Naza Jr rendered this qawwali

Chadhta Suraj Dheere Dheere was a qawwali composed and sung by Aziz Naza.

The next two words of the song were, “Dhal jayega”.

Therefore, it could be translated to, “The rising sun will gradually set”.

The only thing he did not do was pen it – the man credited with its lyrics was Qaiser Ratnagirvi.

A recreated version of the song featured on the soundtrack of the 2017 film Indu Sarkar.

The aforementioned qawwal’s son, Mujtaba Aziz Naza, lent it his voice.

But the person who composed the song was the one and only Anu Malik.

This track wAS a recreation

Phir Subah Hogi released in 1958.

One of its most popular songs was Woh Subah Kabhi Toh Aayegi.

In fact, it was one of the tracks on my playlist containing songs from Hindi films that released between 1950 and 1959.

Sahir Ludhianvi penned the Khayyam composition, to which Asha and Mukesh (Bhos)lent their voices.

A recreated version of the song – titled Woh Subah – featured on the soundtrack of Begum Jaan (2017).

Kausar Munir wrote the Anu Malik composition, which was four minutes and 15 seconds long.

(Arij)It was rendered by Shreya Ghoshal and Mr Singh.

Kareena’s Actual nickname wAS used

In the post about Missing Sunday, I wrote about Viva!

Another member of the band was Anushka Manchanda.

She happened to be one of the three people who sang the subject of this post.

It was titled Bebo, and it was from Kambakkht Ishq (2009).

The song wasn’t just named after Kareena Kapoor (who is affectionately called Bebo), but it was also picturised on her.

By the way, the other ladies who sang it were Alisha Chinai and Suzanne D’Mello.

Anvita Dutt wrote the Anu Malik composition, which was four minutes and 19 seconds long.

This was S(on)ung by Suzanne

If the four songs from Jaan-E-Mann were arranged in the alphabetical order, Sau Dard would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was five minutes and 45 seconds long.

Sonu Nigam was one of the two people who lent the song their voices.

And the lady who joined him behind the microphone for it was Suzanne D’Mello.

Gulzar wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.

Its remixed version – which was titled Groove Mix – was a minute shorter than the original.

It was a Sonu solo

Jaan-E-Mann released in 2006.

My collection contains four songs from the film.

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

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

The man who lent his voice to the song was the voice of the soundtrack, Sonu Nigam.

It was the only solo in the film.

The song was written by the one and only Sampooran Singh Kalra (popularly known as Gulzar).

It was composed by Anu Malik.

Ms Srikar sang this Son(u)g

My collection contained three tracks from Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, which released in 2006.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, For Your Eyes Only would be the first.

But if I had my way, I would have called it for my ears only, because I only listened to it when I was adding it to my collection.

Sonu Nigam was one of the two people who lent the song their voices.

Nandini Srikar joined him behind the microphone for it.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Anu Malik.

Mr Beura sang this Son(u)g

Shaadi No. 1 released in 2005.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Jitne Channel TV Ke.

In it, the number of television channels was apparently equivalent to the number of tantrums one’s wife threw.

While one needs a remote control to flip the former, the husband needs to give his better half (currency) notes.

The song happened to be the only contribution of both Sonu Nigam and Krishna Beura to the soundtrack of the film.

That track was written by Sameer Anjaan.

And it was composed by Anu Malik.

Unfortunately, it was a (Sunid)hit

I watched Aan: Men at Work (2004) at a cinema hall in Mumbai, where I was holidaying upon completing my graduation, and before taking the entrance exam to my journalism course.

If the two songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nasha Nasha would be the second.

The song, which was not a hit, marked the big-screen debut of Gauahar Khan.

And it happened to be the only contribution of Sunidhi Chauhan to the soundtrack of the film.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Anu Malik.

K S Chithra S(ha)ang this

Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon released in 2003.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Kasam Ki Kasam.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was the best-known song in the film.

K S Chithra, one of the two people who lent her voice to the song, happened to be the voice of the soundtrack.

Shaan, who joined her behind the microphone for it, was the only male voice on it.

