This trAcK received no ‘(Hel)lo’ve

Aakrosh released in 1998.

There was just one song from the film.

And I remembered just a couple of lines of it when I created this playlist.

It was titled Hello Hello Bolke.

Unfortunately, no one really warmed up to the song, to which a couple of singers lent their voices.

While one was Kavita Krishnamurthy, the other was Abhijeet Bhattacharya.

The song was written by Dev Kohli.

Just like the repetitions of the word ‘Hello’ in its title, there were a couple of Anands in the name of the music director – Anand Raaj Anand.

Sanu sang this underrated solo

Uff is an interjection used by Indians to express a rage of emotions, including disgust and relief.

While Uff! Yeh Mohabbat (1997) elicited the former, there was one song from the film that elicited sighs of the latter.

It was an underrated song titled Utra Na Dil Mein Koi.

And that man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Kumar Sanu.

Though he sang four of the songs in the film, only this one was a solo.

It was written by Rani Malik, and composed by Nikhil Kamath and Vinay Tiwari.

This was another Yagnik-Sanu duet

There was just one difference between the subject of the previous post and that of this one.

And that, obviously, was the title of the song – Ishq Mein Mere Rabba.

Now, let us look at the four things those songs have in common.

Firstly, both of them were from Sanam.

Secondly, the lady who lent her voice to this song was the one and only Alka Yagnik, who was joined behind the microphone for it by Kumar Sanu.

Thirdly, it was written by Sameer Anjaan.

And lastly, it was composed by the Srivastava brothers, Anand-Milind.

ThiS(a)number was sung by Yagnik

While Sanam released in 1997, the film’s soundtrack released in 1993.

My collection contained a couple of songs from the film (which, incidentally, made it to Cibaca Geetmala’s Annual List for 1993).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Aankhon Mein Neendein Na Dil would be the first.

In fact, it was obviously the first song on the soundtrack of the film.

The two people who lent the song their voices were Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.

The song, which was penned by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by the Srivastava brothers, Anand and Milind.

It was sUNg by Sargam

When I compiled my playlist containing Hindi film songs that referenced birds, I had not heard the subject of this post.

It was titled Dil Junglee Kabootar.

And it was the only song from Qahar (1997) in my collection.

On one hand, I was trying to wrap my head around the reason a person would liken his heart to a wild pigeon.

And on the other, I was looking up the lyricist’s name – by the way, it was Anand Bakshi.

The song, which was written by Anand-Milind, was sung by Sadhana Sargam and Udit Narayan.

Three (Fal)‘guni’ Sing(h)ers San(u)g this

Koyla released in 1997 (and was, in fact, the first Hindi film I went to a cinema hall to watch).

There were four songs from the film in my collection.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Badan Juda Hote Hain would be the first – it was a whopping ten-and-a-half minutes long.

Kumar Sanu as joined behind the microphone for it by ‘The Dandiya Queen’, Falguni Pathak, and Preeti Singh, the daughter of composer Uttam Singh.

Indeevar wrote the song, which Rajesh Roshan composed.

It was S(an)ung by Sargam

Hameshaa released in 1997.

My collection contained a couple of tracks from the film, including the subject of this post.

It happened to be the title track of the film, Hameshaa Hameshaa.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 54 seconds long.

Sadhana Sargam, the female voice of the soundtrack, lent it her voice.

She was joined behind the microphone for it by Kumar Sanu.

Rahat Indori wrote the song, which Anu Malik composed.
