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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
