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.

Veronica and Juggy sang it

U ‘n’ I may have had a (colloquial) English title, but it also went by the Hindi/Punjabi title, Mere Dil Vich Hum Tum.

Therefore, it was not just the second title track of the film, but it was also the shortest of the six songs from it in my collection – it was three minutes and 38 seconds long.

Londoners Veronica Mehta and Juggy D sang the song, which was written by Prasoon Joshi.

It was the only song in the film that Jatin-Lalit did not compose – it was composed by the British-Indian producer Rishi Rich.

(Ud)It was An inspired inspiration

My collection contained six songs from Hum Tum (2004).

These included the two on this playlist.

One of those was Yaara Yaara.

(Ud)It was sung by Alka Yagnik and Mr Narayan.

Prasoon Joshi sang the song, which was composed by Jatin-Lalit, and was four minutes and 44 seconds long.

Incidentally, that song was deleted from the film.

But it was used in Chanda Chamke, a song from Kunal Kohli’s (the director of the film) next film, Fanaa (which released in 2006).

It was inspired by Samra We Betha, a song by the Iraqi band Miami.
