Mr Kher sang this SoNg

If the four songs from Krazzy 4 in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, O Re Lakad would be the last.

In fact, that was the only song from the film that was picturised on the titular quartet – Arshad Warsi, Irrfan, Rajpal Yadav, and Suresh Menon.

Of the three people who lent their voices to it, only one was a lady.

Her name was Sowmya Raoh.

The men who joined her behind the microphone for it were Kailash Kher and Neeraj Shridhar.

Javed Akhtar penned the song, which was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

It was sung by Dadlani

Z – the last letter of the English alphabet – is pronounced Zed in India and Zee in the United States.

But one song did not just have that pronunciation, but also a deliberate misspelling.

The track in question was Krazzy 4, which released in 2008.

Speaking of the alphabet, if the four songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the penultimate one.

The song was picturised on Hrithik Roshan, and composed by Rajesh Roshan.

It was written by Javed Akhtar.

Vishal Dadlani was the man who lent it his voice.

Mr Khan did no ‘Kamaal’

Na Tum Jaano Na Hum was a song from Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), which marked Hrithik Roshan’s debut as a leading man.

It inspired the title of a 2002 film, which, incidentally, starred him.

My collection contained two songs from that film, including the subject of that post.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the descending order of their durations, Tum Meri Baahon Mein Aa Na Sake would be the second – it was five minutes and 53 seconds long.

Kamaal Khan sang the Rajesh Roshan composition, which Anand Bakshi penned.

Nigam failed to (Chi)nail it

Keemat – whose tagline was They Are Back – released in 1998.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film, including the subject of this post, which was titled De Diya Dil Piya.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would, in fact, be the first of those.

As far as contributions to the film’s soundtrack were concerned, it was the only one for both the people who lent their voices to it.

One was Alisha Chinai, and the other was Sonu Nigam.

The song, which Indeevar wrote, was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Three (Fal)‘guni’ Sing(h)ers San(u)g this

Koyla released in 1997 (and was, in fact, the first Hindi film I went to a cinema hall to watch).

There were four songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Badan Juda Hote Hain would be the first – it was a whopping ten-and-a-half minutes long.

Kumar Sanu as joined behind the microphone for it by ‘The Dandiya Queen’, Falguni Pathak, and Preeti Singh, the daughter of composer Uttam Singh.

Indeevar wrote the song, which Rajesh Roshan composed.

It was an Abhijeet solo

My collection contained a couple of songs from Dastak, which released in 1996.

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

Interestingly, this song was one of the two versions of a song, which was titled Tumhe Kaise Main Bataoon (which means, “How do I tell you?”)

The next line of the song went, “Tumhe kaise main kahoon” (which means, “How do I say it to you?”)

Abhijeet rendered both the versions of the song, which was penned by Javed Akhtar, and composed by Rajesh Roshan.

It was a Lata solo

With the addition of this song to my collection, it contained five songs from Karan Arjun, which released in 1995.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Ek Munda would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was seven minutes and 38 seconds long.

It was the only female solo in the film – it was the only contribution to the one and only Lata Mangeshkar to its soundtrack.

The song, which was written by Indeevar, was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Nitin sang it with Lata

Kishen Kanhaiya released in 1990.

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

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Krishna Krishna Aaye Krishna would the second.

Two people lent their voices to that song, whose next four words went, “Jagmag Hua Re Angna”.

One of them was the one and only Lata Mangeshkar.

And the other was Nitin Mukesh.

It happened to be the only contribution of the pair to the soundtrack of the film.

The song, which was penned by Indeevar, was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

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.

This was a Sadhana-Sanu duet

Aasman Se Ooncha released on March 3, 1989.

The only song from the film in my collection was Jiya Pyaar Maange Jiya.

It was the title track of the film, because Aasman Se Ooncha were the three words that followed the four aforementioned ones.

The first time I heard it was during Kumar Sanu’s interview to an FM station’s YouTube channel.

The lady who joined him behind the microphone for the song was Sadhana Sargam.

The song, which was written by Shyamalal Babu Rai (better known by his pseudonym, Indeevar), was composed by Rajesh Roshan.  

It was rendered by Lata

I did not know the subject of this song before I added it to my collection.

But it made it to the playlist thanks to a glance at Binaca Geetmala’s Annual List for 1983.

The song was titled Sajna Sun Sun Meri Chaabi.

And it was the only song from Rishta Kagaz Ka in my collection.

The repeated word in the song’s title could be translated to, “Listen”.

And that was precisely what Hindi film music enthusiasts did, because the person singing it was Lata Mangeshkar.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the song, which Rajesh Roshan composed.
