Rahman’s rendition was truly (Srini)d(h)isappointing

There’s no doubt that the title track of OK Jaanu was a letdown, despite the fact that it was penned by none other than Gulzar.

The track, which was three minutes and 26 seconds long, was composed by A R Rahman.

But by no means was his contribution to it limited to wielding the music director's baton. He rendered it too.

Ms Venkatesh shared S(rinidh)inging credits with him.

The song may have made it way to the charts, but it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that it didn’t have the qualities to stay on them.

Nobody was En(n)amoured with (Arij)it

OK Jaanu, which released in 2017, was the remake of O Kadhal Kanmani (also known as OK Kanmani). The latter was a Tamil film which released a couple of years before the former.

Mercifully, the soundtrack of the Hindi version was short, and its most popular tracks were, incidentally, the shortest of the lot.

Enna Sona – which borrowed its opening line from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s classic – was just three minutes and 33 seconds long.

Rendered by Singh, (Arij)it was the longer of the two tracks from the film on this blog.

Gulzar penned it.
