Ms Yagnik rendered Alikable song

Tu Muskura, the song from Yuvvraaj, was high on the emotional quotient.

Of the three songs from the film on this blog, it was the shortest – it was five minutes and 37 seconds long.

The pair of legends who collaborated on it – lyricist Gulzar and composer A R Rahman – could not have given the listeners a more perfect message – “Tu muskura jahan bhi hai tu muskura” (which can be translated to, “Smile, wherever you are”).

The song was rendered by the one and only Alka Yagnik.

She was joined behind the microphone by Javed Ali.

It was a BRight Spot

The soundtrack of Yuvvraaj may have failed to impress Hindi film music buffs in particular, and fans of director Subhash Ghai in particular, but by no means would it be incorrect to state that Tu Meri Dost Hai was the best song in the film.

And that can only be attributed to the fact that the song was composed by A R Rahman.

The track was rendered by Benny Dayal, who was joined behind the microphone by Shreya Ghoshal.

It was penned by none other than Gulzar, and was six minutes and 13 seconds long.

Sonu and the others disappointed

When a Son(u)g is weak, the listeners don’t give it their nod.

Even a composer of A R Rahman’s calibre wasn’t spared – they said no to Shano Shano, the track from Yuvvraaj (2008).

Of the three songs from the film on this blog, this was the longest – it was six minutes and 22 seconds long.

Gulzar penned the song, whose remixed version, credited to Krishna Chetan, was a couple of minutes and 38 seconds long (that trivia was doubly shocking!)

It was rendered by Mr Nigam, Blaaze, Karthik, Srinivas, Sunaina, Timmy, Tina and Vivienne Pocha.
