It was a Shinde solo

I hadn’t heard any of the songs from Malaal, which released in 2019.

Until recently.

A few days ago, I happened to listen to Udhal Ho, which went on to become the only song from the film in my collection.

The song, which Sanjay Leela Bhansali composed, was rendered by Adarsh Shinde.

It was written by Prashant Ingole (who wrote four other solos in the film, and another song in tandem with A M Turaz).

Interestingly, it was the longest song on the soundtrack of the film – it was three minutes and 34 seconds long.

ThiS waS a POoR Medley

Rafta Rafta – a song from Kahami Kismat Ki (1973) – was recreated for Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se (2018).

It was originally picturised on Rekha and Dharmendra [on whom Yamla Pagla Deewana – from Pratiggya (1975) – was picturised].

She happened to be one of the six people who rendered the song from the 2018 film, which was titled Rafta Rafta Medley.

The other was actress Sonakshi Sinha, Vishal Mishra, Disha Patel, Jordi Patel and Akash Ojha.

Incidentally, Mishra composed it as well.

The song, which was written by Kunwar Juneja, was four minutes and 57 seconds long.

Ms Chauhan sang (Kum)arecreated song

My collection contained one track from Fanney Khan, which released in 2018.

And the subject of this post happened to be the second song from the film.

Interestingly, both the songs from it in my collection were recreated versions of old songs.

The second song from the film was Halka Halka.

It was the recreated version of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Yeh Jo Halka Halka Suroor Hai.

Sunidhi Chauhan was joined behind the microphone for the song by Divya Kumar.

Irshad Kamil wrote the Amit Trivedi composition, which was four minutes and seven seconds long.

Royal composed and rendered it

My collection contained two songs from Phillauri, which released in 2017.

And the subject of this post was the third song from it.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Din Shagna Da would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order (or the descending order, for that matter), it would be the second – it was three minutes and 36 seconds long.

Jasleen Royal’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but she sang it too.

Neeraj Rajawat penned the song, which was a staple at Punjabi weddings.

This was another Arijit solo

M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story released in 2016.

My collection contained three songs from the film.

And the subject of this post is the fourth track on its soundtrack.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Phir Kabhi would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 47 seconds long.

The man who lent his voice to it was none other than Arijit Singh.

The song, which was written by Manoj Muntashir, was composed by Amaal Mallik.

It certainly was not (Asl)amazing

My collection contained a couple of songs from Baaghi 2, which released in 2016.

And the subject of this post was the third song from the film in it.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the latter – O Saathi – 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 12 seconds long.

Arko Pravo Mukherjee’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to writing it, but he composed it too.

However, he didn’t sing it.

Atif Aslam did.

Pandit Birju Maharaj SanG it

The 2015 film Bajirao Mastani was one of the few films I have watched at the cinema hall, and my collection contained five tracks from it before I added the subject of this post.

The sixth song from the film in my collection was Mohe Rang Do Laal.

Do (two) was the number of people who wrote it, and the number of people who lent it their voices.

Siddharth-Garima were the lyricists, and Shreya Ghoshal and Pandit Birju Maharaj rendered it.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali composed the song, which was three minutes and 52 seconds long.
