Papon and Altamash rendered it

If the three tracks on the soundtrack of India’s Most Wanted were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you please), Vande Mataram would be the second – it was three minutes and 42 seconds long.

There is no two ways about the fact that it was appropriate, because the word centre is synonymous with middle, and the song is India’s national song.

The two men who sang it were Papon and Altamash Faridi.

Amitabh Bhattacharya penned the song.

(Am)It was composed by Trivedi.

Mr Negi sang this soNG

I skipped the longest song on the soundtrack of India’s Most Wanted*, but I included the shortest one – Dilbar Jani, which was three minutes and 10 seconds long.

Nikhita Gandhi and Dev Negi lent their voices to that track.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by the one and only Amit Trivedi.

(*Note: It was title Matvaare, and it was four minutes and 14 seconds long. Sanah Moidutty and Jubin Nautiyal sang it. I am still not sure how I can fit that track in if I decide to include it.)

It was an Abhijeet solo

My collection contained three songs from India’s Most Wanted, which released in 2019.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the descending order of their durations, Akela would be the first – it was four minutes and a second long.

How appropriate was the fact that the song, whose title could be translated to, “Alone”, was the only solo on the soundtrack of the film?

The man who lent his voice to it was Abhijeet Srivastava.

The song, which was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by none other than Amit Trivedi.

This version wasn’t worth (Mon)alisten

Fu Bai Fu is a popular Marathi song, whose Hindi version featured on the soundtrack of Fanney Khan (2018).

With the addition of that song, and the next one, to my collection, there were four tracks from the film in my playlist.

All of those were recreations, and this, from an alphabetical point of view, was the second.

If they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, the run-of-the-mill song, sung by Monali Thakur, would be the first – it was four minutes and 37 seconds long.

Irshad Kamil penned the Amit Trivedi composition.

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.

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.

It was (Kirki)rendered by Swanand

Lootera released in 2013.

There were three songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Monta Re would be the second.

The song – which was influenced by the Baul musical tradition of West Bengal – was (Kirki)rendered by Swanand (whose fellow lyricist, Amitabh Bhattacharya, penned it).

Trivedi composed (Am)it.

It was the only song in the film that was under the four-minute mark – it was three minutes and 58 seconds long.

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

Trivedi composed and sang (Am)it

Dev.D released in 2009.

There were four songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nayan Tarse would be the penultimate one.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the last – it was three minutes and nine seconds long.

The contribution of Amit Trivedi to the song was not restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it as well.

The only thing he did not do was write the song – its lyrics were credited to Amitabh Bhattacharya. 

Arivu joined Neeti and Vishal

As long as I can remember, I have preferred listening to the radio to watching television. And one of the former taglines of a popular Ind...
