This NonSenSical track became popular

Patti Rap, from Humse Hai Muqabala, was the Hindi version of Pettai Rap, a rap-like track which interspersed English words with Hindi or Tamil ones, as was the case.

The original was in Madras Bashai, the slang used in Madras (now Chennai). Bashai is derived from bhasha, which means language).

A R Rahman composed both the versions of the track, which were four minutes and 23 seconds long.

P K Mishra penned the Hindi version of the track, which was rendered by Suresh Peters (who sang the Tamil version too), Noell James and Shankar Mahadevan.  

The SingerS, particularly Fernandes, R(em)ocked

The soundtrack of Bombay, which released in 1995, was – and continues to be – regarded to be among A R Rahman’s finest.

Humma Humma, the iconic track from the film, was five minutes and 10 seconds long.

The song, which was picturised on Sonali Bendre and Nagendra Prasad, the younger brother of Prabhu Deva, was penned by Mehboob Kotwal (known mononymously as Mehboob).

Remo Fernandes rendered it with gusto (could it have been sung any other way?)

The other singers who (Sure)shared singing credits with him are Mr Peters and Swarnalatha (who passed away in 2010).
