Shafqat’s version wasn’t lacKing soul

There’s no doubt about the fact that Dildaara (a Bollywood adaptation of American singer Ben E King’s oft-covered Stand By Me) from Ra.One was a beautiful amalgamation of several genres (gospel, trance, R&B, soul and Sufi).

They obtained the license to use the track, which was four minutes and nine seconds long.

It was penned by Kumaar and composed by Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani. The foursome who rendered it – Shafqat Ali [who earned A(ma)n(omin)ation in the best male playback singer category at the 2012 Filmfare Awards], Clinton Cerejo and the music directors – was awesome.
