Amit composed and SANg it

The word ‘sentimental’ can be defined as, “Of, or prompted by, feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia”.

Colloquially, Indians call those who experience those feelings as ‘senti’ people, and refer to someone who is nuts as ‘mental’.

By the way, the longest song on the soundtrack of Shaandaar was titled Senti Wali Mental – it was nine minutes and a couple of seconds long.

(Am)It wasn’t just composed by Trivedi, but he was also one of the four people who sang it.

Neeti Mohan, Arijit Singh, and Swanand Kirkire were the others.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote it.

 

Saba and Siddharth sang it

Earlier in this blog, I had written about Neend Na Mujhko Aaye, from Post Box No. 999.

A recreated version of the track happened to be one of the songs on the soundtrack of Shaandaar.

In fact, if the seven songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was four minutes and 16 seconds long.

Saba Azad and Siddharth Basrur wrote the Amit Trivedi composition, which P L Santoshi wrote.

 

Neeti and Nikhil sang it

If the seven songs on the soundtrack of Shaandaar were arranged in the alphabetical order, Nazdeekiyaan would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 26 seconds long.

Like the title of the song, the first names of the two people who lent their voices to it began with the letter N (Neeti Mohan and Nikhil Paul George).

And the first names of the lyricist and the composer began with A – while it was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Trivedi composed (Am)it.

Rachel and Amit rendered it

Shaandaar released in 2015.

With the addition of this song, and the next three, to my collection, there were seven songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of the durations, Eena Meena Deeka would be the first – it was three minutes and six seconds long.

Rajinder Krishan wrote the recreated version of the song from the 1957 film Aasha.

Trivedi didn’t just compose (Am)it, but lent it his voice too.

Rachel Varghese joined him behind the microphone for the song.

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...
