Suresh Peters’ debut was lifted

Gentleman was a Tamil film that released in 1993.

Its Hindi remake, titled The Gentleman, released in 1994.

Although my collection contained the three A R Rahman compositions from the film, it was a pity that the composer wasn’t credited.

The subject of this post – Chika Pika Rika Boom Bole – was a remake of Chiku Buku Raile, a song from the original.

The Tamil track marked the debut of Suresh Peters, who sang it.

The song, which Rajan Khera wrote, was the longest of the three songs – it was five minutes and 27 seconds long.

Ms Krishnamurthy sang this trAcK

The subject of this post was a song with a personal connection.

It was titled Gilli Bina Aisa Danda, and it was the second song from Mr. Azaad (1994) in my collection.

When I was in the seventh grade, I had an audiotape titled Super Hits ’94, and this happened to be one of the songs on it.

Kavita Krishnamurthy was one of the three people who lent their voices to it.

Kumar Sanu and Arun Bakshi were the others.

The song, which was written by Indeevar, was composed by none other than Bappi Lahiri.

Sanu sang it with Lata

Having referenced a cricket team in the previous post, I would like to point out that Samdhi Samdhan was the number nine for Team HAHK, a.k.a. Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!

While I am still referencing the gentleman’s game, it would not be incorrect to state that as far as contributions to the soundtrack in my collection were concerned, songwriter Ravinder Rawal hit it for a six.

Raamlaxman composed the song, which was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Kumar Sanu.

The only contribution of the latter to the soundtrack was five minutes and 51 seconds long.

It was another Lata-SPB duet

Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994) may have had a sequence in which the film’s cast plays cricket.

But if were a cricket team arranged in the alphabetical order, I just found its number eight – Mujhse Juda Hokar.

By no means would it be surprising to state that the two people who lent their voices to that track were Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

As far as songwriters are concerned, it was Dev Kohli’s fifth contribution to the soundtrack.

The song was composed by Raamlaxman.

It was half-a-dozen minutes and a couple of seconds long.

ThiS(a)number had too many connectionS

Elaan released in 1994.

The second song from the film – alphabetically the first – was Subah Se Lekar Shaam Tak.

Sadhana Sargam and Kumar Sanu teamed up to sing what could be called the first track in ‘Akshay Kumar’s Subah-Shaam Duology of 1994’.

It also happened to be one of the two songs in Sargam’s ‘Subah-Shaam Duology of 1994’.

By the way, they were the female and male voices of the soundtrack, respectively.

The song was written by Rani Malik.

Incidentally, one of the two people who composed it was Shyam.

And the other was Surender.

 

Alka and Udit rendered it

When I decided to compile a list of Hindi film songs that referenced colours, I hadn’t heard the subject of this post.

It was titled Yeh Neeli Peeli Choodiyan.

It was the second song from Ekka Raja Rani in my collection.

One of the two people who lent their voices to it was the one and only Alka Yagnik.

And the other was Udit Narayan.

They were the leading male and female voice on the film’s soundtrack.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

It was SUng by Sarika

Ekka Raja Rani released in 1994.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film.

The first of those was completed Udit Narayan’s ‘Milega Duology of 1994’.

And that was because the title of that track was Ishq Karoge Toh Dard Milega.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by two other singers.

One was Sarika Kapoor.

And the other was the one and only Kumar Sanu.

It could, in fact, be called the second track in the lyricist’s and music directors’ ‘Milega Duology of 1994’ too – Sameer Anjaan wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

(Ud)It was sung by Alka

There were four songs from the 1994 film Dilwale in my collection, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Mauka Milega Toh Hum Bata Denge would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 28 seconds long.

(Ud)it was Mr Narayan’s only contribution to the film’s soundtrack.

Alka Yagnik joined him behind the microphone for it.

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

Alka (Bhos)lent thiS(a)number her voice

Prior to the addition of the subject of this post to my collection, it had three songs from Andaz, which released in 1994.

The fourth was titled Laila Bechari Kya Karti.

If all the tracks from the film in it were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the third.

Two people from the previous song (Bhos)lent their voices to this one as well.

They were Alka Yagnik and Sudesh.

They were joined behind the microphone for it by none other than Kumar Sanu.

Indeevar wrote the song, which was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Alka (Bhos)lent it Her voice

I had a vague memory of the subject of this post – Yeh Kanya Kunwari Hai, the second song from Aag in my collection.

But when I read the names of the three people who (Bhos)lent their voices to it, I wondered what on earth they were thinking when they consented to it.

The only female singer was the one and only Alka Yagnik.

Hariharan and Sudesh joined her behind the microphone for the song.

It was written by Sameer Anjaan.

And the two men who composed it were the Sens, uncle Dilip and nephew Sameer.

Yagnik and Sanu rendered it

When I was compiling a list of songs that inspired the titles of films that released later, my collection did not contain the subject of this post.

It was titled Ankhon Mein Tum Ho.

It was one of the two songs from Aag, which released in 1994, in my collection, and it was sung by Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.

The song was written by Sameer Anjaan

And it was composed by Dilip Sen and the lyricist’s namesake, Sameer Sen.

By the way, the song inspired the title of a film that released in 1997.
