Cerejo’s rendition was tres (Do)m(i)(ag)ni(fi)que

There’s no doubt that Rock On!! was a male-Domin(ique)ated soundtrack, but those who were reeling under an (Akht)a(u)ral overdose needn’t have complained, because Ms Cerejo’s rendition of Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein was outstanding.

Penned by Javed Akhtar, the track, which was composed by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa, was five minutes and 29 seconds long.

In fact, its second line – “Yeh hamari mulaqaatein hamesha yun hi chalti rahein” (which can be translated to, “Our meetings should continue”) – is precisely what one is likely to tell an old buddy when they meet after ages.
