Shaan (Bhos)lent it his voice

When I compiled my playlist, titled Hindi Film Songs Inspired by Food and Beverages, I had not heard the subject of this post.

It was titled Kehta Hai Kabootar.

If the three songs from Bewafaa were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the third.

A couple of singers (Bhos)lent their voices to that track.

One of them was none other than Asha.

And the man who joined her behind the microphone for it was Shaan.

The song was written by Sameer Anjaan.

It was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

 

Mr Narayan did (Ud)it justice

Bewafaa released in 2005.

And, as were the majority of my film-viewing experiences, this one happened to take place aboard a bus as well.

My collection now contains three songs from the film, including the two on this blog.

One of those was the subject of this post.

It was titled Ek Dilruba Hai.

Only Mr Narayan could have done justice to the song.

(Ud)It happened to be his only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

The song was penned by Sameer Anjaan.

It was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

ThiS(a)number was rendered by Alka

The tagline of Qayamat, which released in 2003, was City Under Threat.

My collection contains just one song from the film.

Or, should I say, it contains one version of a song.

I am referring to Woh Ladki Bahut Yaad Aati Hai.

Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu were the two people who lent their voices to that version, which was half-a-dozen minutes and 47 seconds long.

Sanu sang the solo, which was just a couple of minutes and 27 seconds long.

Sameer Anjaan penned the song, which Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod composed.

Ms Yagnik sang thiS(an)underrated song

My collection contained a couple of songs from Andaaz, which released in 2003.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Kisi Se Tum Pyaar Karo would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was five minutes and 11 seconds long.

It was an underrated song.

Alka Yagnik, the voice of the soundtrack, was one of the two people who sang it.

The man who joined her behind the microphone for it was Kumar Sanu.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

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.

ThiS(a)number was rendered by Yagnik

Ek Rishtaa completed the 2001 Duology of Hindi films whose titles had English taglines – the next four words in its title were The Bond of Love.

And even the title of the only song from the film began with the word Ek.

The next two words of the title of that track were Dil Hai.

The two people who lent their voices to it were Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu (who were the voices of the soundtrack).

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod. 

Ms Yagnik sang thiS(reeku)marvellous song

By no means would it be incorrect to state that the latter half of the 1990s weren’t as fruitful for composers Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

Saat Rang Ke Sapne was the only other 1998 release whose soundtrack was credited to them.

If the second song from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the descending order of their durations, its title track would be the second – it was four minutes and 56 seconds long.

Alka Yagnik and M G Sreekumar wrote the song, which Sameer wrote.

Mr Mishra was the sinGeR

Ek Number is a colloquial phrase, which means ‘excellent’.

If one were to reverse those words, they would be the third and fourth words, respectively, of a song from Saajan Chale Sasural.

It was titled Main Hoon Number Ek Gawaiya.

If the five songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the third.

Three men lent it their voices. They were Kunal Ganjawala, Vinod Rathod, and Satyanarayan Mishra.

The song was written by Sameer Anjaan.

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

Good‘bYeS’ did not sound sweeter

The subject of this post was a run-of-the-mill duet titled Bye Bye Miss Good Night.

If the five songs from Saajan Chale Sasural (1996) in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the first.

The two people who lent their voices to the soundtrack were Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.

By no means would that be a surprise, because they were the female and male voices of the soundtrack respectively.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, whose next line went, “See You Again”.

Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod wrote it.

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.

Only Yagnik’s version was included

Raja released in 1995.

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

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the female version of Tumne Agar Pyaar Se – which was rendered by none other than Alka Yagnik – would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order, it would be the third – it was five minutes and 43 seconds long.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

(*Note: The male version of the song was sung by Udit Narayan. It was as long as the female version.)

It wAS a run-of-the-mill duet

Andolan released in 1995.

My collection contains a couple of songs from the film (including the subject of this post).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Aayegi Har Pal Tujhe would be the first.

It would not be incorrect to state that it was a run-of-the-mill duet.

The two people who lent it their voices were Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.

And that was certainly not a surprise, because the two of them were the voices of the soundtrack.

Sameer Anjaan penned the song, which Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod composed.

 

Alka and Udit rendered it

When I decided to compile a list of Hindi film songs that referenced colours, I hadn’t heard the subject of this post.

It was titled Yeh Neeli Peeli Choodiyan.

It was the second song from Ekka Raja Rani in my collection.

One of the two people who lent their voices to it was the one and only Alka Yagnik.

And the other was Udit Narayan.

They were the leading male and female voice on the film’s soundtrack.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

It was SUng by Sarika

Ekka Raja Rani released in 1994.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film.

The first of those was completed Udit Narayan’s ‘Milega Duology of 1994’.

And that was because the title of that track was Ishq Karoge Toh Dard Milega.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by two other singers.

One was Sarika Kapoor.

And the other was the one and only Kumar Sanu.

It could, in fact, be called the second track in the lyricist’s and music directors’ ‘Milega Duology of 1994’ too – Sameer Anjaan wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

(Ud)It was sung by Alka

There were four songs from the 1994 film Dilwale in my collection, including the subject of this post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Mauka Milega Toh Hum Bata Denge would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 28 seconds long.

(Ud)it was Mr Narayan’s only contribution to the film’s soundtrack.

Alka Yagnik joined him behind the microphone for it.

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

Ms Yagnik San(u)g this song

The second song from Shreemaan Aashique on this playlist – and the third in my collection – was Choom Loon Honth Tere.

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

The man who wrote the song was Noor Kaskar.

Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu were the two people who taught why it is important to inform one’s partner of his intention before proceeding to kiss her on her lips.

The two men who composed the song were Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod.

Mr Mirza rendered this trAcK

My collection contained just one song from the 1993 film Shreemaan Aashique.

I added two other songs from the film to it.

One of those was Abhi Toh Main Jawan Hoon.

The opening line of the song, which Sameer Anjaan wrote, could be translated to, “I am still young” (which is what everyone wants to be).

Ahmed Mirza was one of the two people who lent it their voices.

The other was Anupam Kher, who also played a supporting role in the film.

He was, in fact, the jawan in the song, which Nadeem-Shravan composed.

Ms Krishnamurthy San(u)g this song

Sangram released in 1993.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Bheegi Huyee Hai Raat.

That track, and the subject of the previous post, had three things in common.

Firstly, the male singer was the one and only Kumar Sanu.

Secondly, the song was written by Sameer Anjaan.

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

The lady who joined Sanu behind the microphone for the song was Kavita Krishnamurthy.

While he was the voice of the film’s soundtrack, it was the latter’s only contribution to it.

Sanu (Bhos)lent it his voice

If the three tracks from Sainik in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Meri Wafayen would be the second.

It had three things in common with the other two.

Firstly, the man who sang it was the one and only Kumar Sanu.

Secondly, the song was penned by Sameer Anjaan.

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

It was a duet – Sanu was joined behind the microphone for it by the one and only Asha Bhosle.

It was her only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

This was a Sanu solo

Before I added the subject of this post – and the next one – to my collection, it contained just one song from Sainik, which released in 1993.

If the three songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jaam Woh Hai would be the first.

It was the only male solo on the film’s soundtrack – it was rendered by the one and only Kumar Sanu. It wasn’t a surprise, because he was the voice of the soundtrack.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and Shravan Kumar Rathod composed.
