Shashwat sang this short song

The fifth – and final – contribution of Shashwat as a Sing(h)er to the soundtrack of 99 Songs was Teri Nazar.

It was the shortest of the five tracks rendered by him in the film – it was four minutes and three seconds long.

The track, which was penned by Navneet Virk and Dilshad Shabbir Shaikh, was composed by A R Rahman (for whom Shaikh works as a music supervisor).

Released as the fifth single of the album on March 13, 2020, the track is based on Indian classical music (Raga Charukesi, to be precise) and Sufi music.    

It wASn’t penned by Virk

Humnawaa was the shortest of the 13 tracks from 99 Songs on this blog – it was three minutes and 21 seconds long*.

It was the only song in the film that wasn’t penned by Navneet Virk. The lyrics were credited to Dilshad Shabbir Shaikh and Abhay Jodhpurkar (who was a discovery of none other than A R Rahman, who composed the track.)

The duo who shared singing credits was Armaan Malik and Shashaa Tirupati.

(*Note: Only the film’s instrumental piece – titled The Oracle – was shorter. It was three minutes and a couple of seconds long.)
