This RFAK solo was insipid

Son of Sardaar released in 2012.

My collection contains four songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Bichdann would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was five minutes and 21 seconds long.

That Rahat Fateh Ali Khan solo proved that he could do insipid songs justice.

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Himesh Reshammiya.

The Reprise version of the song was just a couple of minutes and 11 seconds long.

Neeraj rendered this title track

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi released in 2012.

Given the fact that the film was produced and written by Sanjay Leela Bhansali (who had a fantastic ear for music, and was a noted music director himself), the soundtrack was rather weak.

In fact, my collection contained just one song from the film, whose colloquial title means, ‘Shirin and Farhad got lucky’.

And that happened to be its title track.

The man who lent his voice to the song was Neeraj Shridhar.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by Jeet Gannguli.

 

Ms Ghoshal S(ha)ang this song

Housefull 2 released in 2012.

My collection contained three songs from the film, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the (Ghosh)alphabetical order, Do U Know? 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 22 seconds long.

Shreya and Shaan were the two people who lent the song their voices.

It was written by Sameer Anjaan, and composed by Sajid-Wajid.

The remixed version of the song was four seconds shorter than the original.

 

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a (Sunid)hit

My collection contained just one song from Chakravyuh, which released in 2012.

It was titled Kunda Khol.

The word that followed the title of the song – which translated to, “Open the latch” – was Fakeera.

The song – which was picturised on actor Sameera Reddy – was up the alley of Sunidhi Chauhan, who happened to be the voice of the soundtrack.

But it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that it didn’t fare as well as the other item numbers to which she has lent her voice.

Ashish Sahu wrote the song, which was composed by Sandesh Shandilya.

 

Dr Zeus sang this song

Dr Zeus is the stage name of Baljit Singh Padam, who shot to fame with his song, Kangna, in 2003.

In 2012, a recreated version of that track featured on the soundtrack of Chaar Din Ki Chandni.

The man who penned the song was Sandeep Shrivastava.

It was three minutes and 32 seconds long, and was composed by Lumber.

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

Alphabetically, it was the second of those.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first.

Mr Singh rendered this trAcK

If the five songs on the soundtrack of the 2012 film Agneepath were arranged in the alphabetical order, Shah Ka Rutba would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was five minutes and 23 seconds long.

Sukhwinder Singh, Anand Raaj Anand, and Krishna Beura lent their voices to the song.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by the Gogavale brothers (Ajay-Atul).

It was nominated in the 2013 Mirchi Music Awards in the ‘Song Representing Sufi Tradition’ category.
