Three SingerS sang this tracK

The second song from Yeh Saali Zindagi (2011) in my collection was its title track, which was five minutes and a second long.

Sunidhi Chauhan, Shilpa Rao, and Kunal Ganjawala lent it their voices.

Swanand Kirkire wrote the Abhishek Ray composition.

There were two other versions of the song, which weren’t in my collection.

One was titled the Bonus Song. It was sung by Ray, and was three minutes and 28 seconds long.

And the other was the Female Version.

It was a second longer than the original, and obviously, Ganjawala wasn’t involved in it.

 

It was a Krsna Solo

Tanu Weds Manu – the first film in the series of that film – released in 2011.

There were four songs from it in my collection.

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

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was six minutes and a dozen seconds long.

Krsna Solo’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it too.

It was written by Raj Shekhar.

I hadn’t heard the Wadali Brothers’ version.

 

 

(Ank)It was sung by Aneja

Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster – the first installment of that film series (whose title was inspired by Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam) – released in 2011.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Saheb Bada Hathila.

Tiwari’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing (Ank)it, but he sang it too.

Vipin Aneja was the other.

Sandeep Nath wrote that track, which I first heard on the radio (and I had to look up online to find out more about it).

By the way, the song was five minutes and 58 seconds long.


Sidd Coutto renDereD this tracKK

My collection contains a couple of songs from the 2011 film Pyaar Ka Punchnama, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the second – it was titled Life Sahi Hai (colloquially, ‘Life is great’).

Four men lent their voices to that track.

Benny Dayal, KK, and Vishal Dadlani were joined behind the microphone for it by the indie artist, Sidd Coutto.

The song was written by Luv Ranjan (who also happened to be the writer and director of the film).

It was composed by Clinton Cerejo.

  

Hard Kaur was the Sing(h)er

Seldom does the title track of a film end up becoming its review.

But that happened in 2011.

The film – and the song – in question was F.A.L.T.U.

It was the second song from the film in my collection.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that Hard Kaur was the female voice of the soundtrack.

And she was one of the two people who lent their voices to that track.

The other was the one and only Mika Singh.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya.

Sukhwinder was just the Sing(h)er

Chalo Dilli released in 2011.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Matargashtiyan would be the second – it was four minutes and 47 seconds long.

The involvement of Anand Raaj Anand in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he penned it as well.

If he had his way, he would probably have lent his voice to it as well.

But he did not – the Sing(h)er was the one and only Sukhwinder.

It was sung by Bhardwaj

There were a couple of songs from 7 Khoon Maaf (which released in 2011) in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Bekaraan would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 25 seconds long.

The involvement of Vishal Bhardwaj in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it as well.

No prizes for guessing that one of the two men who penned it was Gulzar.

Javed Sheikh shared writing credits with him for it.

Arivu joined Neeti and Vishal

As long as I can remember, I have preferred listening to the radio to watching television. And one of the former taglines of a popular Ind...
