Raftaar wasn’t JuSt the singer

Shaan released in 1980.

One of the songs in the film was Jaanu Meri Jaan.

The soundtrack of the 2017 film Behen Teri Hogi had a recreated version of the song, which was titled Jaanu.

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

The former was credited with writing this version with Raftaar, who was also one of the three people who lent their voices to it.

Shivi and Juggy D were the others.

The song – which was four minutes and three seconds long – was recreated by Rishi Rich.

Mr Khan did no ‘Kamaal’

Na Tum Jaano Na Hum was a song from Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), which marked Hrithik Roshan’s debut as a leading man.

It inspired the title of a 2002 film, which, incidentally, starred him.

My collection contained two songs from that film, including the subject of that post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the descending order of their durations, Tum Meri Baahon Mein Aa Na Sake would be the second – it was five minutes and 53 seconds long.

Kamaal Khan sang the Rajesh Roshan composition, which Anand Bakshi penned.

Preeti Uttam Singh sang (Ud)it

Gadar: Ek Prem Katha completed the trilogy of 2001 films whose titles were followed by a tagline on this playlist.

There were three songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Musafir Jaane Wale 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 47 seconds long.

Preeti Uttam Singh and Mr Narayan lent their voices to (Ud)it.

The former’s father, Uttam Singh, composed the song, which was penned by Anand Bakshi.

Ms Yagnik’s talent was hidden

The tagline of Chhupa Rustam – which released in 2001 – was A Musical Thriller.

My collection contained just one song from the film – its title track, Tu Nikla Chhupa Rustam.

The lady who lent her voice to it was Alka Yagnik (whose talent wasn’t hidden).

She was the voice of the soundtrack.

Two people associated with the song happened to share a first name (Anand) – one was the songwriter, Bakshi, and the other was one half of the composer duo, Srivastava.

The other was the latter’s brother, Milind.

But it gave no one any ‘Anand’ (joy).

Jaspinder and Sukhwinder sang (Ud)it

My collection contained just one song from Hindustan Ki Kasam, which released in 1999.

It was titled Jalwa Jalwa.

Three singers lent their voices to the song.

One of them were Jaspinder Narula. It happened to be her only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

The involvement of Sukhwinder in the song wasn’t restricted to Sing(h)ing it, but he composed it too.

The man who joined them behind the microphone for (Ud)it was the one and only Mr Narayan.

The song, which was written by Anand Bakshi, was five minutes and 52 seconds long. 

Ms Yagnik sang this song

The second song on this playlist was from Arzoo (1950).

And the subject of this post was the second song from Aarzoo, which released in 1999.

It was titled Saajan Saajan Teri Dulhan.

If both the songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was seven minutes and 20 seconds long.

The only female solo on the film’s soundtrack, it was sung by none other than Alka Yagnik.

The song, which was penned by Anand Bakshi, was written by Anu Malik.

It was sUNg by Sargam

When I compiled my playlist containing Hindi film songs that referenced birds, I had not heard the subject of this post.

It was titled Dil Junglee Kabootar.

And it was the only song from Qahar (1997) in my collection.

On one hand, I was trying to wrap my head around the reason a person would liken his heart to a wild pigeon.

And on the other, I was looking up the lyricist’s name – by the way, it was Anand Bakshi.

The song, which was written by Anand-Milind, was sung by Sadhana Sargam and Udit Narayan.

Kumar Sanu sang this trAcK

If the six songs from Gupt: The Hidden Truth in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Yeh Pyaar Kya Hai would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 34 seconds long.

While Alka Yagnik and Kavita Krishnamurthy were the two ladies who lent their voices to the song, the man who joined them behind the microphone for it was none other than Kumar Sanu.

Anand Bakshi penned the song, which was composed by Viju Shah.

Sargam sang this UNderrated song

This is the second of the three Viju Shah compositions from films that released in 1997 on this playlist.

And it was one of the two songs from Gupt: The Hidden Truth on it.

If the six songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Mere Sanam Tujhko would the fourth – it was five minutes and 48 seconds long.

There is no two ways about the fact that that song, which Anand Bakshi penned, was underrated.

Sadhana Sargam and Mr Narayan sang (Ud)it.

(Ud)It was rendered by Yagnik

Tere Mere Sapne released in 1996.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Mera Dil Gaya would be the third of the four songs from the film in my collection.

It was the only contribution of Alka Yagnik to the soundtrack of the film.

She was joined behind the microphone by none other than Udit Narayan, who happened to be the voice of the soundtrack.

The song was written by Anand Bakshi.

It was composed by Viju Shah, who, incidentally, composed 30% of the tracks from films that released in 1997 on this playlist.

