This was a Nigam solo

Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein released in 2001.

The soundtrack of the film had a couple of title tracks.

While one, obviously, was Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, the other was titled Kaise Main Kahoon Tujhse.

But my collection contained just one of those – the latter, which was sung by Sonu Nigam.

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 just a minute and four seconds long.

The song, which Sameer Anjaan wrote, was composed by Harris Jayaraj.

It was a KK solo

If the five songs from Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai were arranged in the alphabetical order, Pyaar Re – the second song from the film on this blog – would be the penultimate one.

It was sung by KK, who happened to be one of the three male voices of the soundtrack, because he also lent his voice to its title track*.

The man who wrote it was none other than Sameer Anjaan.

And the one who composed it was Anu Malik.

(*Note: That song – which also happened to be a KK solo – was not in my collection.)

Alka and Babul sang it

This playlist contains a couple of songs from Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai, which released in 2001.

That takes the number of songs from the film in my collection to five.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jabse Dekha Hai would be the second.

Alka Yagnik and Babul Supriyo were the two people who lent their voices to it.

While the former was the female voice of the soundtrack, the latter was one of its male voices.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by the one and only Anu Malik. 

Preeti Uttam Singh sang (Ud)it

Gadar: Ek Prem Katha completed the trilogy of 2001 films whose titles were followed by a tagline on this playlist.

There were three songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Musafir Jaane Wale 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 47 seconds long.

Preeti Uttam Singh and Mr Narayan lent their voices to (Ud)it.

The former’s father, Uttam Singh, composed the song, which was penned by Anand Bakshi.

ThiS(a)number was rendered by Yagnik

Ek Rishtaa completed the 2001 Duology of Hindi films whose titles had English taglines – the next four words in its title were The Bond of Love.

And even the title of the only song from the film began with the word Ek.

The next two words of the title of that track were Dil Hai.

The two people who lent their voices to it were Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu (who were the voices of the soundtrack).

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

Ms Yagnik’s talent was hidden

The tagline of Chhupa Rustam – which released in 2001 – was A Musical Thriller.

My collection contained just one song from the film – its title track, Tu Nikla Chhupa Rustam.

The lady who lent her voice to it was Alka Yagnik (whose talent wasn’t hidden).

She was the voice of the soundtrack.

Two people associated with the song happened to share a first name (Anand) – one was the songwriter, Bakshi, and the other was one half of the composer duo, Srivastava.

The other was the latter’s brother, Milind.

But it gave no one any ‘Anand’ (joy).

It wasn’t An (Ud)‘item’ number

Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya – which released in 2001 – was a film a friend and I ‘accidentally’ watched at a cinema hall.

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

If they were arranged in the alphabetical number, Chori Chori Tera Chalna would be the second.

The two people who lent their voices to (Ud)it were Alka Yagnik and Mr Narayan.

Sudhakar Sharma wrote the song, which was composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

Inexplicably, it described everything about the pair on whom it was picturised as ‘items’.
