Anuradha and Sudesh sang it

In the past, whenever I thought of Dhanno, all I could remember was Basanti’s (Hema Malini) mare in Sholay (1975) or R D Burman’s song from the 1977 film Kitaab, Dhanno Ki Aankhon Mein.

But there was a non-Pancham Dhanno in the 1990s.

It was a song titled Dhanno Ki Aankh Sharabi.

And it happened to be the second song from the 1999 film Lal Baadshah in my collection.

The two people who (Bhos)lent the song their voices were Anuradha Paudwal and Sudesh.

It was written by Shyam Raj, and was composed by Aadesh Shrivastava.

Pramila and Anup Joined Anuradha

Saugandh released in 1991.

It marked the debut of Shantipriya in Hindi films and that of Akshay Kumar as a leading man.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Haar Gaya Dil Fariyaad Karke.

Three singers teamed up to sing the song.

Two of them were ladies – Anuradha Paudwal and Pramila.

And the only male singer was one who is usually associated with bhajans.

I am referring to Anup Jalota. 

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Anand-Milind.

It was five minutes and 26 seconds long.

Paudwal rendered this recreated track

Though I knew Mera Laung Gawacha was recreated by Bally Sagoo, I was today years old when I read that it was a recreation of Pakistani singer Musarrat Nazir’s song of the same name.

The song, without which no Punjabi wedding is complete, appeared on the British DJ’s album Star Crazy.

And a Hindi film version of it featured on the soundtrack of Naag Mani.

Both of them released in 1991.

The lady who lent the latter her voice was Anuradha Paudwal.

The song, which was written by Dev Kohli, was composed by Anu Malik.  

This was an Anuradha-SPB duet

The second song from Jeena Teri Gali Mein on this playlist had three things in common with the subject of the previous one.

Firstly, from an alphabetical point of view, it also began with the letter J – it happened to be the title track of the film.

Secondly, the song was written by Ravinder Rawal, and was composed by Babul Bose.

And thirdly, Anuradha Paudwal was one of the two people who lent her voices to the song.

The man who joined her behind the microphone for it was none other than S P Balasubrahmanyam.

Nitin sang it with Anuradha

Before I added the subject of this post, and that of the next one, to my collection, it contained just one song from Jeena Teri Gali Mein (1991).

If the three tracks from the film in it were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jaate Ho Pardes Piya would be the first.

All the songs in the film were duets.

And Anuradha Paudwal happened to lend her voice to each of those.

For that track, she was joined behind the microphone by Nitin Mukesh.

It was written by Ravinder Rawal, and was composed by Babul Bose.

Anuradha (Mun)nailed this title track

My collection contained one song from Aayee Milan Ki Raat, which released in 1991.

And it happened to be the title track of the film.

The first six words of the line went, “Kitne Dinon Ke Baad Hai Aayee”.

While they were followed by the word Sajna, the three that followed it were Milan Ki Raat.

The two people who lent their voices to the song were Anuradha Paudwal and Mohammed Aziz (popularly known as Munna).

It was written by Sameer Anjaan.

The two men who composed the song were the Srivastavs, Anand and Milind.

(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.

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.

This song became quite PoPUlar

Bahaar Aane Tak released in 1990.

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

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the second –the title of the song was Mohabbat Inayat Karam Dekhte Hain.

Anuradha Paudwal, the only female singer on the soundtrack of the film, lent her voice to the song – a duet, for which she was joined behind the microphone by Pankaj Udhas.

It was penned by Indeevar, composed by Rajesh Roshan, and was quite a popular song in the 1990s.

PerhAPs Aziz’s popularity started waning

The subject of this post was from a film in whose title the word Numbri appeared twice.

And there were two numbers from it in my collection.

I am referring to Haan Pehli Baar Hua Hai [which would be the second if the songs from Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri (1990) in it were arranged in the alphabetical order].

By that point, the popularity of Mohammed Aziz – one of the two people who sang the song – had begun to decline.

Anuradha Paudwal joined him behind the microphone for the Nadeem-Shravan composition, which Sameer Anjaan penned.

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.

This was another Paudwal-Aziz duet

Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988) marked the big-screen debut of Salman Khan (who played a supporting role in it).

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Phool Gulaab Ka.

By the way, that track had a couple of other things in common with the subject of the previous post.

Firstly, the two people who lent it their voices were Anuradha Paudwal and Mohammed Aziz.

And secondly, it was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was half-a-dozen minutes and nine seconds long.

 

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.

 

 

This tracK (Anurad)had both tenses

Teri Meherbaniyan released in 1985.

There were a couple of songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the first.

The song’s title had a phrase in both the past and the present tense – it was Dil Beqaraar Tha Dil Beqaraar Hai.

Two people lent their voices to it.

One of them was Shabbir Kumar, the voice of the soundtrack.

And the other was Anuradha Paudwal.

S H Bihari wrote the song, which Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma composed.
