THis was yet aNother reMake

The second song on the soundtrack of Jabariya Jodi (Zilla Hilela) was yet another remake.

The original – Arrah Hile Chhapra Hile Ballia Hilela – was a folk song from Dangal, a Bhojpuri film that released in 1977.

Kulwant Jani wrote the original, which debutants Nadeem-Shravan composed.

To say that Monali Thakur, Dev Negi, Raja, and Pravesh Mallick stepped into the massive shoes of the legendary Manna Dey [who (Ha)sang the original] would be preposterous.

Tanishk Bagchi composed the recreated version.

And he wrote it with Shabbir Ahmed.

The song was three minutes and 58 seconds long.


Jyotica joined Honey and Masti

While I usually exclude recreated songs, I do not know why I made an exception for the subject of this post.

It was titled Glassy 2.0, and it was a remake of Khadke Glassy.

Both those tracks were on the soundtrack of the 2019 film Jabariya Jodi.

While the remake – written by Kumaar – was a couple of minutes and 58 seconds long, it was composed by Ashok Masti and Ramji Gulati.

Masti was also one of the three people who lent their voices to it.

Jyotica Tangri and Yo Yo Honey Singh were the others.

Papon and Altamash rendered it

If the three tracks on the soundtrack of India’s Most Wanted were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you please), Vande Mataram would be the second – it was three minutes and 42 seconds long.

There is no two ways about the fact that it was appropriate, because the word centre is synonymous with middle, and the song is India’s national song.

The two men who sang it were Papon and Altamash Faridi.

Amitabh Bhattacharya penned the song.

(Am)It was composed by Trivedi.

Mr Negi sang this soNG

I skipped the longest song on the soundtrack of India’s Most Wanted*, but I included the shortest one – Dilbar Jani, which was three minutes and 10 seconds long.

Nikhita Gandhi and Dev Negi lent their voices to that track.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by the one and only Amit Trivedi.

(*Note: It was title Matvaare, and it was four minutes and 14 seconds long. Sanah Moidutty and Jubin Nautiyal sang it. I am still not sure how I can fit that track in if I decide to include it.)

It was an Abhijeet solo

My collection contained three songs from India’s Most Wanted, which released in 2019.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as the descending order of their durations, Akela would be the first – it was four minutes and a second long.

How appropriate was the fact that the song, whose title could be translated to, “Alone”, was the only solo on the soundtrack of the film?

The man who lent his voice to it was Abhijeet Srivastava.

The song, which was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by none other than Amit Trivedi.

 

 

 

Navraj sang it with Sunidhi

De De Pyaar De – the song from Sharaabi (1984) – inspired the title of a film that released in 2019.

My collection contained three songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Vaddi Sharaaban would the last (but that was purely coincidental).

But if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations (or the descending order, if you please), it would be the second – it was four minutes and 26 seconds long.

Navraj Hans joined Sunidhi Chauhan behind the microphone for the Vipin Patwa composition, which was written by Kumaar.

Nobody cared about thiS tRacK

My collection contained just one song from Veere Di Wedding, which released in 2018.

While the song had a Punjabi title (Bhangra Ta Sajda), its alternative title was in English.

And it summed up what most people think of Hindi film music these days – No One Gives a Damn!

The track, which was three minutes and 46 seconds long, was penned by Gaurav Solanki.

Shashwat Sachdev’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was also one of the three people who sang it.

Neha Kakkar Singh and Romy were the others.

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...
