Chaitally and Prem JoineD Divya

My collection contained a couple of songs from Super 30, which released in 2019.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, the subject of this post would be the first – it was, interestingly, titled Basanti No Dance, and it was five minutes and four seconds long.

Divya Kumar was the best-known of the four people who sang it. The others were Chaitally Parmar, Janardan Dhatrak, and Prem Areni.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the Ajay-Atul composition, which may have left Sholay and Hema Malini fans disappointed.

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.

 

 

 

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

Neeraj rendered this title track

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi released in 2012.

Given the fact that the film was produced and written by Sanjay Leela Bhansali (who had a fantastic ear for music, and was a noted music director himself), the soundtrack was rather weak.

In fact, my collection contained just one song from the film, whose colloquial title means, ‘Shirin and Farhad got lucky’.

And that happened to be its title track.

The man who lent his voice to the song was Neeraj Shridhar.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by Jeet Gannguli.

 

Mr Singh rendered this trAcK

If the five songs on the soundtrack of the 2012 film Agneepath were arranged in the alphabetical order, Shah Ka Rutba would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was five minutes and 23 seconds long.

Sukhwinder Singh, Anand Raaj Anand, and Krishna Beura lent their voices to the song.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by the Gogavale brothers (Ajay-Atul).

It was nominated in the 2013 Mirchi Music Awards in the ‘Song Representing Sufi Tradition’ category.

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.
