Ms Bhosle was the Sing(h)er

Manzil Manzil released in 1984.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was one of the weakest Nasir Hussain soundtracks in my collection – there were just a couple of tracks from the film in my collection, including the subject of this post.

It was titled Lut Gaye Hum Toh Raahon Mein.

If the songs from that film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the first.

The two people who (Bhos)lent it their voices were Asha and Shailendra Singh.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the song, which R D Burman composed.

Only one version WaS included

There were a couple of versions of the subject of this post in the film.

But my collection contained just one.

I am referring to the happy version of Humko Toh Yaari Se Matlab Hai, from Andar Baahar, which released in 1984*.

The song was a male duet – it was sung by Shailendra Singh and Suresh Wadkar.

By the way, this was the second song from the film in my collection.

This song – which was also an R D Burman composition – was penned by Gulshan Bawra.

(*Note: The sad version was a Shailendra Singh solo.)

Shailendra (Bhos)lent it his voice

And if they were arranged in ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 19 seconds long.

The two people who (Bhos)lent their voices to the song were Asha and Shailendra Singh.

Majrooh Sultanpuri 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...
