would be the first.

All the songs in the film were duets.

And Anuradha Paudwal happened to lend her voice to each of those.

For that track, she was joined behind the microphone by Nitin Mukesh.

It was written by Ravinder Rawal, and was composed by Babul Bose.

This was another Lata-SPB duet

When I was compiling my playlist about Birds in Hindi Film Songs, I included Kabootar Ja Ja Ja, which was from the 1989 film Maine Pyar Kiya, and was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

They lent their voices to another song that referenced a bird and was from a film that released a couple of years later.

It was titled Tota Tota Sajan Se Kehna.

And it happened to be the second song from First Love Letter in my collection.

The track, which was written by Anjaan, was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Lata and SPB rendered it

First Love Letter, which starred Manisha Koirala and Vivek Mushran, released just over a month after Saudagar, the 1991 film that marked the pair’s debut.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film.

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

The two people who lent the song their voices were Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

The latter was the only male singer to feature on the soundtrack of the film.

While the song was penned by Anjaan, the man who composed it was Bappi Lahiri.

Alka’s title track became popular

Banjaran released in 1991.

There was just one song from the film in my collection.

And that was its title track, Teri Banjaran Rasta Dekhe.

That line could be translated to, “A female gypsy is waiting for you”.

The song was sung by the one and only Alka Yagnik.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to call her the voice of the soundtrack, because she lent her voice to three songs (of which a couple were duets).

It was penned by Anand Bakshi.

The two men who composed it were Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Kudalkar.

Anuradha (Mun)nailed this title track

My collection contained one song from Aayee Milan Ki Raat, which released in 1991.

And it happened to be the title track of the film.

The first six words of the line went, “Kitne Dinon Ke Baad Hai Aayee”.

While they were followed by the word Sajna, the three that followed it were Milan Ki Raat.

The two people who lent their voices to the song were Anuradha Paudwal and Mohammed Aziz (popularly known as Munna).

It was written by Sameer Anjaan.

The two men who composed the song were the Srivastavs, Anand and Milind.
