Ms Kumar was the Sing(h)er

If the two songs on the soundtrack of Tum Bin 2 (2016) were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the first – it was titled Dekh Lena.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 41 seconds long.

The song, which was penned by Manoj Muntashir Shukla, was composed by Ankit Tiwari.

A couple of people lent their voices to it.

One was Tulsi Kumar.

And the other, of course, was none other than Arijit Singh.

It was sung by Clinton

Te3n released in 2016.

But the number of songs from the film in my collection began with the letter that was replaced by the number 3 in its title – E, which stood for ek (one).

Why is that so?

The reason is the title of the song – Haq Hai (I have every right to include as many songs in my playlist as I want to).

Interestingly, do (two) men collaborated on that song.

One was Clinton Cerejo, who didn’t just compose the song, but sang it too.

And the other was the lyricist, Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Mithoon composed AnD sang it

With the addition of the subject of this post, there were four songs from Ki & Ka in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, said song would be the penultimate one – it was titled Ji Huzoori (a phrase that could be translated to, “Sycophancy”).

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 26 seconds long.

Mithoon composed and sang the song, for which Deepali Sathe and Arun Daga joined him behind the microphone.

Sayeed Quadri penned it.

Mr Shridhar was the (Tul)singer

One of the songs on Stereo Nation’s 2000 album, Slave II Fusion, was Nachange Saari Raat.

Hunterz and the late T S Jarnail (a.k.a. Taz) – who collaborated on the original – were two of the three people who wrote this version.

Kumaar was the third.

The Meet Bros composed the song, which was sung by Tulsi Kumar and Neeraj Shridhar.

If the two tracks from Junooniyat were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and a dozen seconds long.

It was sung by Armaan

It took the Hindi film music scene seven years to go from, “Give me some rain” to, “Make me rain”.

I am talking about a song that was a literal translation of the latter – Mujhko Barsaat Bana Lo.

If the two songs from Junooniyat, which released in 2016, were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 26 seconds long.

The song, which was penned by Rashmi Virag, was composed by Jeet Gannguli, and sung by Armaan Malik.

Soniya sang it with Toshi

I recall listening to Resham Ka Rumaal, a folk song by Ila Arun, in the 1990s, when Indi-pop was not just trendy, but also co-existed with Hindi film music.

In 2016, the song featured on the soundtrack of Great Grand Masti.

That version – which shared its title with the original song – was sung by Soniya Sharma and Toshi Sabri.

The latter composed it with Shaarib Sabri.

The man who wrote the song was Manoj Yadav.

By the way, it was the shortest song in the film – it was three minutes and as many seconds long.

Dadlani lent it his voice

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Dear Zindagi were arranged in the alphabetical order, Let’s Break Up would be the penultimate one.

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

The man who lent his voice to the song was the one and only Vishal Dadlani.

While nobody would like to hear that phrase, almost everyone could relate to the title of that song, which was penned by Kausar Munir.

(Am)It was composed by Mr Trivedi.

(Am)It was sung by Sunidhi

With the addition of this post, and the next one, there were four songs from the 2016 film Dear Zindagi in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Just Go To Hell Dil 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 35 seconds long.

Mr Trivedi didn’t just compose (Am)it, but he was one of the two people who sang it too.

Sunidhi Chauhan was the other.

The song was written by Kausar Munir.
