Mazumdar’s item number was (b)lous(e)y

Women’s clothing have always inspired male songwriters in Hindi films.

And Sameer Anjaan was no different.

He wrote Jawaani Se Ab Jung Hone Lagi.

The next line of the item number went, “Yeh choli meri tang hone lagi”.

Spread across my blogs, it was the fourth song from Vaastav: The Reality (1999) in my collection, and it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that it was ‘tailor-made’ for titillation.

Four minutes and 44 seconds long, it was the second-longest of the lot, and the third alphabetically.

It was sung by Preetha Mazumdar, and composed by Jatin-Lalit.

Ms Yagnik’s solo was underrated

Before I downloaded Meri Raaton Ki Neendein Uda De, my collection contained five songs from Sarfarosh, which released in 1999.

With the addition of that song, I have now added all the six tracks from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 37 seconds long.

The Alka Yagnik solo was Indeevar’s only contribution as a lyricist to the film’s soundtrack.

It was written by Jatin-Lalit.

 

This song was a NameSake

The soundtrack of Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai – which released in 1981 – contained a song titled Poochho Na Yaar Kya Hua.

Its namesake featured on the soundtrack of Mast, which released in 1999.

In fact, the new song even contained a few lines from the original.

Therefore, it could be called a tribute to R D Burman (who composed the original) by Sandeep Chowta, who composed the song from Mast (which was not a Mast song by any stretch of the imagination).

The track was sung by Sadhana Sargam and Sonu Nigam.

Nitin Raikwar penned it.

 

 

Lata sang this adapted song

Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died at the age of 48 in London, England, on August 16, 1997.

One of his posthumous hits was the soundtrack of the 1999 film Kachche Dhaage (he composed all its songs).

Spread across my blogs, the subject of this post was the second song from the film.

The song in question was the female version of Tere Bin Nahin Jeena (a.k.a. Oopar Khuda Aasmaan Neeche).

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar.

It was a cover version of Khan’s popular qawwali, Tere Bin Nahin Lagda.

This Paudwal-Sanu duet became popular

Before I downloaded the subject of this post, my collection contained just one song from the 1999 film Daag: The Fire.

The second song from the film was Dil Deewana Na Jaane Kab Kho Gaya (which could be translated to, “I don’t know when my crazy heart got lost”).

There were two versions of the song on the soundtrack of the film.

But my collection contains just one – the duet, which was rendered by Anuradha Paudwal and Kumar Sanu.

The other was a Paudwal solo.

They were written by Sameer, and composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Shetty (Bhos)lent it her voice

My collection contains one song from Yamraaj (1998).

I never thought I would recall songs churned out by Mithun’s Dream Factory, which was located in Ooty in the 1990s, because no self-respecting Hindi film music buff would be caught dead listening to such tacky numbers.

But I must admit that Ude Ude Hain Hosh – the song in question – was a guilty pleasure.

Therefore, it became an addition to the songs from Jallaad (1995), Jurmana (1996) and Shapath (1997) in my collection.

Shweta Shetty and Sudesh Bhosle sang the song.

Dev Kohli wrote the Anand-Milind composition.

This Lata solo was underrated

When I heard Geela Geela Paani for the first time, I wondered what was going on in the brilliant mind of Gulzar, who wrote the song (which could literally be translated to, “Wet wet water”).

Spread across my blogs, the Vishal Bhardwaj composition was the fourth track from the 1998 film Satya.

However, if they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the Lata Mangeshkar solo would be the first.

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

 

Sheeba sang it with Baba

Memsaab O Memsaab was the second song from Miss 420 in my collection.

While the soundtrack of the film released in 1994, the film released four years later.

The version in my collection was Part 1 of the song.

It was sung by actress Sheeba Akashdeep – who was essaying the titular role in the film – and rapper Baba Sehgal (who was making his debut as an actor).

Sheeba also sang Part 2, for which she was joined behind the microphone by Anu Malik (who also composed the songs of the film).

Shaily Shailendra wrote it.

MaNY people would’ve excluded it

Although most of the songs of Duplicate (1998) were hits, there was one that wouldn’t have been on many people’s playlists.

