Aslam certainly did A(ti)fine job

Regardless of the song, I have a broad smile on my face when I see a film whose title begins with a letter that would fetch me a high score in a game of Scrabble.

One such film was Qarib Qarib Singlle, which released in 2017.

And the song was Jaane De, the last song on the blog.

The Atif Aslam solo was four minutes and 59 seconds long.

Raj Shekhar wrote the song, which earned Vishal Mishra a nomination in the Upcoming Music Composer of the Year category at the 10^th Mirchi Music Awards.    

This waZ aN underrated song

While my collection contains two songs from the 2016 song Fitoor, I hadn’t heard the subject of this post.

And by no means would it be incorrect to state that Hone Do Batiyaan was an underrated song.

It was four-and-a-half minutes long, and was sung by Nandini Srikar and Zeb Bangash.

Swanand Kirkire penned the song, which Amit Trivedi composed.

(Fun fact: This song made it to this playlist for a weird reason – upto this point, none of the tracks on it was from a film that released in a year that ended with 6.)

Trivedi rendered this quirky TRack

I happened to listen to a song titled Motorwada on a YouTube show recently.

When I looked it up on Google, I found out that it was from a film whose title was a quirky as that of the song – Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, which released in 2012.

The involvement of Amit Trivedi in the song was not restricted to composing it, but he was one of the two people who rendered it as well.

Tochi Raina joined him behind the microphone.

The song was written by Shailendra Singh Sodhi (commonly known as Shellee).

Kailash showed his class again

When I first heard Bismillah, I thought it was a non-film song.

But when I searched for it on Google later, I found out that it was from a film – Aazaan, which released in 2011.

It was rendered by the one and only Kailash Kher, and by no means would it be incorrect to state that it was a mind-blowing song.

One of the two songs in the film that did not have multiple versions, it was written by Irfan Siddique, and was composed by Salim-Sulaiman.

The track was three minutes and 57 seconds long

Ms Ghoshal sang thiS(on)underrated track

By no means would it be incorrect to state that Ishq Hua was the most underrated song on the soundtrack of Aaja Nachle (which released in 2007).

The song was four minutes and 24 seconds long.

By the way, my collection contains three other songs from the film.

Jaideep Sahni – who wrote a couple of those – penned this track as well.

It was Shreya Ghoshal’s second consecutive song on this blog, but she was joined behind the microphone for this one by none other than Sonu Nigam.

The Merchant brothers, Salim and Sulaiman, composed it.

 

Ms Ghoshal S(ha)ang this song

Tumsa Nahin Dekha: A Love Story released in 2004.

My blog on the music of Hindi films that released between 2000 and 2009 contained just one song from the film.

The subject of this post was another song from the film.

It was titled Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai, and it was five minutes and 51 seconds long (which is eight seconds shorter than Bheed Mein Tanhai Mein).

Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan rendered the song, whose remixed version was six minutes and three seconds long.

Those tracks were written by Sameer, and was composed by Nadeem-Shravan.  

Supriyo’s solo certainly wasn’t superb

Hitherto, my collection contained three songs from Hungama, which released in 2003.

The subject of this post – Pari Pari – is the fourth track from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the song, which was rendered by Babul Supriyo, would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 48 seconds long.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that it was a run-of-the-mill song, which was written by Sameer, and composed by Nadeem-Shravan.
