It was sung by Sunidhi

It was fitting that the soundtrack of a film about a king from the Chauhan dynasty (Samrat Prithviraj) contained a song by a singer who shares his last name (Sunidhi Chauhan).

The song was titled Yoddha, which could be translated to, “Warrior”.

As far as its duration was concerned, it was sandwiched between Hadd Kar De and Makhmali – it was four minutes and three seconds long (a second longer than the former, and a second shorter than the latter).

The song, which Varun Grover wrote, was composed by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa. 

Singh sang it with Shreya

Makhmali could be translated to, “Velvety”.

And aptly, the second duet on the soundtrack of Samrat Prithviraj was rendered by two Sing(h)ers whose voices have been described as makhmali – Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit.

But in this song, it was undoubtedly interesting that that adjective was used to describe love – its hook line went, “Makhmali makhmali pyaar tera makhmali” (which could be translated to, “Velvery, velvety, your love is velvety”).

It was written by Varun Grover, and composed by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa.

The track was four minutes and as many seconds long.

It was sung by Shinde

If the four songs from Samrat Prithviraj on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, Hari Har would be the second. 

And if they were arranged in the descending order of their durations, it would be the first – it was four minutes and 14 seconds long.

The song was sung by Adarsh Shinde, the popular Marathi playback singer, television anchor and judge of reality shows, who is renowned for singing songs about Dr B R Ambedkar and Buddhism.

It was written by Varun Grover, and composed by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa.

Neeti sang it with Keerthi

Spread across my blogs, the shortest of the five songs on the soundtrack of the 2022 film Samrat Prithviraj was Hadd Kar De – it was four minutes and a couple of seconds long.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the song would be the second overall, and the first on my blog dedicated to the music of Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa.

It was one of the two duets on the soundtrack of the film – it was sung by Neeti Mohan and Keerthi Sagathia.

The song was written by Varun Grover.   

Mahadevan composed and saNG it

If the two contributions of composers Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa to the soundtrack of Dhaakad were arranged in the alphabetical order, Namonishan would be the second. 

Overall, it would be the fourth.

It was the longer of the trio’s contributions to the film’s soundtrack – it was four minutes and 20 seconds long.

And if they were arranged in the ascending order of their durations, it would be the fourth overall.

Mahadevan was one of the two people who sang it.

Nikhita Gandhi joined him behind the microphone.

Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the song.

It was a Chauhan solo

There were six songs from Dhaakad (2022) in my collection.

Of those, a couple were composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, Barood would be the first – it was four minutes and a dozen seconds long.

In fact, it was the third-longest song on the soundtrack of the film, and the second in alphabetical order.

It was rendered by Sunidhi Chauhan.

It also happened to be one of her two contributions to the soundtrack of the film.
