Ms Gandhi was the Sing(h)er

If the six tracks from Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Tere Pyaar Mein would be the last.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was four minutes and 25 seconds long.

Nikhita Gandhi was one of the two people who lent their voices to the track.

The man who shared singing credits with her for it was the one and only Arijit Singh.

The track, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by Pritam Chakraborty.


Ms Chauhan was the Sing(h)er

If the six songs from Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Show Me The Thumka would the fifth.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the second – it was three minutes and 56 seconds long.

It was the only song in the film that wasn’t sung by Arijit Singh.

But the male singer was his namesake – Shashwat.

Sunidhi Chauhan joined him behind the microphone for it.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the Pritam composition, which was three minutes and 56 seconds long.   

Charan sang it with Singh

If the six tracks from Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, Pyaar Hota Kayi Baar Hai would be the fourth.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was three minutes and 36 seconds long.

Unsurprisingly, the one and only Arijit Singh was one of the two men who lent their voices to the track.

He was joined behind the microphone for it by Charan.

The track, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by Pritam Chakraborty.

(Arij)It was Mr Singh’s solo

If the six songs from Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar in my collection were arranged in the alphabetical order, O Bedardiya would be the third.

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was five minutes and 13 seconds long.

It happened to be the second male solo on the soundtrack of the film.

No prizes for guessing that the man who lent his voice to it was the one and only Arijit Singh.

The song, which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, was composed by Pritam.

It was SunG by Divya

By the way, the release of Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar also happened to coincide with Holi, the festival of colour, which is also celebrated with bhang, the intoxicant.

So, it was certainly not a surprise that lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya and music director Pritam decided to give their fans a track to which they could groove after they had imbibed a bit too much.

It was aptly titled Maine Pee Rakhi Hai.

And it was four minutes and seven seconds long.

The two people who lent the track their voices were Shreya Ghoshal and Divya Kumar

Unfortunately, Jubin’s magic didn’t work

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar released on International Women’s Day of 2023 (March 8).

I don’t, however, think any woman should be called a jhoothi (liar).

My collection contains six songs from the film.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Jaadui would be the first.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the third – it was three minutes and 42 seconds long.

One of the two male solos in the film, it was rendered by Jubin Nautiyal.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the Pritam composition, which wasn’t magical.

Singh sang this one too

If the two songs on the soundtrack of Tiger 3 were arranged in the alphabetical order, Ruaan would be the second.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it was four minutes and 17 seconds long.

The man who lent his voice to the song was the one and only Arijit Singh.

It was written by Irshad Kamil, and was composed by Pritam Chakraborty.

The title of the song means ‘soft’.

And there could not have been a more apt word to describe the song, which was a love ballad.
