Kids probABly loved thIS trAcK

There were four songs from Fanaa (2006) in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the ascending order of their durations, Chanda Chamke would be the first – it was three minutes and 50 seconds long.

The three people who lent the song their voices were Mahalakshmi Iyer, Babul Supriyo, and my namesake, Master Akshay Bhagwat.

The film’s leads, Kajol and Aamir Khan, mouthed a series of tongue-twisters in it.

The song – a remake of Yaara Yaara from Hum Tum (2004) – was written by Prasoon Joshi.

(Pand)It was written by Jatin-Lalit.

Five SingerS Sang thiS S(upriy)ong

My collection contained three songs from Dus (2005).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the first, and the only one that didn’t begin with D – it was titled Chham Se.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the last – it was five minutes and 17 seconds long.

The quintet that lent their voices to it included two ladies – Sapna Mukherjee and Sunidhi Chauhan.

Babul Supriyo, Shaan, and Sonu Nigam were the others.

Panchhi Jalonvi wrote the Vishal-Shekhar composition. 

Alka and Babul rendered it

Every Hindi film music buff has heard Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, the song from Rocky, which released in 1981.

The song inspired the title of a film that released in 2002.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Meri Tarah Tum Bhi.

The song, which was four minutes and 56 seconds long, was Babul Supriyo’s only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by the one and only Alka Yagnik.

The song, which was written by Jalees Rashid, was composed by Sajid-Wajid.

Three playBAcK singers rendered this

I really do not know what I was thinking when I accompanied an acquaintance to the cinema hall to watch Jeena Sirf Merre Liye, which released in 2002.

However, all I remembered when I was compiling this playlist was one song from the film.

It happened to be the title track of the film.

While one of the three people who lent it their voices was Babul Supriyo, the duo who joined him behind the microphone for it were Alka Yagnik and Kavita Krishnamurthy.

The song was written by Sameer Anjaan, and composed by Nadeem-Shravan.

It was another Yagnik-Supriyo duet

There were a couple of things in common between the subject of the previous post and that of this one.

Firstly, both were from films that released in 2002.

And secondly, they were composed by Anand Raaj Anand.

But what is more interesting are the four differences between them.

Firstly, it was titled Humne Tumko Dil Yeh De Diya.

Secondly, it was the only song from Gunaah in my collection.

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

And lastly, the track was penned by Praveen Bhardwaj.

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. 

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 Krishnamurthy sang this S(upriy)ong

Incidentally, both the songs from Agni Sakshi (1996) in my collection – including the subject of this post – began with the letter O.

Moreover, O Piya O Piya had three other things in common with O Yaara Dil Lagana.

Firstly, the lady who lent her voice to it was Kavita Krishnamurthy.

Secondly, it was written by Sameer Anjaan.

And thirdly, it was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

But the first difference was O Piya O Piya was a duet – Babul Supriyo sang it with Krishnamurthy.

Moreover, that track was half-a-dozen minutes long.
