Daler Ku(na)ldn't salvage this track

Although the tagline of Lakeer, which released in 2004, was Forbidden Lines, there was nothing forbidden in any of the lines of Nach Le, inarguably the best song in the film.

It was penned by Mehboob.

A R Rahman, who composed it, reused Thaniye Tananthaniye, a song he composed for Rhythm, a Tamil film which released in 2000.

The Hindi version was renD(al)ered by a couple of men whose styles Ku(na)ldn't be more dissimilar – Mehndi and Ganjawala.

It was a chartbuster, but was sorely lacking in what a track needs to stay on the charts.

The KroonerS KePt it short

If O Humdum Suniyo Re, the track from Saathiya, were parodied, it would have been an instruction – O listeners, suniyo re.

It would not be incorrect to say that the four men who rendered it – KK, Kunal Ganjawala, Shaan and Pravin – were right on the Mani.

Now that was certainly an awesome line-up of singers associated with a track that – ironically – did not have too many lines.

The song, which is likely to be sung by a group of buddies at an impromptu jam session, was penned by Gulzar and composed by A R Rahman.

ThiS Kuintet (Srini)vas indeed RocKing

The soundtrack of Saathiya was so chock-full of songs that it is easy to overlook a few of them and write posts on the others, only because they went on to become more popular.

But by no means can those tracks be ignored.

That was the thought that crossed my mind when I realised that I hadn’t written a post on Mangalyam, which was rendered by a male quintet, headed by none other than A R Rahman, who composed it.

The others were KK, Kunal Ganjawala, Shaan and Srinivas.

The track was penned by Gulzar.
