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.

Ravjiani Sa(raiya)ng the longest track

It seems that Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani, who had a prolific two-decade run as a composer jodi in Hindi films, have decided to be choosy about the assignments they commit to.

One of their releases in 2022 was Jayeshbhai Jordaar.

If the four songs from the film in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the descending order of their durations, Dheere Dheere Seekh Jaaunga would be the first – it was four minutes and 23 seconds.

Ravjiani sang it with Priya Saraiya.

The song was written by Jaideep Sahni.
