Rashid baggeDasong with Vasundhara too

It is possible that the woh in Kahin Toh Hogi Woh referred to Lady Luck, whose smile was what Rashid Ali was awaiting before he rendered the track from Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na.

Of the five songs from the film on this blog, this was the longest – it was five minutes and as many seconds long.

This was a duet. Vasundhara was Dasinger who joined Ali behind the microphone.

The track, which depicted every man’s state of mind beautifully, was penned by Abbas Tyrewala.

It was composed by none other than A R Rahman.

This track was PoSitiVely catchy

Shakalaka Baby, from Nayak: The Real Hero, is a prime example of a popular song from a below-par film.

It was reused in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Bombay Dreams, whose London production opened in 2002 and ran for a couple of years.

A R Rahman, wasn’t just the composer of the song, but the music director of the musical too.

Its lyrics, which made absolutely no ‘Sen’se, were penned by Anand Bakshi. It was picturised on Sushmita.

The track was rendered by Vasundhara Das, who was joined behind the M(an)icrophone by Pravin and Shiraz Uppal.

It wasn’t A VUnderful song

It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that O Ri Chhori, which was five minutes and 59 seconds long, was the weakest song on the soundtrack of Lagaan.

And it is possible that the listeners would have skipped it if the English portion of the track, which was rendered by Vasundhara Das, weren’t understandable.

Its Hindi portion was sung by Mr Narayan and Alka Yagnik.

Undoubtedly, the credit for ensuring that even the least impressive track is etched in the listeners’ memories, goes to A R Rahman, who composed it.

It was penned by Javed Akhtar.