And, to be honest, even I had excluded it simply because I hadn’t heard it in a long time.

The track in question was Tum Nahin Jaana.

Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan were joined behind the microphone for it by Shankar Mahadevan.

It was written by Javed Akhtar, and composed by Anu Malik.

That was the fifth song from the film (spread across my blogs), and it was haff-a-dozen minutes and 48 seconds long.  

Vinod JuSt had a ball

Upon reconnecting with a former co-worker with whom I shared a fondness for Govinda films from the 1990s, I recalled that he loved the songs of Aunty No. 1, which released in 1998.

I was familiar with the over-the-top songs of the film but had consciously avoided including them in my collection – until I stumbled upon Reshmi Rumaal Wala.

That was when I realised Vinod Rathod must have had a blast singing for the actor.

Jyotsna and Sumati joined him behind the microphone.

The song, which was written by Sameer Anjaan, was composed by Anand-Milind.

Unsurprisingly, Chithra’s rendition was mind-blowing

With the Indian T20 league underway, and Shahrukh Khan being the owner of one of the teams, it would not be incorrect that spread across my blogs, the number of songs from the 1997 film Pardes in my collection would be the musical equivalent of a six.

The subject of this post was Jahan Piya Wahan Main.

It was, in fact, the first – and only – song rendered by K S Chithra under the baton of Nadeem Akhtar Saifi and the late Shravan Kumar Rathod.

The song was written by the one and only Anand Bakshi.

Sadhana San(u)g this song too

Put 1997, Sadhana Sargam and Anand-Milind in the same sentence again, and what you get is the subject of this post.

The song in question was Tum Bin Mann Ki Baat Adhoori, and spread across my blogs, it was the second song from Mrityudand in my collection.

Kumar Sanu joined her behind the microphone for it.

It would not be incorrect to state that it was an underrated song, and I remembered it vaguely when I heard it on the radio recently (but I had to look it up online).

Javed Akhtar wrote the song.

(Ud)It was sung by Sadhana

This is the second track from the No. 1 film series (starring Govinda) on this blog.

The song in question was Mohabbat Ki Nahin Jaati, and it was from the 1997 film Hero No. 1.

(Ud)It was sung by Sadhana Sargam and Narayan.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that lyricist Sameer and composers Anand-Milind hit a six with this song (because that was the number of songs from the film, spread across my blogs).

But it was the longest song on the soundtrack of the film – it was five minutes and 50 seconds long. 

Govinda sang this (Ba)appalling song

Do Ankhen Barah Haath – which released in 1997 – had nothing in common with its 1957 namesake with do As, which was directed by the legendary V Shantaram.

In fact, the only song from the former in my collection was Tere Baap Ko.

In the appalling song, Govinda sang about meeting (and greeting) a girl’s father at Mumbai’s Bandra railway station.

He added that the latter invited him home for a cup of tea, which meant it was a match.

Govinda then asked her to join him for a movie.

Indeevar penned the Bappi Lahiri composition.

Poornima sang this run-of-the-mill Son(u)g

When I heard, “Hungama ho gaya”, I thought to myself, “That is definitely a song which failed to create any hungama”.

Spread across my blogs, it was the fourth song from Deewana Mastana (which released in 1997).

As far as the duo who rendered it (Poornima and Sonu Nigam), it was their only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

The film was produced by Ketan Desai, and dedicated to his father, Manmohan Desai.

Therefore, it was only fitting that the song was written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal (all Desai Sr.’s associates).

This Abhijeet solo became popular

The subject of this post – Yaaron Na Jaane Mujhe Kya Ho Gaya – was another song that enjoyed considerable airtime on television circa 1996.

That was the year the film – Yash – released.

The song was rendered by none other than Mr Bhattacharya, and its next line could just as well have been, “Abhijeet ka yeh gaana toh hit ho gaya”.

By the way, the film’s title could be translated to fame, and besides the crooner, the only other person who became famous was Mehboob Alam Kotwal, who wrote it.

The song was composed by Tabun Sutradhar.

