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.

 

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.  

(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.

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 ...
