It was bizarre but K(avit)atchy

Telephone Dhun Mein Hansnewaali must have conjured up the image of a woman whose laugh sounded like a ringing telephone.

But since that didn’t have a nice ring to it, it must have amused the listeners no end. 

The song, which was from Hindustani, was six minutes and 15 seconds long.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the song, which P K Mishra penned, became popular because it was absurd (Can someone explain what its second line, Melbourne Macchli Machalnewaali, meant?)

A R Rahman composed it.

It was rendered by Hariharan and Kavita Krishnamurthy.

Swarnalatha didn’t leave anybody SPellBound

P K Mishra treated the listeners to some alliteration when he penned Maya Macchindra.

Five words of the opening line of the track from Hindustani, which was five minutes and 37 seconds long, began with M. These included the two aforementioned words. The others were, “Mujhpe mantar mat.”

By no stretch of the imagination was the song, which was composed by A R Rahman, mind-blowing, but it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that it enjoyed its fair share of popularity.

It was rendered by S P Balasubrahmanyam, who was joined behind the microphone by Swarnalatha.

Indeed, it waS(warnalath)a (Lat)katchy track

Hindustani, which released in 1996, was the Hindi version of Indian, a Tamil film which released the same year.

It is indeed interesting that Latka Dikha Diya Humne was the only song on its soundtrack that had a couple of versions. Both were five minutes and 52 seconds long.

This blog contains a post on just one – the one rendered by Swarnalatha.

The other version was sung by actress and singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi.

Both the versions of the song, which was catchy, were penned by P K Mishra.

They were composed by A R Rahman.

It was (Rahm)another dubbed chartbuster

Duniya Dilwalon Ki, which released in 1996, was the dubbed version of Kadhal Desam, a Tamil film that released the same year.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that Mustafa Mustafa – the Hindi version of the song of the same name – was the most popular song on its soundtrack.

P K Mishra penned the track, which was about friendship.

In fact, there was an English line at the beginning of the song, which went, “Friendship is what we're looking for.” Indeed, everybody is.

A R Rahman didn’t just compose the track, but also rendered it.
