Hriday did bag (Chauh)another track

If the soundtrack of Delhi-6 (2009) had a track titled Masakali, that of the 2015 film Tamasha had a song titled Matargashti.

And, in Dil Bechara, composer A R Rahman tried to take what seemed to have become a fixation with the letter M to the next level with Maskhari.

Unfortunately, it was not catchy.

The track, which was three minutes and 15 seconds long, was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

It was Hriday Gattani’s second song in the film, and on this occasion, he was joined behind the microphone by none other than Sunidhi Chauhan.  

Undoubtedly, Ms Gandhi sanGa(tta)niftily-arranged number

Although Main Tumhara was one of the weakest tracks on the soundtrack of Dil Bechara, there’s no two ways about the fact that its arrangement was outstanding.

Composed by A R Rahman, it was the longest of the eight tracks in the film – it was four minutes and 18 seconds long.

The male vocalist was Hriday Gattani, who – like Shashwat Singh, who bagged the lion’s share of the songs in the composer’s previous outing, 99 Songs – is a K M Music Conservatory alumnus.

Jonita Gandhi shared singing credits with him.

Amitabh Bhattacharya penned the track.

ItS RHythM was itS USP

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, the song from Yaadon Ki Baaraat, inspired the title of a film that released in 2014.

While its soundtrack wasn’t among A R Rahman’s best, one of its tracks – Khalifa – went on to become pretty popular with the youth, and those who like electronic dance music (EDM) in particular.

The song, which was five minutes and three seconds long, was penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

It was rendered by a quintet, led by none other than the composer himself.

The others were newcomer Hriday Gattani, Mahesh Vinayakram, Shweta Pandit and Suzanne D'Mello.
