Amit (Bhos)lent it his voice

Kohram released in 1999.

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

It was titled Hum Hain Banaras Ke Bhaiya.

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

I remembered the song despite having no other connection with the city in Uttar Pradesh, barring the fact that a couple of my mates hailed from there.

The two men who (Bhos)lent (Am)it their voices were Mr Kumar and Sudesh.

The song, which was written by Dev Kohli, was composed by Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen. 

This was the title trAcK

My collection contains a couple of songs from Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, which released in 1993.

They included the subject of this post.

It was one of the two versions of its title track* – Tu Roop Ki Rani Main Choron Ka Raja.

The two people who lent their voices to (Am)it were Kavita Krishnamurthy and Mr Kumar.

Javed Akhtar wrote the song, which Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma composed.

(*Note: The other version was the rap version of Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. Suneeta Rao and Bali Brahmbhatt sang it.)

(Am)It was rendered by Anuradha

Yaadon Ke Mausam released in 1990.

The film was produced and directed by Salahuddin Parvez.

He also wrote the screenplay and the songs.

Speaking of the latter, my collection contained just one of them.

It was titled Ik Chand Ko Hum Bhi Dekhenge.

Two people lent their voices to the song.

One was Anuradha Paudwal.

And the other was Amit Kumar.

While on two, it must be mentioned that that was the number of men who composed the song.

And they happened to be brothers.

The siblings in question are the Srivastavs, Anand and Milind.

(Am)It was sung by Sapna

Aika and Suno are Marathi and Hindi for ‘listen’, respectively.

A portmanteau of those words was Aiko.

It was the first of the two words in the only song from Muqaddar Ka Badshaah (1990) in my collection.

The other was Haina, which is Hindi for ‘Isn’t it?’

The version of the song, which was five minutes long, was a duet – (Am)it was rendered by Sapna Mukherjee and Mr Kumar.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Viju Shah.

The other version – which was sung by Kumar – was a minute and 50 seconds long.  

(Am)It was sung by Lata

Lovers was a 1983 film, starring Kumar Gaurav.

My collection contained just one song from it.

It was titled Zamane Mein Sabse Purani.

Amit Kumar was chosen to be Kumar Gaurav’s voice in the latter’s debut (Love Story, which released in 1981).

He was, however, one of the two people who lent their voices to the song from Lovers.

The other was the one and only Lata Mangeshkar.

The song, which Anand Bakshi penned, was composed by R D Burman.

But that team was unable to recreate the magic the songs of that film created.

The father-son duo (Kisho)rendered (Am)it

Baba is not just a term of endearment, but it is also the Bengali word for ‘father’.

And the latter happened to be the word Amit Kumar used to address his father, the legendary Kishore Kumar.

This inimitable baap-beta jodi collaborated on a song titled Ja Jaldi Bhaag Ja.

The next three words of its opening line went, “Nahin baba na”.

It was the fourth song from Desh Premee in my collection.

The film released in 1982.

The song was penned by Anand Bakshi.

It was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.
