This adaptation wasn’t MAJorly disappointing

Ya Mustafa – also spelled Ya Mustapha – was a song of Middle-Eastern origin. It was composed by Egyptian musician Mohammed Fawzi, and rendered by his compatriot Bob Azzam in France in 1960.

It was a multi-lingual track, so it wasn’t surprising that it had a Hindi version.

This adaptation – titled Ya Dilruba – featured on the soundtrack of Aatish: Feel The Fire.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that the song – which was penned by Sameer and composed by Nadeem-Shravan – (Musta)fared rather well.

It was rendered by Alka Yagnik, Jolly Mukherjee and Mukul Agarwal.

(Al)Kasam se, it was S(an)uperb

Khaate Hain Hum Kasam was A(l)katchy track from Aatish: Feel The Fire.

Although it was a run-of-the-mill romantic number, it went on to become pretty popular.

By no means was that surprising, because this was the kind of song that was right up the alley of the duo who rendered it – Ms Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.

Penned by Sameer, the track was composed by Nadeem-Shravan.

It was an example of a song that shouldn’t be literally translated [because if one did so, it would mean, “I eat a promise” (which, of course, doesn’t make sense).]

Ms Yagnik's mood was Jolly

Aatish: Feel The Fire, which released in 1994, was inspired by a couple of films – our very own Deewaar (1975) and A Better Tomorrow, a Hong Kong film which released in 1986 and was directed by John Woo.

Dil Dil Dil, one of the two tracks from the film on this blog, was undoubtedly a song a guy would sing to woo his girlfriend if he were keen to do so in an unconventional fashion.

The song, which was penned by Sameer, was rendered by Alka Yagnik and Jolly Mukherjee.

It was composed by Nadeem-Shravan.
