The Meet Bros SanG it

Welcome Back (2015) was the sequel to Welcome (2007).

Spread across my blogs (and from alphabetical point of view), the subject of this post was the second song from the film in my collection – it was titled Tutti Bole Wedding Di (named after an instrument played at said event).

The Meet Bros’ involvement in the song – which was four minutes and 23 seconds long – wasn’t restricted to composing, but they were also two of the three people who sang it.

Shipra Goyal joined them behind the microphone for the song, which was written by Kumaar.

 

 

Amit composed and SANg it

The word ‘sentimental’ can be defined as, “Of, or prompted by, feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia”.

Colloquially, Indians call those who experience those feelings as ‘senti’ people, and refer to someone who is nuts as ‘mental’.

By the way, the longest song on the soundtrack of Shaandaar was titled Senti Wali Mental – it was nine minutes and a couple of seconds long.

(Am)It wasn’t just composed by Trivedi, but he was also one of the four people who sang it.

Neeti Mohan, Arijit Singh, and Swanand Kirkire were the others.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote it.

 

Saba and Siddharth sang it

Earlier in this blog, I had written about Neend Na Mujhko Aaye, from Post Box No. 999.

A recreated version of the track happened to be one of the songs on the soundtrack of Shaandaar.

In fact, if the seven songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was four minutes and 16 seconds long.

Saba Azad and Siddharth Basrur wrote the Amit Trivedi composition, which P L Santoshi wrote.

 

Neeti and Nikhil sang it

If the seven songs on the soundtrack of Shaandaar were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nazdeekiyaan would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 26 seconds long.

Like the title of the song, the first names of the two people who lent their voices to it began with the letter N (Neeti Mohan and Nikhil Paul George).

And the first names of the lyricist and the composer began with A – while it was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Trivedi composed (Am)it.

Rachel and Amit rendered it

Shaandaar released in 2015.

With the addition of this song, and the next three, to my collection, there were seven songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of the durations, Eena Meena Deeka would be the first – it was three minutes and six seconds long.

Rajinder Krishan wrote the recreated version of the song from the 1957 film Aasha.

Trivedi didn’t just compose (Am)it, but lent it his voice too.

Rachel Varghese joined him behind the microphone for the song.

Only Raina’s version was included

The second song from I Love NY in my collection was Gud Naal Ishq Mitha.

As a kid growing up in the 1990s, I remember Bally Sagoo’s version of the song, which ruled the Indi-pop charts back in the day.

But in case of the film version of the song, the traditional lyrics were complemented by Mayur Puri’s lyrics.

Anupal Amod composed the song, which was sung by Tochi Raina.

The song was three minutes and 41 seconds long.

Another version of the song was sung by Sukhwinder Singh. But my collection didn’t include it.

Mauli sang this RecreateD track

I Love NY – a long-delayed film – released in 2015.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the recreated version of R D Burman’s composition, Aaja Meri Jaan (the title track of the 1993 film of that name) would be the first.

DJ Phukan was credited with composing this version, which was sung by Mauli Dave, a contestant on Zee TV’s reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007.

The song – which was five minutes and 14 seconds long – was written by Mayur Puri.

Mamta was the right choice

At the time of writing this post, it was election time in India.

And many people consider politics dirty.

In 2015, a film titled Dirty Politics released.

My collection contained just one song from that film.

It was titled Ghaghara.

Mamta Sharma sang that song. Only she could have done it justice.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Sanjeev-Darshan.

It was four minutes and 25 seconds long.

By the way, that song had nothing to do with Ila Arun’s Vote for Ghaghra, an Indi-pop song that released in the 1990s.
