This track had BRagging rightS

Kaise Mujhe was certainly the best song on the soundtrack of Ghajini, and one of A R Rahman’s best compositions in the first decade of the 21st century.

It was also the longest of the four tracks from the film on this blog – it was five minutes and 46 seconds long.

The soundtrack also featured an instrumental version of the song. It was four minutes and a second long.

It was penned by Prasoon Joshi.

The track was rendered by three singers, including the composer. Benny Dayal and Ms Ghoshal Sh(rey)ared singing credits with him.

Nigam was the guest vocAlist

Although Guzaarish, from Ghajini, was rendered by Javed and Mr Nigam was credited as a guest vocAlist, it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that it was the latter who gave the Son(u)g Alift.

However, that does not imply that the former didn’t do a good job.

It was the second song in the film to have a remixed version. And coincidentally, the remixed version of this one was also as long as the original, which was five minutes and 29 seconds long.

The track was penned by Prasoon Joshi and composed by A R Rahman.

No critic could laud Karthik

It would not be incorrect to state that Behka was the weakest song on the soundtrack of Ghajini.

By no means did the track deserve a remixed version. But it was one of the two songs in the film that had one.

Interestingly, both the original and the remixed version were five minutes and 13 seconds long.

It would obviously be fair to blame Prasoon Joshi, who penned the track, and A R Rahman, who composed it, for the failure.

But was Karthik to blame too? The answer is definitely. After all, he rendered it.

Suzanne wasn’t quite D’Mello one

Ghajini, which released in 2008, had an unforgettable soundtrack.

Aye Bacchu was the shortest track in the film – it was three minutes and 48 seconds long.

Its beat perhaps ensured that it was one of the songs that one would dance to at the parties at the end of the year (the film released on Christmas Day).

The song was penned by Prasoon Joshi, who seemed to have made the most of the opportunity to step out of his comfort zone, and composed by A R Rahman.

It was right up singer Suzanne D’Mello’s alley.
