The movie had three composers – Jatin Lalit and Sandesh Shandilya composed 5 songs each and Aadesh Shrivastava who was a guest composer, composed a single song.
The movie was one of the early experiments of assembling three or more music composers for a single album with good budget and A-list actors and crew, and this procedure is still trending in Bollywood. Suraj Hua Maddham from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) – Music: Jatin Lalit, Lyrics: Anil Pandey He penned down the lyrics for all songs composed by Jatin-Lalit.Ĥ. Praveen Bhardwaj is a less-heard name in Bollywood cinema, but his wordings, ‘ Kuch Kasme Hain Jawan’ is really wonderful. I couldn’t figure out why the director did so, with such a beautiful duet of Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. This song featuring Arjun Rampal and Sushmita Sen was edited out in the final cut of the movie. Kuchh Kasme from Ankhein (2002) – Music: Jatin-Lalit, Lyrics: Praveen Bhardwaj Rahman also recorded their duets as early as new millennium began.ģ. Composers like Jatin-Lalit, Anand-Milind, Himesh Reshammiya, Ismail Darbar, Rajesh Roshan and A. I like all these four tracks, along with Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik track, Raat Ki Hatheli Par.Īnu Malik was one of the early composers who experimented with the combination of Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik for duets in the early 2000s ( Humein Jab Se Mohabbat from Border released in 1997 was the first noticed song of this trio) and later many composers followed the same suit. There are 6 tracks of which 4 songs belong to Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik including Panchi Nadiya Pawan Ke and Taal Pe Jab – finest ones. Refugee is one of the finest works of Anu Malik’s career, and there is not even a single weak track in the entire album. Aisa Lagta Hai from Refugee (2000) – Music: Anu Malik, Lyrics: Javed Akhtar Its mukda is loosely inspired from Main Tumhari Ragini Tum Geet Ho from Roop Sundari composed by his father Sardar Malik, who also remained a successful composer in the Bollywood yesterdays.Ģ. Mere Humsafar is definitely one of the finest compositions of Anu Malik’s career, but not a fresh tune. Refugee was the debut of both these actors too. The song featured Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor in a romantic mood, and she prevents him to go. All the songs, mostly recorded in Sonu Nigam & Alka Yagnik’s voice were extremely popular. The film compositions gave Anu Malik his first National award, and also a special mention at Filmfare. Let me begin with one of the top favourite romantic duets ever in Hindi cinema.

Here is the list of 30 best duets of Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam. So please appreciate my efforts, and if I have missed any good song, please let me know. There was no complete list of their film songs/movies available online. It was not easy task for me, as both the singers were regular since late 1990 till mid-2000s, and it was a teadious process to check each and every movie featuring their songs. Through this column I shall list 30 of their best songs (I tried to conclude with 20 or 25 film songs which I failed), along with a list of 25+ songs for your playlist. Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik gave some of the finest romantic duets of Bollywood belonging to new generation, especially in the first half of 2000s, when Alka was at her career peak and Sonu Nigam just established himself as the leading male voice.īefore Shreya Ghoshal became the leading female voice, Alka recorded some of the finest solos, as well as duets with Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Sonu Nigam. While Alka Yagnik joined film industry in the early 1980s and established as the leading female voice of Bollywood in the early 1990s, Sonu Nigam joined film industry in the early 1990s, and established as the leading male voice of Bollywood with the rise of new millennium. Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik are counted among the top rated playback singers of Bollywood ever with a very huge fan following crowd, and definitely are among the top singers representing new generation Bollywood music.
