This (Chi)t(h)rack was superbly rendered

Even the most ardent Hindi film aficionado wouldn’t have given an Arm(a)and a leg for Honey Irani’s directorial debut, which released in 2003.

But one of its songs – Mere Dil Ka Tumse – became quite popular. In fact, it wouldn’t be incorrect to call it the highlight of the film.

Javed Akhtar penned the track, which was composed by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa and picturised on Ms Zinta.

K S Chithra, who is prolific in South India, rendered it. It’s indeed a P(re)ity that she is infrequently heard by Hindi film music buffs.