Sulakshana Joined Udit for it

Including the subject of this post, my collection contains seven songs from Khamoshi: The Musical, which released in 1996.

I was actually torn between Jaana Suno (the Udit Narayan solo) and Saagar Kinare Bhi Do Dil Hain Pyaase.

But since my collection already contained many Narayan solos, I picked the latter, because he was joined behind the microphone for it by the Pandit siblings – Sulakshana (who was also a former Hindi film actress) and Jatin (who also composed the song with Lalit).

The song, which was exactly half-a-dozen minutes long, was written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

  

(Ud)It was A lengthY duet

I was aways of the opinion that Yaara O Yaara was the only song on the soundtrack of Jeet (1996) that I was aware of, because it was one of the most popular songs at that point.

But I recently heard another song from the film that I had long forgotten.

It was titled Saanson Ka Chalna, and it was sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan.

Spread across my blogs, it was the longer of the two songs from the film – it was seven minutes and 22 seconds long.

Sameer wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

Indeed, this song was UnderrAted

Fareb released in 1996.

Spread across my blogs, my collection contains three songs from the film (including the subject of this post).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, O Humsafar Dil Ke Nagar would be the second of those.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was half-a-dozen minutes and 37 seconds long.

Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan rendered it.

By no means would it be incorrect to state the song – which was written by Neeraj, and composed by Jatin-Lalit – was underrated.

Unsurprisingly, this trAcK made headlines

While there were plagiarised songs in Hindi films even in the Golden Era, Anu Malik’s name has been linked with the (mal)practice most often.

But he crossed the limits of being inspired when he lifted Hatikvah, the national anthem of Israel.

He was trolled for his composition, titled Mera Mulk Mera Desh.

It was from the 1996 film Diljale.

My collection contains just one of its three versions – the duet, sung by Kumar Sanu and Aditya Narayan.

While Sanu rendered the sad male version, Kavita Krishnamurthy sang the sad female version.

Javed Akhtar wrote them.

This Kavita-Udit duet became popular

While I heard most of the previous songs in this blog on the radio, the subject of this post was a song I was vaguely familiar with, thanks to its repeated telecasts in the 1990s.

The song was Raat Chhoti Baat Badi.

And it was the only song from Sanjay (1995) in my collection.

Kavita Krishnamurthy – who could be called the voice of the film’s soundtrack – sang the female portion of the song.

And she was joined behind the microphone for it by Udit Narayan.

Satish Sharma wrote the song, which was composed by Shyam-Surender.

This song didn’t R(a)ock, Man(n)!

Chak Lange – a song with a Punjabi title – was the only song from Ram Shastra, which released in 1995, in my collection.

Though I obviously don’t know what it translates to, I was vaguely familiar with the song, because it used to be telecast in the mid-1990s.

It was written by Maya Govind, who passed away on April 7, 2022.

The Anu Malik composition was sung by pop stars Suneeta Rao and Gurdas Maan.

Given the fact that this quartet was involved in it, the song should have been popular.

But, it was rather underwhelming.

Poornima sang it with Sanu

My blog on the music of Hindi films that released in the 1990s contained four songs from Coolie No. 1, which released in 1995.

The fifth song from the film was the subject of this post.

It was titled Jeth Ki Dopahri Mein.

If the five songs from the film were arranged in the alphabetical order, it was the fourth.

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

Poornima sang it with Kumar Sanu.

Sameer Anjaan wrote the Anand-Milind composition.

This Sonu solo was (Nig)amazing

Bewafa Sanam released in 1995.

My collection contains a couple of tracks from the film.

They included the subject of this post – Ishq Mein Hum Tumhein Kya Batayein.

It could be translated to, “How do I describe the pain falling in love has caused me?”

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was one of the best tracks about heartbreak in Hindi films.

It was sung by a young Sonu Nigam, and was four minutes and 33 seconds long.

The song, which was written by Akalakh Sagri, was composed by Nikhil-Vinay.

 

Sulakhe sang this run-of-the-mill Son(u)g

My earliest memories of Sonu Nigam are from the days he hosted Sa Re Ga Ma, and from credits of albums containing cover versions of Mohammed Rafi’s songs.

