These (Bhos)legends rendered it SuPerBly

An attempt was made to narrow the doori (distance) between the Golden Era and the period when the evergreen singers were not loaded with playback assignments.

To say that it was successful would be an understatement, because the song in question was Yeh Raat Aur Yeh Doori.

It was from Andaz Apna Apna, and was five minutes and a dozen seconds long.

Asha and S P Balasubrahmanyam (Bhos)lent their voices to the track. That probably gave many a complacent youngster hichkole (Hindi for jolts).

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the song, which was composed by Tushar Bhatia.

This was a BEl(l)oVed song

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that the old-world charm of Ello Ello was its unique selling proposition.

Tushar Bhatia composed the song, which paid homage to the tonga (horse-drawn carriage) songs of yesteryears' music director O P Nayyar.

The track, from Andaz Apna Apna, was five minutes and 54 seconds long.

Although there’s no two ways about the fact that it was a catchy number, it, unfortunately, didn’t do the duo who rendered it – Chatterjee and Vicky Mehta – a world of good. Having said that, they (Beh)roze to the occasion.

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned it.

They DiD a SuPerB job

The first two lines of Do Mastane Chale Zindagi Banane went, “Bom Bom Bom Bom”.

And by no means would it be incorrect to state that the track, from Andaz Apna Apna, was da Bom(b).

That was evidenced by the fact that these lines had a number of repetitions throughout the song.

Of the four tracks from the film on this blog, it was the longest – it was half-a-dozen minutes and four seconds long.

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the song, which was rendered by S P Balasubrahmanyam and Debashish Dasgupta.

It was composed by Tushar Bhatia.

This Mangal Singh stole hearts

By no means would it be incorrect to state that Tushar Bhatia, who composed the songs of Andaz Apna Apna, which released in 1994, was a one-film wonder.

Of the four songs from the film, Dil Karta Hai Tere Paas Aaoon was the shortest – it was four minutes and 59 seconds long.

It was rendered by Mangal Singh. He may have shared his name with a daaku (dacoit), but all he stole were the hearts of countless listeners.

The biggest name associated with the track was that of the man who penned it – Majrooh Sultanpuri.
