It was another Lata-SPB duet

Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994) may have had a sequence in which the film’s cast plays cricket.

But if were a cricket team arranged in the alphabetical order, I just found its number eight – Mujhse Juda Hokar.

By no means would it be surprising to state that the two people who lent their voices to that track were Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

As far as songwriters are concerned, it was Dev Kohli’s fifth contribution to the soundtrack.

The song was composed by Raamlaxman.

It was half-a-dozen minutes and a couple of seconds long.

There were two interchangeaBLe words

Before I added this song to my collection, there were a couple of songs from Patthar Ke Phool, which released in 1991.

The subject of this post was the third track from that film.

It was titled Deewana Dil Bin Sajna Ke Maane Na.

The words Deewana and Dil were interchanged from the song from Maine Pyar Kiya (1991).

It had two things in common with the other tracks from Patthar Ke Phool – Raamlaxman composed the song, which was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

The difference was Dev Kohli penned the song.

This was an Anuradha-SPB duet

The second song from Jeena Teri Gali Mein on this playlist had three things in common with the subject of the previous one.

Firstly, from an alphabetical point of view, it also began with the letter J – it happened to be the title track of the film.

Secondly, the song was written by Ravinder Rawal, and was composed by Babul Bose.

And thirdly, Anuradha Paudwal was one of the two people who lent her voices to the song.

The man who joined her behind the microphone for it was none other than S P Balasubrahmanyam.

This was another Lata-SPB duet

When I was compiling my playlist about Birds in Hindi Film Songs, I included Kabootar Ja Ja Ja, which was from the 1989 film Maine Pyar Kiya, and was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

They lent their voices to another song that referenced a bird and was from a film that released a couple of years later.

It was titled Tota Tota Sajan Se Kehna.

And it happened to be the second song from First Love Letter in my collection.

The track, which was written by Anjaan, was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

Lata and SPB rendered it

First Love Letter, which starred Manisha Koirala and Vivek Mushran, released just over a month after Saudagar, the 1991 film that marked the pair’s debut.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Deewani Deewani would be the first.

The two people who lent the song their voices were Lata Mangeshkar and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

The latter was the only male singer to feature on the soundtrack of the film.

While the song was penned by Anjaan, the man who composed it was Bappi Lahiri.

This title track was (Balasubrahmany)amazing

Yeh To Kamaal Ho Gaya had two As in its title.

And the film, which released in 1982, starred Mr Haasan, whose first name – Kamal – had one A.

The only song from the film was titled Dekho Dekho.

It happened to be its title track (because the five words that followed that phrase were Yeh To Kamaal Ho Gaya).

The man who lent the song his voice was none other than S P Balasubrahmanyam.

He was, in fact, the voice of the soundtrack.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by R D Burman.

Arivu joined Neeti and Vishal

As long as I can remember, I have preferred listening to the radio to watching television. And one of the former taglines of a popular Ind...
