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 21st 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.

Sargam Sa(dha)n(g)a ReMarQably underrated number

When a veteran, whose career goes back decades, sings a song, people are all ears.

That was the feeling the listeners got when Sadhana Sargam rendered Chupke Se from Saathiya.

Needless to say, the singer continues to mesmerise them. It is a pity that she is seldom heard these days.

The (Rah)man who joined her behind the microphone was none other than A R, who composed it.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that the chorus – featuring the voices of Murtaza and Qadir Khan – was the highlight of the track, which was penned by Gulzar.

Lata Sa(dha)n(a)g (Naray)an outstanding bhajan

Since the soundtrack of Lagaan had a song for everyone, it would be unfair to leave those who dig devotional songs out.

Of the six songs in the film, O Palanhaare was the shortest – it was five minutes and 19 seconds long.

It was among the best bhajans of all time (from the standpoint of Hindi films).

It would not be incorrect to state that Lata Mangeshkar's rendition was the highlight.

She was joined behind the microphone by Udit Narayan and Sadhana Sargam.

It was penned by Javed Akhtar and composed by A R Rahman.

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.

Sadhana sang (Harihar)an outstanding track

Without an iota of doubt, Chanda Re was the best song on the soundtrack of Sapnay.

Javed Akhtar penned the track, whose next two lines – “Kabhi toh zameen pe aa, baithenge baatein karenge” – can be translated to, “Come to earth some time. We will sit and chat.”

There were a couple of versions of the song, which was composed by A R Rahman.

They were the same length – both were five minutes and 58 seconds long.

Both the versions were rendered by a pair that has sung a number of duets – Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam.

Sadhana’s rendition got everyone’s (Vi)nod

The Gentleman, which released in 1994, was the Hindi remake of Gentleman, the Tamil film that released the previous year.

Three of the six tracks on its soundtrack were composed by A R Rahman.

A couple of these were popular. One of them was Aashiqui Mein Had Se.

Penned by Rajan Khera, it was the second-shortest song in the film – it was four minutes and 46 seconds long.

Vinod Rathod and Sadhana Sargam rendered it.

Incidentally, they also sang the second-longest song in the film – Hum Apne Gham Ko. It was composed by Anu Malik.
