ThiS VAS the title track

If the two tracks on the soundtrack of Pathaan were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jhoome Jo Pathaan – the title track of the film – would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and 28 seconds long.

The involvement of Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but they were two of the four people who sang it too.

Sukriti Kakar and Arijit Singh were the others.

The song was written by Kumaar.

Dadlani waS the lyriCiSt too

Pathaan released in 2023.

The soundtrack of the film featured a track titled Besharam Rang, which could be translated to, “The unabashed side”.

It was a bilingual song – it had Hindi and Spanish lyrics.

While Kumaar wrote the former, the latter were penned by Vishal Dadlani, who also composed it (with Shekhar Ravjiani).

In fact, the composers also happened to be two of the four people who lent their voices to it.

The ladies who joined them behind the microphone for the song were Shilpa Rao and Caralisa Monteiro.

It was choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant.

Mr Ravjiani sang it too

Spread across my blogs, my collection contains four songs from Vikram Vedha.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Oo Saahiba was the third.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it was the first – it was three minutes and 54 seconds long.

The song was composed by Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani.

It happened to be their second contribution to the soundtrack of the film.

By the way, the latter lent it his voice as well.

The man who wrote it was the one and only Manoj Muntashir.

 

Nobody VAS in high Spirits

Vikram Vedha – which released in 2022 – was a remake of the Tamil film of the same name, which released in 2017.

Alphabetically, the first track from the Hindi version of the film was Alcoholia.

It was composed by Vishal-Shekhar (who also happened to be two of the four people who sang it, the others being Ananya Chakraborty and Snigdhajit Bhowmik).

The run-of-the-mill song was three minutes and 51 seconds long, and was a portmanteau of the English word ‘alcohol’ and the Hindi phrase ‘ho liya’ (which could be translated to, “Became”).

Manoj Muntashir wrote it.

Ironically, this tracK Vasn’t ‘jordaar’

If the four songs on the soundtrack of Jayeshbhai Jordaar were arranged in the alphabetical order, its title track – Jordaar – would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was just a couple of minutes and 34 seconds long.

It was a song with a Gujarati flavour, but contrary to its title, it wasn’t a jordaar track.

Appropriately, Keerthi Sagathia was one of the two men who lent his voice to it.

Dadlani was the other.

It was written by Jaideep Sahni.

Only one VerSion was included

The soundtrack of Jayesh Jordaar contained a couple of versions of Firecracker.

While my collection contained just one of them (the Hindi version), the other was an English version.

The involvement of Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani in both the versions was not restricted to composing them, but they lent them their voices as well.

Both of them were written by Kumaar and Vayu.

The Hindi version was the shorter of the two – it was just a couple of minutes and 46 seconds long.

And the English version was three minutes and 24 seconds long.

Mr Dadlani Sa(gathia)ng this song

The soundtrack of Jayeshbhai Jordaar contained a couple of duets rendered by Vishal Dadlani and Keerthi Sagathia.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Dil Ki Gali would be the second – it was just a couple of minutes and 59 seconds long.

The involvement of Dadlani in the song obviously was not restricted to singing it – he also teamed up with Shekhar Ravjiani to compose the song.

It was the second contribution if Jaideep Sahni as a lyricist to the soundtrack of the film.
