Shankar salvaged this M(ahad)e(v)andering track

At five minutes and 21 seconds, Jhoom wasn’t just the second-longest version of the title track of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, but it is also the Hindi word meaning to swoon – which, ironically, is something no self-respecting fan of Hindi film music would admit to doing while listening to the track, which Gulzar penned.

Having said that, it wasn’t a poor track per se – in fact, it was the second-best of the three versions.

The only solo on the film’s soundtrack, it was rendered by Shankar Mahadevan, who composed it with Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa.
