(Ud)It was out of ‘Line’

A film titled Hum Se Badkar Kaun released in 1981.

Seventeen years later, an unrelated film released.

Its title combined the words Hum and Se, and added the letter ‘h’ to the word Badkar.

There was just one song from the film.

It was titled Line Maarle (Mumbai slang for flirting).

(Ud)It happened to be the only solo on the soundtrack of the film – the man who lent it his voice was none other than Mr Narayan (who was, in fact, the voice of the soundtrack).

Faaiz Anwar wrote the song, which Viju Shah composed.

Kumar Sanu sang this trAcK

If the six songs from Gupt: The Hidden Truth in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Yeh Pyaar Kya Hai would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 34 seconds long.

While Alka Yagnik and Kavita Krishnamurthy were the two ladies who lent their voices to the song, the man who joined them behind the microphone for it was none other than Kumar Sanu.

Anand Bakshi penned the song, which was composed by Viju Shah.

Sargam sang this UNderrated song

This is the second of the three Viju Shah compositions from films that released in 1997 on this playlist.

And it was one of the two songs from Gupt: The Hidden Truth on it.

If the six songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Mere Sanam Tujhko would the fourth – it was five minutes and 48 seconds long.

There is no two ways about the fact that that song, which Anand Bakshi penned, was underrated.

Sadhana Sargam and Mr Narayan sang (Ud)it.

Sargam sang it with Abhijeet

I concluded the previous post with a statement about three of the 10 songs from films that released in 1997 on this playlist being Viju Shah compositions.

One of them was the third song from Aar Ya Paar in my collection.

It was titled Mann Chahe Sanam.

It happened to be the only contributions of the two people who sang it to the soundtrack of the film.

Sadhana Sargam and Abhijeet were the singers in question.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that this song, which was written by Indeevar, was underrated.

(Ud)It was rendered by Yagnik

Tere Mere Sapne released in 1996.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Mera Dil Gaya would be the third of the four songs from the film in my collection.

It was the only contribution of Alka Yagnik to the soundtrack of the film.

She was joined behind the microphone by none other than Udit Narayan, who happened to be the voice of the soundtrack.

The song was written by Anand Bakshi.

It was composed by Viju Shah, who, incidentally, composed 30% of the tracks from films that released in 1997 on this playlist.

(Am)It was sung by Sapna

Aika and Suno are Marathi and Hindi for ‘listen’, respectively.

A portmanteau of those words was Aiko.

It was the first of the two words in the only song from Muqaddar Ka Badshaah (1990) in my collection.

The other was Haina, which is Hindi for ‘Isn’t it?’

The version of the song, which was five minutes long, was a duet – (Am)it was rendered by Sapna Mukherjee and Mr Kumar.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the song, which was composed by Viju Shah.

The other version – which was sung by Kumar – was a minute and 50 seconds long.  

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...
