Alokananda and Ronkini sang it

The other short film segment in Ajeeb Daastaans that had a song was Geeli Pucchi, which was directed by Neeraj Ghaywan.

The song in question was Sang Rehna.

If the three songs on the soundtrack of the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the last.

But if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was two minutes and 42 seconds long.

Alokananda Dasgupta didn’t just compose it, but she also teamed up with Ronkini Gupta to render it.

Varun Grover penned it.

 

Jahnavi joined John and Shashank

If Mohra (1994), and anthology films had a love child, it would be called Paani Mein Aag.

It was a track from Majnu, one of the four shorts that made Ajeeb Daastaans up.

It was directed by Shashank Khaitan.

His involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to penning it, but he was also one of the three people who sang it.

Jahnavi Kejriwal and John Stewart Eduri, who composed the song, joined him behind the microphone for it.

It was the shortest track in the film – it was just two minutes and 15 seconds long.

Mr Barve was the all-rounder

Dil Apna Aur Preet Parai was a 1960 film.

The most popular song on its soundtrack was Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh.

Its first two words ‘inspired’ the title of a 2021 film.

However, there were two differences between that song and the film’s title.

Firstly, the second word in the latter was spelled with an extra A (in other words, it was Daastaan).

And secondly, the italicised word in the aforementioned sentence was pluralised (therefore, it was Dasstaans).

Shailendra Barve composed, penned, and sang its title track, which was two minutes and 38 seconds long.
