Shankar didn’t squander his (Mah)ad(e)vantage

Besides being an accomplished singer, Shankar Mahadevan is a versatile composer. So when he was picked by Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani to sing Small Town Girl from Bachna Ae Haseeno, he probably donned the music director’s hat.

Although it would be correct to say that he delivered the goods, there was precious little he could do to salvage this mediocre solo.

A song’s lyrics are (An)vital to its success. So music aficionados must have been a tad disappointed to know that Dutt Guptan penned this track, which was three minutes and 49 seconds long.