He and Bela Sulakhe teamed up for a song titled Choodiyan Banti Hain.

It was the only song from Aazmayish (1995) in my collection.

Mohan Kumar – renowned for producing films beginning with the letter A – produced the film to launch his son, Rohit Kumar.

The song was written by Anand Bakshi, and composed by Anand-Milind.

Sachin Pilgaonkar, who directed this film, introduced Nigam to the Shrivastava brothers.

(Ud)It was a vulgar song

If there was a playlist containing the most vulgar songs in Hindi films, the subject of this post would certainly make it to the list.

It was titled Rat Song.

It happened to be the only song from Yaar Gaddar (1994) in my collection.

Even the most ardent fan of Anu Malik, who composed it, didn’t want to be the guinea pig for this experiment (to assault the listeners).

The song was rendered by Udit Narayan.

Dev Kohli wrote it.

Thankfully, it didn’t make it to my YouTube series titled Animals in Hindi film songs.

 

It was S(an)ung by Sadhana

Including the subject of this post, this was the third track from Vijaypath, which released in 1994.

But there were three differences between this song – which Anu Malik composed – and the others.

Firstly, this song began with the letter A (Aayiye Aapka Intezaar Tha), unlike the other two (which began with the letter R).

Secondly, it was written by Faaiz Anwar.

While Shyam Anuragi wrote one of the others, Zameer Kazmi wrote the other.

And thirdly, Sadhana Sargam shared singing credits with Kumar Sanu for this song.

Alka Yagnik and Sanu sang the other two.

Mr Rathod sang Arun-of-the-mill song

Spread across my blogs, my collection contains a couple of songs from Laadla, which released in 1994.

While one of those was a male solo, the subject of this post – Boi Boi – was a male duet.

Udit Narayan sang most of the songs (including the other song from the film in my collection), but Vinod Rathod and Arun Bakshi sang this one.

Although it was a run-of-the-mill song, it became popular (as was the case with many songs with gibberish).

The song was written by Sameer Anjaan, and was composed by the Shrivastava brothers, Anand-Milind.

ThiS(a)number was sung by Poornima

Gopi Kishan released in 1994.

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

It was titled Chhatri Na Khol Barsaat Mein.

And all the people credited with the song were involved with Hai Hukku Hai.

It was sung by Poornima and Kumar Sanu.

The song was written by Sameer, and was composed by the Shrivastava brothers, Anand-Milind.

(P.S.: The rains are still over a month away. But if the song were rewritten keeping the current weather in mind, it would be titled Chhatri Toh Khol Garmi Mein.)

Sargam’s solo didn’t impress Kolhapurkars

Main Kolhapur Se Aayi Hoon wasn’t the first time Madhuri Dixit returned to her Maharashtrian roots in the 1990s.

But unlike Humko Aaj Kal Hai Intezaar from Sailaab (1990), this song – from Anjaam (1994) – was a run-of-the-mill track.

If the three songs from the film – spread across my blogs – were arranged in the alphabetical order, and the descending order of their durations, it would be the last – it was five minutes and eight seconds long.

Unsurprisingly, Dixit’s lavni was the highlight of the Sadhana Sargam solo, which was written by Sameer, and composed by Anand-Milind.

Mukherjee was the APt choice

This song is what today’s generation of social media users would call a late post.

But yesterday – April 30, 2022 – was the second death anniversary of legendary actor Rishi Kapoor.

The subject of this post is Sahibaan Meri Sahibaan, the title track of Sahibaan (which released in 1993, and was the penultimate Hindi film for which Shiv-Hari composed the music).

It is, in fact, the only song from the film in my collection.

The track, which was written by Anand Bakshi, was rendered by Anuradha Paudwal and Jolly Mukherjee (whose voice suited that of Kapoor).

Asha and Vinod sang it

My collection contains a couple of songs from the 1993 film Pehla Nasha (including the subject of this post).

It was titled Tu Hai Haseena.

Vinod Rathod was one of the two people who lent the song his voice.

