It wASn’t original, but outstanding

My collection contains five songs from the 1990 film Dil.

But the soundtrack of the film had another fantastic song, which I hadn’t included in my playlist earlier.

It was titled O Priyaa Priyaa, and it was six minutes and three seconds long.

Anuradha Paudwal and Suresh Wadkar sang it.

Sameer wrote the Anand-Milind composition.

The song was inspired by a Telugu song titled Oh Priya Priya!

The Ilaiyaraaja composition was from a film titled Geethanjali, which released in 1989.

Veturi wrote the song, which was sung by K S Chithra and S P Balasubrahmanyam.

Ms Paudwal was the Sing(h)er

Paranda is a Punjabi phrase which could be translated to, “A decoration for a braid tassel”.

Therefore, Kaali Teri Choti Hai Paranda Tera Laal Ni – the only song from the 1990 film Bahaar Aane Tak on this blog – could be translated to, “Your braid is black, and the decoration for your braid tassel is red”.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was a great track from a film that bombed at the box office.

Anuradha Paudwal shared Sing(h)ing credits with Mangal for the song.

Indeevar wrote the Rajesh Roshan composition.

  

This Lata-Aziz duet was underrated

While Mohammed Aziz passed away in November 2018, Lata Mangeshkar passed away in February this year.

Bali Umar Ne Mera – from the 1990 film Awaargi – was an underrated song sung by the duo.

It would not be incorrect to state that it was the perfect track to dedicate to them to pay a joint tribute to them.

If I had to list the best Anu Malik compositions before the turning point in his career, the list would be very short. But this song – which Anand Bakshi wrote – would certainly make it to the top 10.
