It was sung by Bhardwaj

There were a couple of songs from 7 Khoon Maaf (which released in 2011) in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Bekaraan would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 25 seconds long.

The involvement of Vishal Bhardwaj in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he lent his voice to it as well.

No prizes for guessing that one of the two men who penned it was Gulzar.

Javed Sheikh shared writing credits with him for it.

Rekha Bhardwaj rendered this version

I don’t add remixed versions of songs to my collection.

But I decided to make an exception for the subject of this post, because that was the only version I had heard.

The song in question was Phoonk De (Club Mix).

It appeared during the closing credits of No Smoking (2007), and was the only song from the film in my collection.

Rekha Bhardwaj sang that track, which was five minutes and 15 seconds long.

It was composed by Vishal Bhardwaj, who was also one of the film’s producers.

The song was penned by Gulzar.  

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.

Bhupinder Singh sang this song

My collection contained five songs from Satya (1998), including the subject of this post.

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

The man who lent his voice to the song was Bhupinder Singh.

Gulzar wrote the song, whose next line-and-a-half went, “Kaat kaat ke, kaagazon pe naam jodna”.

The Vishal Bhardwaj composition could be translated to, “Cutting our names from the clouds and writing them on sheets of paper”.

Vani Jairam sang this prayer

Vani Jairam was born in Vellore, Madras Presidency, British India (now in Tamil Nadu) on November 30, 1945.

On February 4, 2023, the 77-year-old playback singer died, after a fall, in Chennai, the capital of the aforementioned state in southern India.

She was the voice of soundtrack of Guddi (1971).

While my collection had just one song from the film earlier  I added the second to this playlist.

It was the four-and-a-half-minute prayer, Humko Man Ki Shanti Dena.

A chorus accompanied Vani for the song, which was written by Gulzar, and composed by Vasant Desai.
