The female Sing(h)erS Komplemented Sonu

By no means was Kehne Ko Dadi, from Jeans, the grandma of all songs, but it was a catchy number.

The track, which was penned by Javed Akhtar, was about a cool dadi who was urged to call Clinton to say I love you, sing Raga Bhairavi at the disco and decorate the gate of Disneyland with a rangoli. That’s an awesome combo of desi tradition and Western modernity!

The Son(u)g, which was five minutes and 51 seconds long, was rendered by Mr Nigam, Sukhwinder Singh, Kavita Paudwal and Sangeeta.

A R Rahman composed it.

(Ud)It K(avit)aught the youngsters’ attention

Hai Rabba was the longest song on the soundtrack of Jeans – it was seven minutes and 15 seconds long.

Although it was a passable duet, it was catchy.

(Ud)It was rendered by a (Kavi)talented and popular pair – Mr Narayan and Ms Krishnamurthy.

Javed Akhtar, who penned it, took the cake as far as using similes to describe the leading lady's beauty was concerned – she was described as a jeeta-jaagta Taj Mahal (a living Taj Mahal) and her shakal (face) was likened to the poora chand (full moon).

The track was composed by A R Rahman.

(Colum)Busy Nigam made holiday plans

When a person discovers what to do on his/her day off (or makes plans for a holiday), the feeling is akin to what Christopher Columbus, the explorer, must have got upon discovering America.

Perhaps that was what Javed Akhtar wanted to convey when he penned Columbus, keeping youngsters, who look forward to the do din ki chhutti (the much-awaited weekend), in mind.

It was the shortest song on the soundtrack of Jeans – it was four minutes and 56 seconds long.

The fast-paced Son(u)g was composed by A R Rahman.

It was rendered by Mr Nigam.

Indeed, Hariharan rendered (Sadh)anawesome track

The first thing one associates with Jeans is the pair of denims that is a must-have in every wardrobe.

It was also the title of a Tamil film that released in 1998 and was dubbed into Hindi.

Only a die-hard A R Rahman fan would admit that it had some hummable tracks.

Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam rendered a song that was six minutes and 57 seconds long.

It was titled Ajooba and penned by Javed Akhtar.

And, as any Hindi film music buff and his Ajoba (Marathi for grandpa) would tell you, it was 'wonder'ful.
