UnQuestionably, this tRaCk was Mind-blowing

Of the four tracks from Guru on this blog, Tere Bina was the shortest – it was five minutes and nine seconds long.

Dum dara dum dara mast mast was not just a line from the song, but also an instruction. There’s no doubt that the song was a must-listen, because it was mast.

It was penned by Gulzar.

A R Rahman didn’t just compose the song, but was also credited as the singer.

He was joined behind the microphone by Chinmayi Sripaada.

The aforementioned duo was backed by a couple of Khans – Murtaza and Qadir.

It was a (Marye)marvellous T(olla)raCK

Following the stupendous success of the song from Guru, it wouldn’t have been incorrect to remark, “Sab moh-Mayya hai, hAR taraf Rahman ka hi music chhaya hai” (which could be translated to, “Everything is an illusion. Only the music of A R Rahman is making waves all over.”)

The song, which was penned by Gulzar, was six minutes and a couple of seconds long.

Seductive and incredibly catchy, it was rendered by Maryem Tollar, who was born in Cairo, Egypt.

She was joined behind the microphone by an Indian pair (Chinmayi Sripaada and Keerthi Sagathia).

Shreya took her sonG(hosh)alevel up

Barso Re wasn’t just a song from Guru, but could also have been an instruction to the compliments that were showered upon the team that collaborated to make it the mind-blowing number it turned out to be.

Gulzar penned the track, which was five minutes and 29 seconds long.

A R Rahman bagged the Filmfare Award, the International Indian Film Academy Award, the Star Screen Award and the Zee Cine Award for Best Music Director.

Ms Ghoshal, deservedly, won the Best Female Playback Award at the aforementioned ceremonies.

Uday Mazumdar Sh(rey)ared singing credits with her.

As Al(ka)ways, Hariharan was dependable

Given A R Rahman’s exacting standards of perfection, it would not be incorrect to state that the soundtrack of Guru (2007) wasn’t his best. But fortunately, even its passable tracks were memorable.

Of course, Aye Hairathe, which Gulzar penned, didn’t disappoint.

That was attributable to the fact that it was rendered by Hariharan and Alka Yagnik, who are among the pet singers of the composer, who was, incidentally, credited as the third crooner.

Of the four songs from the film on this blog, it was the longest – it was six minutes and nine seconds long.