That was not a surprise, because he was the only male singer credited on the soundtrack of the film.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by the one and only Asha Bhosle.

The track was written by Anand Bakshi.

It was composed by the Vora brothers, the late Neeraj Vora and Uttankk V Vora.

Sargam sang this (Bhos)lengthy song

The subject of this post is the third song from Dil Tera Aashiq, which released in 1993.

It was titled Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai, and the longest of the all – it was eight minutes and 26 seconds long.

Interestingly, Sameer thought, “Aapko”, the last word of the first line, rhymed with an English line that went, “I’ve never been in love before”.

Unlike the other two songs from the film in my collection, this one wasn’t sung by Alka Yagnik – Sadhana Sargam was joined behind the microphone for it by Sudesh Bhosle.

Nadeem-Shravan composed it.

Asha San(u)g this run-of-the-mill song

If the three songs from Aaina (1993) – spread across my blogs – were arranged in the alphabetical order, Meri Saanson Mein Tum would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and 57 seconds long.

While the female portions of the previous two tracks were rendered by Lata Mangeshkar, that of this song was sung by Asha Bhosle.

She was joined behind the microphone by Kumar Sanu.

The song, which was written by Sameer, was sung by Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen.

Unfortunately, (Am)it lowered the bar

August 15 – India’s Independence Day – is a dry day (i.e., a day when the sale of alcohol at stores and eateries is prohibited).

But my collection contained one song from 15th August, which released in 1993. It was titled Rum Aur Coca-Cola.

I had read about the song in a magazine long ago, and was underwhelmed when I eventually listened to it, but I would like to dedicate it to my friends whose poison of choice is Old Monk and cola.

(Am)It was sung by Mr Kumar.

V K Sood wrote the Rajan Arvind composition.

Sachin sang it with Kavita

Spread across my blogs, Yeh Ho Raha Hai was the second track from Prem Deewane, which released in 1992.

Yeh’ referred to love, but the song made no mention of any word that could be translated to love.

The next two-and-a-half lines of the song – which was written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal – went, “Yeh ho na jaaye, yeh ho gaya toh woh ho na jaaye, woh ho gaya toh haaye haaye haaye haaye”.

The film was directed by actor Sachin Pilgaonkar, who also shared singing credits with Kavita Krishnamurthy for the song.

This was a short trAcK

Mashooq released in 1992.

The most popular song on the soundtrack was Kaun Ho Tum Jo Dil Mein Samaye Jaate Ho (which could be translated to, “Who are you, the person who has made his way into my heart?”)

The shortest song in the film, it was four minutes and a second long.

Although Shyam-Surender were not A-list music directors, it would not be incorrect to state that this song proved to be a breakthrough in their career, which didn’t last too long.

Gauhar Kanpuri wrote the song, which Kavita Krishnamurthy and Abhijeet Bhattacharya sang.

This was a reflective (Sa)number

Spread across my blogs, the subject of this post – Aaine Ke Sau Tukde – was the second song from Maa, which released in 1992, in my collection.

The Kumar Sanu solo was seven minutes and two seconds long.

Hasrat Jaipuri wrote the Anu Malik composition, whose opening verse went, “Aaine ke sau tukde karke humne dekhe hain, ek mein bhi tanha hain, sau mein bhi akele hain” (which could be translated to, “I broke the mirror into a hundred pieces and saw myself in it. I am lonely in one piece, and alone in a hundred”).

Unsurprisingly, (Sa)numerous hearts were won

This is the second song from Dil Ka Kya Kasoor (1992) in my collection.

And both of them have a couple of similarities.

Firstly, they were both Kumar Sanu solos.

And secondly, both were composed by Nadeem-Shravan.

Of course, it is imperative to mention the two differences between them too.

Unlike the other song from the film in my collection, this one was written by Anwar Sagar.

And although it was the film’s title track, its opening line was, “Aashiqui mein har aashiq ho jaata hai majboor” (which means, “In love, every lover is compelled”).

It was another Sargam-Sanu duet

Before I downloaded the subject of this post, my collection contained five songs from the 1992 film Deewana.

