Reshammiya (Hime)shouldn’t have rendered it

Sadly, it has become pretty apparent that the team behind the soundtrack of The Body (2019) has taken Aksar – which means often, and was also the title of a 2006 film – too seriously.

While Jhalak Dikhlaja was the most popular track in the latter, its remixed version – titled Jhalak Dikhlaja Reloaded – is the only song from the former on this blog.

Just two minutes and 28 seconds long, it was composed by none other than Tanishk Bagchi.

As was the case with the original, this version was penned by Sameer and rendered by Himesh Reshammiya.

This single was reK(akka)reated too

The soundtrack of Pati Pati Aur Woh featured a recreation of Dheeme Dheeme, a single that released in 2019.

Contrary to its title (which could be translated to, “Slowly”), there’s no two ways about the fact that the song – which was rendered by the Kakkars, Tony (who sang the original) and Neha – became popular quickly.

The former was one of the three who penned the film version as well. The others were Tanishk Bagchi and MellowD.

Tony teamed up with Bagchi to compose the track, which was a couple of minutes and 57 seconds long.

Mika Singh was the (Tul)singer

The dismay of the 1990s kid has resurfaced, and no prizes for guessing that Tanishk Bagchi deserves the blame for that.

On this occasion, he recreated Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare, the chartbuster from Dulhe Raja (1998).

Three minutes and 26 seconds long, it featured on the soundtrack of Pati Patni Aur Woh, which was the 2019 remake of the 1978 film of the same name.

That did make sense – the dulhe raja (groom) is the pati (husband).

Jokes apart, the track, which was penned by Shabbir Ahmed, was rendered by Mika Singh and Tulsi Kumar.

  

Ganjawala did an outstandiNG job

This blog contains a post on one track from Panipat, which released in 2019.

The song in question was Mann Mein Shiva, and it happened to be the shortest song in the film – it was five minutes and 17 seconds long.

It was penned by the one and only Javed Akhtar, and composed by the Gogavale brothers, Ajay-Atul.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that Kunal Ganjawala, who is seldom heard on Hindi film soundtracks now, did a marvellous job.

He was joined behind the microphone by Deepanshi Nagar and Padmanabh Gaikwad.  

Ms Bhanushali rendereD(ilj)it with Sukhbir

Having grown up in the 1990s, I was exposed to Indipop in general, and bhangra in particular.

And, undoubtedly, one of the most popular exponents of the said genre was Sukhbir, who rendered Sauda Khara Khara.

A recreated version of the track featured on the soundtrack of Good Newwz. It was the longer of the two songs from the film on this blog – it was three minutes and 31 seconds long.

The song, which was penned by Kumaar, was composed by Lijo George, DJ Chetas and Sukhbir, who rendereD(ilj)it with Dhvani Bhanushali and Mr Dosanjh.

This quintet had a BLAST

Good Newwz released in 2019.

This blog contains posts on a couple of tracks from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Chandigarh Mein would be the first – it was three minutes and 25 seconds long.

The involvement of the one and only Tanishk Bagchi wasn’t restricted to composing it (with Badshah), but he penned it too.

Incidentally, the latter was credited as one of the four people who rendered it too. The others were Asees Kaur, Lisa Mishra and Harrdy Sandhu.

Payal Sa(lma)ng it with Khan

Salman Khan – who, as Chulbul Pandey, is the face of the Dabangg series – not only has the financial muscle (as was evidenced by the fact that he co-produced Dabangg 3), but also exercised his vocal chords for the sixth – and final – song in the film, Yu Karke (if they were arranged in the alphabetical order).

He was joined behind the microphone by Payal Dev.

The song, which was penned by Danish Sabri, was composed by Sajid-Wajid, and was the shortest track on the soundtrack of the film – it was three minutes and 45 seconds long.
