The younger Merchant rendered it

Luck released in 2009.

The subject of this post was the second song from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 23 seconds long.

If the subject of the previous post was sung by Salim Merchant, it would have been a hat-trick for him.

But he also composed the song, with his older brother, Sulaiman Merchant,

The song was written by Shabbir Ahmed.

The remixed version of the song was three minutes and 42 seconds long.

This was sung by Dadlani

The second male solo on the soundtrack of Kurbaan was the title track of the film – Kurbaan Hua.

The man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Mr Dadlani.

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

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 18 seconds long.

The song, which was written by Niranjan Iyengar, was composed by the Merchants, Salim and Sulaiman.

It was another Salim solo

The subject of this post was the second of the three songs from the 2009 film Kurbaan in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the first – it was titled Ali Maula.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if one pleases), it would be the second – it was four minutes and 37 seconds long.

The contribution of Salim Merchant to the song wasn’t restricted to composing it (with Sulaiman).

But he sang it too.

Irfan Siddiqui wrote the song.

Salim wasn’t just the composer

Fashion released in 2008.

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, the subject of this post – Aashiyana – would be the first (it was five minutes and 29 seconds long).

The song was composed by the Merchant brothers, Salim-Sulaiman.

And the man who sang it was Salim, the younger of the two.

The song was written by Irfan Siddiqui.

Its remixed version – which was credited to DJ A-Myth – was  five minutes and 50 seconds long.

(Pand)It was sung by Salim

Neal ‘n’ Nikki released in 2005.

There were a couple of songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Halla Re 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 eight seconds long.

Therefore, it was just eight seconds shorter than the film’s title track.

Salim-Sulaiman composed the song, and the former also happened to be one of the two people who lent their voices to (Pand)it.

Shweta was the other.

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...