I recently heard another song from the film – Teri Isi Ada Pe Sanam.

It was the second song starting with the word Teri in the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the Nadeem-Shravan composition – which Sadhana Sargam and Kumar Sanu sang – would be the fifth.

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

Sameer wrote it.

It waS a Memorable tracK

Just one letter separates the first word of the subject of this post from the two words that follow it.

I am talking about Saudagar Sauda Kar, the title track of Saudagar (1991).

Spread across my blogs, it was the fourth song from the film in my collection.

It was a pretty long track – it was seven minutes and 54 seconds long.

But it has also stayed in Hindi film music buffs’ memories for a long time.

Kavita Krishnamurthy shared Sing(h)ing credits with Manhar Udhas and Sukhwinder for it.

Anand Bakshi wrote the Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition.

This was a SuPerB song

It was because I had omitted this song earlier that I created this blog, and a playlist appropriately titled Oversights from the 1990s.

The track in question was Pehli Baar Mile Hain, and spread across my blogs, it is now the seventh song from Saajan (1991).

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the S P Balasubrahmanyam solo was the third from the bottom.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it was the third-longest- it was six minutes and 16 seconds long.

Faaiz Anwar wrote the Nadeem-Shravan composition.

This song was Sure(sh)ly underrated

Spread across my blogs, Dhadkan Zara Ruk Gayi Hai was the second song from Prahaar: The Final Attack, which released in 1991.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was an underrated gem.

Unlike Hamari Hi Mutthi Mein (the Manna Dey solo from the film), which was a motivational song for children, this was a romantic number.

It was rendered by Suresh Wadkar.

The shorter of the two songs from the film in my collection, it was five minutes and 31 seconds long.

Mangesh Kulkarni wrote the song, which Laxmikant-Pyarelal composed.

It was an audio-visual TreAt

Dhun was supposed to release in 1991, but it has not seen the light of day.

However, the title of the film was apt, because Dhun is the Hindi word for tune.

My collection contains just one song from the film – Laagi Prem Dhun Laagi.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to call it an audio-visual treat, because the song was sung by and picturised on Talat Aziz, who is not just a popular ghazal singer, but also good-looking.

The song was written by Anand Bakshi, and was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.

Aziz (Bhos)lent it his voice

One of the films that starred Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor was Ajooba, which released in 1991.

The film was directed by Shashi Kapoor (who was a frequent co-star of the former, and the younger paternal uncle of the latter).

The only song from the film in my collection was Arre Tajjub Hai.

But there was no tajjub (surprise) in the fact that Sudesh Bhosle sang Bachchan’s portion.

And Rishi lip-synched to the voice of Mohammed Aziz.

The track, which was written by Anand Bakshi, was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.

JUSt about anybody could relate

Shiva was a Hindi film that released in 1990.

It was the remake of a Telugu film that released in 1989.

Ram Gopal Varma both of them.

In fact, they marked his debuts in the respective languages.

The only song from the film in my collection was Botany Chhodenge Matinee Dekhenge.

Even if one wasn’t a student of botany, he/she could relate to it if he/she ever bunked classes to watch the afternoon show of a film at the cinema.

S Janaki, Suresh Wadkar and Udit Narayan sang them.

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the Ilaiyaraaja composition.

(Am)It was sung by Sadhana

Spread across my blogs, the subject of this post is the fourth track from Kishen Kanhaiya, which released in 1990.

The song in question was Aap Ko Dekh Ke*.

(Am)It was the second contribution of both Mr Kumar and Sadhana Sargam – the duo who lent it their voices – to the soundtrack of the film.

Anwar Sagar wrote the song, which was composed by Rajesh Roshan.

[*Note: I did not understand why Dekh Ke (which could be translated to, “Seeing”) was followed by Dekh Dekh Ke (which could be translated to, “Observing and then following someone”).]

Mazumdar’s item number was (b)lous(e)y

Women’s clothing have always inspired male songwriters in Hindi films. And Sameer Anjaan was no different. He wrote Jawaani Se Ab Jung Hone ...
