Mr Nigam rendered this song

With the addition of the subject of this post, and the next two, to my collection, there were four songs from the 2020 film Khuda Haafiz in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Aakhri Kadam Tak – ironically – would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 17 seconds long.

The man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Sonu Nigam.

Mithoon didn’t just compose the song, but penned it too.

Sonu sang this title soNG

Apne released in 2007.

There was just one song from the film in my collection.

It happened to be the title track of the film – Apne Toh Apne Hote Hain.

The opening line of the song translated to, “Our own people are our own”.

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

I am talking about Jaspinder Narula.

The men who joined her behind the microphone for the song were Sonu Nigam and Jayesh Gandhi.

It was written by Sameer Anjaan.

The man who composed the song was Himesh Reshammiya.

This was S(on)ung by Suzanne

If the four songs from Jaan-E-Mann were arranged in the alphabetical order, Sau Dard would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the penultimate one – it was five minutes and 45 seconds long.

Sonu Nigam was one of the two people who lent the song their voices.

And the lady who joined him behind the microphone for it was Suzanne D’Mello.

Gulzar wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.

Its remixed version – which was titled Groove Mix – was a minute shorter than the original.

It was a Sonu solo

Jaan-E-Mann released in 2006.

My collection contains four songs from the film.

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

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

The man who lent his voice to the song was the voice of the soundtrack, Sonu Nigam.

It was the only solo in the film.

The song was written by the one and only Sampooran Singh Kalra (popularly known as Gulzar).

It was composed by Anu Malik.

Ms Srikar sang this Son(u)g

My collection contained three tracks from Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, which released in 2006.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, For Your Eyes Only would be the first.

But if I had my way, I would have called it for my ears only, because I only listened to it when I was adding it to my collection.

Sonu Nigam was one of the two people who lent the song their voices.

Nandini Srikar joined him behind the microphone for it.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Anu Malik.

Mr Beura sang this Son(u)g

Shaadi No. 1 released in 2005.

My collection contained just one song from the film.

It was titled Jitne Channel TV Ke.

In it, the number of television channels was apparently equivalent to the number of tantrums one’s wife threw.

While one needs a remote control to flip the former, the husband needs to give his better half (currency) notes.

The song happened to be the only contribution of both Sonu Nigam and Krishna Beura to the soundtrack of the film.

That track was written by Sameer Anjaan.

And it was composed by Anu Malik.

Five SingerS Sang thiS S(upriy)ong

My collection contained three songs from Dus (2005).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the first, and the only one that didn’t begin with D – it was titled Chham Se.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the last – it was five minutes and 17 seconds long.

The quintet that lent their voices to it included two ladies – Sapna Mukherjee and Sunidhi Chauhan.

Babul Supriyo, Shaan, and Sonu Nigam were the others.

Panchhi Jalonvi wrote the Vishal-Shekhar composition. 

Nigam sang this run-of-the-mill song

If the five songs from Ishq Vishk were arranged in the alphabetical order, Love Love Tum Karo would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, they would be the first – it was five minutes and 41 seconds long.

As far as the songs from the film in my collection were concerned, Sonu Nigam, who sang it, was the voice of the soundtrack.

It was the only male solo in the film.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by none other than Anu Malik.

ThiS(o)number was sung by Alka

My collection contained five songs from the 2003 film Ishq Vishk, including the subject of this post and that of the next one.

Alka Yagnik, the voice of the soundtrack, was one of the two people who lent it their voices.

Sonu Nigam was the other.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.

This was a Nigam solo

Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein released in 2001.

The soundtrack of the film had a couple of title tracks.

While one, obviously, was Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, the other was titled Kaise Main Kahoon Tujhse.

But my collection contained just one of those – the latter, which was sung by Sonu Nigam.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was just a minute and four seconds long.

The song, which Sameer Anjaan wrote, was composed by Harris Jayaraj.

If the two tracks from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, its title track – Mela Dilon Ka – 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 28 seconds long.

(Ud)It was sung by three ladies (Alka Yagnik, Poonam, and Sadhana Sargam), and four men (Abhijeet, Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Nigam, and Mr Narayan).

Dev Kohli and Dharmesh Darshan, the film’s director, wrote the Anu Malik composition, which was quite disappointing.

Ms Yagnik rendered the Son(u)g

My collection contained four songs from Chal Mere Bhai, which released in 2000.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Meri Neend Jaane Lagi Hai would be the fourth.

It was, in fact, the second track from the film in my collection that began with the letter M.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five-and-a-half seconds long.

Alka Yagnik and Mr Nigam lent their voices to the Son(u)g.

It was written by Sameer Anjaan, and composed by the Srivastava brothers, Anand-Milind.

Ms Krishnamurthy sang this Son(u)g

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.

Mr Nigam sang this Son(u)g

In 1996, there were two versions of Kinna Sona Tenu Rab Ne Banaya.

I have already included the Hindi translation of the song (Kitna Pyara Tujhe Rab Ne Banaya, from Raja Hindustani).

And the subject of this post is a version that combines Punjabi and Hindi.

It was titled Kinna Sona Tujhe Rab Ne Banaya.

And it was the song from Aisi Bhi Kya Jaldi Hai in my collection.

The man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Sonu Nigam.

The song, which Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote, was composed by Gaurishankar Sharma.

It was (Nig)among Sonu’s earliest

Aaja Meri Jaan released in 1993.

With the addition of this track to my collection, it contains three songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, this was the second – it was titled Ishq Mein Hum Tumhe Kya Batayen.

Unlike the other two songs, this was a solo – it was one of the earliest songs recorded by none other than Sonu Nigam.

The song was written by Pakistani musician Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi.

And it is composed by Nikhil-Vinay. While the former’s last name is Kamath, the latter’s last name is Tiwari.
