Mr Singh was the (Tul)singer

One of composer Pritam’s three contributions to the soundtrack of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was Hum Nashe Mein Toh Nahin.

If the songs in the film – spread across my blogs – were arranged in the alphabetical order, it would be the fourth. 

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the song, which could be translated to, “Are we intoxicated?” 

He pluralised a number of words in the song (viz., harkatein, hairatein, aahatein, karwatein, hasratein, and fursatein).

Tulsi Kumar shared Sing(h)ing credits with Arijit for the song, which was the longest of the lot – it was three minutes and 58 seconds long.

Malik joined the two Singhs

If the four songs from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 – spread across my blogs – were arranged in the alphabetical order, De Taali would be second.

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

It was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Yo Yo Honey Singh, and was one of the three contributions of music director Pritam Chakraborty to the soundtrack of the film.

Obviously, Singh was one of the three men who rendered it as well.

The others were Armaan Malik and Shashwat Singh.

(Arij)It was retained SonG

Remember Ami Je Tomar (a.k.a. Mere Dholna) from Bhool Bhulaiyaa?

That song was retained on the soundtrack of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (the standalone sequel to that 2007 film, which released in 2022).

If the four songs from the film (spread across my blogs) were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was a minute and 38 seconds long.

Only Shreya Ghoshal’s voice was retained from the original.

But Arijit Singh replaced M G Sreekumar for this version.

Sameer wrote the Pritam compostion.
