Mr Khan did no ‘Kamaal’

Na Tum Jaano Na Hum was a song from Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), which marked Hrithik Roshan’s debut as a leading man.

It inspired the title of a 2002 film, which, incidentally, starred him.

My collection contained two songs from that film, including the subject of that post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the descending order of their durations, Tum Meri Baahon Mein Aa Na Sake would be the second – it was five minutes and 53 seconds long.

Kamaal Khan sang the Rajesh Roshan composition, which Anand Bakshi penned.

Alka and Babul rendered it

Every Hindi film music buff has heard Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, the song from Rocky, which released in 1981.

The song inspired the title of a film that released in 2002.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Meri Tarah Tum Bhi.

The song, which was four minutes and 56 seconds long, was Babul Supriyo’s only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by the one and only Alka Yagnik.

The song, which was written by Jalees Rashid, was composed by Sajid-Wajid.

Three playBAcK singers rendered this

I really do not know what I was thinking when I accompanied an acquaintance to the cinema hall to watch Jeena Sirf Merre Liye, which released in 2002.

However, all I remembered when I was compiling this playlist was one song from the film.

It happened to be the title track of the film.

While one of the three people who lent it their voices was Babul Supriyo, the duo who joined him behind the microphone for it were Alka Yagnik and Kavita Krishnamurthy.

The song was written by Sameer Anjaan, and composed by Nadeem-Shravan.

It was another Yagnik-Supriyo duet

There were a couple of things in common between the subject of the previous post and that of this one.

Firstly, both were from films that released in 2002.

And secondly, they were composed by Anand Raaj Anand.

But what is more interesting are the four differences between them.

Firstly, it was titled Humne Tumko Dil Yeh De Diya.

Secondly, it was the only song from Gunaah in my collection.

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

And lastly, the track was penned by Praveen Bhardwaj.

Anand wASn’t just the composer

Some people will literally make a song and dance about Indian-made foreign liquor (abbreviated to IMFL).

And that is precisely what the team behind the music of Annarth (2002) did in what was, alphabetically, the second song from the film in my collection.

It was titled Whisky Pila De.

The involvement of Anand Raaj Anand in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the three people who lent their voices to it.

Sadhana Sargam and Abhijeet Bhattacharya were the others.

The man who penned the song was Dev Kohli.
