Balasubrahmanyam sang a C(hithr)atchy track

A R Rahman composed Roop Suhana Lagta Hai, the shortest song on the soundtrack of The Gentleman.

It was four minutes and 45 seconds long.

There is no doubt that the song was one of the catchiest tracks from the remake phase of the wunderkind’s career.

It was penned by Indeewar, who was 70 when the film released. Of course, he was young at heart.

S P Balasubrahmanyam and K S Chithra rendered the track, which was sampled by international artistes, including Indonesian and French singer Anggun and Sri Lankan Briton rapper M I A.

Sadhana’s rendition got everyone’s (Vi)nod

The Gentleman, which released in 1994, was the Hindi remake of Gentleman, the Tamil film that released the previous year.

Three of the six tracks on its soundtrack were composed by A R Rahman.

A couple of these were popular. One of them was Aashiqui Mein Had Se.

Penned by Rajan Khera, it was the second-shortest song in the film – it was four minutes and 46 seconds long.

Vinod Rathod and Sadhana Sargam rendered it.

Incidentally, they also sang the second-longest song in the film – Hum Apne Gham Ko. It was composed by Anu Malik.