This title track becAMe popular

Like the subject of the previous post, the subject of this one was a song from an Ajay Devgn-starrer that released in 1996.

The film was Jaan.

And the song in question was the title track of the film, Jaan O Meri Jaan.

The lady who lent her voice to it was the one and only Alka Yagnik.

And that was no surprise, because she was the voice of the soundtrack.

She was joined behind the microphone for it by Manhar Udhas.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which became popular.

It was composed by Anand-Milind.

Alka’s title track became popular

Banjaran released in 1991.

There was just one song from the film in my collection.

And that was its title track, Teri Banjaran Rasta Dekhe.

That line could be translated to, “A female gypsy is waiting for you”.

The song was sung by the one and only Alka Yagnik.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to call her the voice of the soundtrack, because she lent her voice to three songs (of which a couple were duets).

It was penned by Anand Bakshi.

The two men who composed it were Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Kudalkar.

It wA(zi)z rendered by Salma

Pati Patni Aur Tawaif released in 1990.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Kehna Na Tum Yeh Kisi Se.

Two people lent their voices to the song.

One was Salma Agha, the lady who rendered the majority of the tracks in the film.

And the other was Mohammed Aziz.

Not only did he sing most of the songs in the film, but he also happened to be the only male singer on its soundtrack.

Anand Bakshi wrote the Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition.

The song was half-a-dozen minutes and five seconds long.

Aziz (Paudw)also rendered this one

Doodh Ka Karz released in 1990.

The only song from the film in my collection was Tumhe Dil Se Kaise.

The next three words of the song was Juda Hum Karenge.

The two people who lent their voices to the song were Anuradha Paudwal and Mohammed Aziz.

While the former happened to be the only female playback singer on the soundtrack of the film, the latter sang the majority of the songs in it.

The song was written by the legendary Anand Bakshi.

And the man who composed it was none other than Anu Malik.

Rathod (Bhos)lent it his voice

Chandni released in 1989.

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

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Parbat Se Kaali Ghata Takrayi would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was four minutes and 22 seconds long.

The two people who (Bhos)lent their voices to the song were Asha and Vinod Rathod.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma and Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia (a.k.a. Shiv-Hari).

Aziz sang it with Lata

Ram-Avtar released in 1988.

My collection contained just one version of a song from the film.

Or, to be precise, one version of it.

The track in question was Angooli Mein Angoothi.

It was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Aziz, who, incidentally, sang another version of it, titled Part 1.

While Mangeshkar lent her voice to Part 2, Aziz sang Part 3.

It would not be incorrect to state that the latter was the voice of the soundtrack.

Anand Bakshi penned the song, which was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.

It wA(zi)z rendered by Paudwal

Khatron Ke Khiladi, for folks my age, is a stunt-based reality show on television.

But its big-screen namesake released in 1988.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Teri Meri Pyaar Bhari Baaton Mein.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was the first song in lyricist Anand Bakshi’s ‘Fire in the Water’ Duology – the next line of the song went ‘Aag Lag Gayi Barsaaton Mein’.

Anuradha Paudwal and Mohammed Aziz lent their voices to the song, which Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma composed.

The ‘PyAr Karenge’ Duology concluded

A film title Bees Saal Baad released in 1962.

Chhabees saal baad (i.e., in 1988), an unrelated film of the same name released.

The only song from the film in my collection was a word that had three things in common with the subject of the previous post.

Firstly, the last two words in its title were Pyar Karenge.

Therefore, the ‘Pyar Karenge’ Duology concluded.

By the way, it was preceded by Hum Tumhe Itna.

Secondly, Anand Bakshi wrote the song.

And thirdly, it was a Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition.

Anuradha Paudwal and Mohammed Aziz sang it.

 

 

Aziz sang this one too

My collection contains a couple of songs from the 1986 film Nagina, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Aaj Kal Yaad Kuchh Aur Rehta Nahin would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 28 seconds long.

This song and the subject of the previous post had three things in common.

Firstly, they were written by Anand Bakshi.

Secondly, they were composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.

And thirdly, Mohammed Aziz sang it too.

Only Aziz’s solo was included

Amrit – which released in 1986 – was the second Mohan Kumar film on this playlist [after Avtaar (1983)].

My collection contained just one song from the film.

Or, to be precise, one version of one song.

The track in question was the male version of Duniya Mein Kitna Gham Hai.

The next line of the song, which was rendered by Mohammed Aziz, went, “Mera gham kitna kum hai”.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

While Anuradha Paudwal rendered the female version, the third – sung by Paudwal and Aziz – lent it their voices.
