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 15^th 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.
