Mr Nigam'S(hab)backing SiNgeRs rocked too

There couldn’t be a more perfect track than Shabba Shabba, the catchy number from Daud: Fun On The Run, to pay tribute to Neeraj Vora, the jack of all trades (and master of all) who passed away at the age of 54 on December 14, 2017.

The writer, director and actor, who was born on January 22, 1963, rendered the Son(u)g with Mr Nigam, Ranu Mukherjee (who sang the post-soundtrack version) and Swarnalatha (who sang the version on the film's original soundtrack).

The track, which was penned by Mehboob, was composed by A R Rahman.

Ye(suda)s, the two (Bhos)legends rocked

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that O Bhanware, a romantic track, was the most outstanding song on the soundtrack of Daud: Fun On The Run.

And that was not only attributable to the genius who composed it (A R Rahman), but also to the pair of (Bhos)legends who rendered it – Asha and K J Yesudas.

Although the latter has been choosy as far as his playback assignments in Hindi films are concerned, he has seldom failed to impress his fans, and by no means was this track different.

This song was penned by Mehboob.

It wasn’t a Rem(o)arkable track

(Fernan)Despite not having enjoyed a long ‘run’ in the Hindi film industry, Remo has certainly made the most of the few opportunities he has got.

However, it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the title track of Daud: Fun On The Run (1997), was a tad disappointing vis-a-vis the other tracks rendered by him.

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

This blog doesn’t contain a post on its female version, which was penned by Sukhwinder, who is noted for his Sing(h)ing prowess.

It was rendered by Usha Uthup.
