Richa sang it with Kunal

My collection contained a couple of songs from Run, which released in 2004*.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nahin Hona Nahin Hona would be the second.

The two people who lent their voices to the song were Richa Sharma and Kunal Ganjawala.

It happened to be their only contribution to the film’s soundtrack.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the Himesh Reshammiya composition.

(*Note: I remember watching this film on what was then called a ‘video coach’ – a private bus that plied between cities, and had a television. I was travelling from Mumbai to Pune.)

Sanjay wAS Among the singers

Plan released in 2004.

If the two songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Aim Kaim would be the first.

The involvement of Anand Raaj Anand in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the four people who lent their voices to it*.

The others were Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Shaan, and Sanjay Dutt.

No prizes for guessing that Dutt top-lined the cast of the film.

Dev Kohli penned it.

(*Note: Interestingly, Anand Raaj Anand was one of the male voices of the soundtrack.)

Veronica and Juggy sang it

U ‘n’ I may have had a (colloquial) English title, but it also went by the Hindi/Punjabi title, Mere Dil Vich Hum Tum.

Therefore, it was not just the second title track of the film, but it was also the shortest of the six songs from it in my collection – it was three minutes and 38 seconds long.

Londoners Veronica Mehta and Juggy D sang the song, which was written by Prasoon Joshi.

It was the only song in the film that Jatin-Lalit did not compose – it was composed by the British-Indian producer Rishi Rich.

(Ud)It was An inspired inspiration

My collection contained six songs from Hum Tum (2004).

These included the two on this playlist.

One of those was Yaara Yaara.

(Ud)It was sung by Alka Yagnik and Mr Narayan.

Prasoon Joshi sang the song, which was composed by Jatin-Lalit, and was four minutes and 44 seconds long.

Incidentally, that song was deleted from the film.

But it was used in Chanda Chamke, a song from Kunal Kohli’s (the director of the film) next film, Fanaa (which released in 2006).

It was inspired by Samra We Betha, a song by the Iraqi band Miami. 

Alka S(ha)ang this inspired song

There were a couple of songs from the 2004 film Hulchul in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Ishq Mein Pyaar Mein would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 17 seconds long.

Alka Yagnik and Shaan sang it.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Vidyasagar.

It was inspired by Thaamara Poovukku, a song from the Tamil film Pasumpon, which released in 1995.

Vidyasagar had composed that song as well.

Unfortunately, it was a (Sunid)hit

I watched Aan: Men at Work (2004) at a cinema hall in Mumbai, where I was holidaying upon completing my graduation, and before taking the entrance exam to my journalism course.

If the two songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nasha Nasha would be the second.

The song, which was not a hit, marked the big-screen debut of Gauahar Khan.

And it happened to be the only contribution of Sunidhi Chauhan to the soundtrack of the film.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Anu Malik.
