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 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.
