Undoubtedly, Madhushree rendered (Ud)it beautifully

There’s no doubt that A R Rahman Ism(a)il(e)s ahead of Mr Darbar, who composed the remainder of the songs of Kisna: The Warrior Poet (2005) when the former had to leave it midway*.

And that reflected in the popularity of one of the tracks he composed for the film – Hum Hain Is Pal Yahaan.

Javed Akhtar penned the duet, which was soothing and worth listening to on loop.

(Ud)It was rendered by Mr Narayan and Madhushree.

(*Note: Rahman was committed to composing the music of the 2006 theatrical adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.)

Rahman certainly Mad(hushre)e no mistake

Kabhi Neem Neem from Yuva was a song the listeners would have loved to listen to on loop. Not because it was an A R Rahman composition (which one must listen to repeatedly for it to grow on him/her), but for the female singer.

That possessor of a voice as sweet as shahad (honey) was Madhushree. And she was joined behind the microphone by Rahman.

The other man who deserves kudos for transporting the listeners to a different era was the one who penned it – Mehboob.

The track was four minutes and 57 seconds long.

Gowariker proVed his singing Mettle

There is no doubt that the soundtrack of Swades, which released in 2004, was one of A R Rahman’s best scores of all time.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that Pal Pal Hai Bhaari, which was six minutes and 50 seconds long, was lai bhaari (a Marathi phrase that can be translated to mind-blowing).

The song was penned by Javed Akhtar.

Although Ashutosh Gowariker, the film’s director, was given importance in the title of this post, it must be stated that he was just a back-up singer.

Madhushree and Vijay Prakash rendered the track.

For sure, Madhushree's rendition waS(arg)amazing

The soundtrack of Saathiya was a Sadhana Sargam double bill, and her fans were overjoyed.

Her second contribution to it was Naina Milaike.

There’s no doubt that she did a marvellous job, and so did Madhushree, who joined her behind the microphone.

Even those who ARen't fans of Rahman, who composed it, or of the music of films that released in the 21^st century would probably appreciate the song, because the plaints would take them back to the Golden Era.

After all, it was penned by Gulzar, who has been active in both the eras.
