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.

 

 

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 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.
