(Moh)It was certainly a (Ghosha)letdown

The longest of the four songs from Jab Tak Hai Jaan was saved for the last. But it was certainly not the best.

Folks, the track in question was Saans, which was five minutes and 28 seconds long.

As usual, Ms Ghoshal's rendition took everyone’s breath away, but Mohit Chauhan, the man who Sh(rey)ared singing credits with her, wasn’t in form.

The song, which was penned by Gulzar, was composed by A R Rahman.

Its Reprise version was a solo, which Ms Ghoshal sang. It was just a couple of minutes and six seconds long.

In its eN(ee)tirety, it wAs(hra)fantastic

It would not be incorrect to state that Jiya Re was the best song on the soundtrack of Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

The track, which was penned by Gulzar and composed by A R Rahman, was five minutes and 21 seconds long.

It was the only song in the film that was worth listening to on loop.

While that was attributable to the fact that it was a catchy and energetic number, the highlight of the track was certainly the rendition by debutante Neeti Mohan.

It also featured a rap portion, credited to Sofia Ashraf.

Raghav and Shilpa didn’t R(a)ock

The soundtracks of Yash Raj Films (YRF), and those directed by Yash Chopra in particular, have usually been awesome, and A R Rahman has been synonymous with music of a superior quality.

Going by those standards, it would not be incorrect to say that Ishq Shava, from Jab Tak Hai Jaan, left the listeners a tad disappointed.

It was penned by Gulzar, and was the shortest of the four songs from the film on this blog – it was four minutes and 32 seconds long.

The peppy duet was rendered by Raghav Mathur and Shilpa Rao.

Shergill succeeded at gRabbing attention

Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which released in 2012, was the last film directed by Yash Chopra, who died the same year.

Although the film released a few weeks after his death, he was able to witness the release of its soundtrack.

Its songs, which were penned by Gulzar, included Challa, which was five minutes and 23 seconds long.

A R Rahman composed the track, which was rendered by Gurpreet Singh Shergill, better known as Rabbi.

It was shot at several locations in London. These included Trafalgar Square, Canary Wharf, Hungerford Bridge and Golden Jubilee Bridges.