Dev Kohli wrote the Anu Malik composition.

It was half-a-dozen minutes and three seconds long.

Nigam sang this run-of-the-mill song

If the five songs from Ishq Vishk were arranged in the alphabetical order, Love Love Tum Karo would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, they would be the first – it was five minutes and 41 seconds long.

As far as the songs from the film in my collection were concerned, Sonu Nigam, who sang it, was the voice of the soundtrack.

It was the only male solo in the film.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by none other than Anu Malik.

ThiS(o)number was sung by Alka

My collection contained five songs from the 2003 film Ishq Vishk, including the subject of this post and that of the next one.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Dooba Re Dooba would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and nine seconds long.

Alka Yagnik, the voice of the soundtrack, was one of the two people who lent it their voices.

Sonu Nigam was the other.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.

It was a KK solo

If the five songs from Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai were arranged in the alphabetical order, Pyaar Re – the second song from the film on this blog – would be the penultimate one.

It was sung by KK, who happened to be one of the three male voices of the soundtrack, because he also lent his voice to its title track*.

The man who wrote it was none other than Sameer Anjaan.

And the one who composed it was Anu Malik.

(*Note: That song – which also happened to be a KK solo – was not in my collection.)

Alka and Babul sang it

This playlist contains a couple of songs from Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai, which released in 2001.

That takes the number of songs from the film in my collection to five.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jabse Dekha Hai would be the second.

Alka Yagnik and Babul Supriyo were the two people who lent their voices to it.

While the former was the female voice of the soundtrack, the latter was one of its male voices.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by the one and only Anu Malik. 

ThiS track wAS qUite diSAPpointing

Mela released in 2000.

If the two tracks from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, its title track – Mela Dilon Ka – would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was seven minutes and 28 seconds long.

(Ud)It was sung by three ladies (Alka Yagnik, Poonam, and Sadhana Sargam), and four men (Abhijeet, Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Nigam, and Mr Narayan).

Dev Kohli and Dharmesh Darshan, the film’s director, wrote the Anu Malik composition, which was quite disappointing.

This song wasn’t even pASSable

Hum To Mohabbat Karega released in 2000.

The film’s title was inspired by the song from Dilli Ka Thug, which released in 1958.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Leh Liya Leh Liya.

Although I remembered it while compiling this playlist, it would not be incorrect to state that it was not even a passable song.

The three Sing(h)ers who (Bhos)lent it their voices were Abhijeet, Sudesh, and Sukhwinder.

The song was written by Majrooh Sultanpuri (who, incidentally, penned the Dilli Ka Thug track too).

Anu Malik composed it.

 

Prashant joined Preeti and Pinky

My collection contains five songs from the 2000 film Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Piya Piya would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the joint-fourth – it was five minutes and 40 seconds long.

Therefore, the track was as long as Ek Garam Chai Ki Pyali Ho.

Prashant joined sisters Preeti and Pinky joined behind the microphone for it.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Anu Malik.

Ms Krishnamurthy sang this Son(u)g

My collection contained a couple of songs from the 2000 film Badal.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Na Milo Kahin Pyaar would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 47 seconds long.

Kavita Krishnamurthy – one of the female voices of the soundtrack – was one of the two people who lent their voices to the song.

Sonu Nigam joined her behind the microphone for it. It was his only contribution to the soundtrack.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.

Yagnik and Supriyo sang it

Aaghaaz meant ‘beginning’.

While it obviously wasn’t the title of the first film on this playlist, it was that of the first one that released in 2000 on it.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Mann Tera Mera Mann.

Alka Yagnik and Babul Supriyo were the two people who lent the song their voices.

While the former was one of the female voices of the soundtrack, it was the latter’s only contribution to it.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the Anu Malik composition, which was five minutes and 23 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 S(an)ung by Sargam

Hameshaa released in 1997.

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

It happened to be the title track of the film, Hameshaa Hameshaa.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 54 seconds long.

Sadhana Sargam, the female voice of the soundtrack, lent it her voice.

She was joined behind the microphone for it by Kumar Sanu.

Rahat Indori wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.
