All Song Aashiqui
Chanelle Kirksey
Aashiqui 2 is the soundtrack to the 2013 Indian Hindi-language romantic musical drama film of the same name, directed by Mohit Suri and starring Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles. The album was produced by Bhushan Kumar and Mahesh Bhatt under the banner T-Series and Vishesh Films. The enormous success of multi composer setup has been followed in many films.
The songs of the film were mostly composed by Jeet Gannguli, although Mithoon and Ankit Tiwari composed two songs each (including both versions) as guest composers. Irshad Kamil wrote lyrics for most of songs on the album. Sandeep Nath wrote both versions of "Sunn Raha Hai", while Mithoon wrote "Tum Hi Ho" and Sanjay Masoom wrote "Bhula Dena". Arijit Singh sang six of the songs on the album.[1] Jeet Gannguli reused the tune from his own Bengali composition "Mon Hariye Beghorey" for "Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi" and "Aaj Tomai Niye Shuru Holo Notun Jibon" for "Hum Mar Jayenge".[2]
The song Tum Hi Ho had already been recorded by Mithoon two years before its original release through Arijit's voice. The song became the most popular listener's choice song of the year 2013 and an ever-chanting love anthem for everyone.[citation needed]
The song "Sunn Raha Hai" was rendered in two different (electric rock and semi -classical) styles as per the demand of the film where a rich and popular singer sings with modern and sophisticated instruments and a poor bar singer sings with normal instruments. The composer Ankit Tiwari was appreciated for recruiting Shreya Ghoshal's voice for the female version of the song.
The song "Hum Mar Jayenge" uses flute, which Bollywood Hungama in their review appreciated."Chahun Main Yaa Na" is a "coming-up love" romantic song which not only remarked the two persons, composer Jeet Gannguli and singer Palak Muchhal who come into the limelight but also became quite contagious amongst the youngsters of those time. The song "Milne Hai Mujhse Aayi" has used guitars that lean towards heavy rock genre.[3] The song "Aashan Nahi Yahaan" has a universal message of love in its lyrics. "Bhula Dena" depicted the practical ending of the two lovers but which would start once again in the coming births as their love was unknowingly infinite in its cause.
Aashiqui 2's soundtrack received acclaim from music critics, who praised the songs "Tum Hi Ho" and both versions of "Sunn Raha Hai". The Times of India rated the album 5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Aashiqui 2 tries, and succeeds to some extent in matching the repeat-values freshness and allure of the original. And while it is unfair to compare a sequel to the original, it needs to be said that each should be seen for its own merit."[4]
Koimoi rated the album 3 out of 5 and said, "Aashiqui 2 is an album that had set its heart in the right place and wanted to accomplish what Aashiqui did musically. It has the ingredients in place though at times one gets an impression that the recipe could have been a tad better. One waits to see if the soundtrack would indeed turn out to be memorable for a lifetime, more so since Bhatts had musically created a high standard with Aashiqui."[5]
The teaser of the song was released on 29 November 2021.[4] The music video was released on 1 December 2021, by T-Series.[5][6] The lyrical was released on 19 December 2021 and the audio of the song was released on 23 December 2021. The song was made available at iTunes[7] the same day of release and for online streaming at JioSaavn[8] and Gaana[9] on 1 December 2021. The full video song, featuring visuals directly from the film, was released on 22 March 2022 on YouTube.
The music video features Prabhas and Pooja Hegde. The video shows Vikramaditya (Prabhas) take Prerana (Pooja Hegde) on bike rides, beach strolls at various locations with matching outfits, creating a dream sequence like feel. The song gives a look at the chemistry between them.[10][11]
The music video of the song is shot in Italy, the song's visuals are filled with scenery of lush green mountains tops, beach, rainbow or a wrecked plane on a deserted spot. Some parts of song was shot at -2C in snow rain.[12][13]
A critic from Cinestaan wrote that "The song sees Mithoon in three avatars. His poetry as a lyricist is simple and doesn't boast of heavy words, which goes well with the nature of a massy romantic song. The music, again by Mithoon, is a fine mixture of soft tunes and foot-tapping sounds. Lastly, as a singer he weaves magic with his vocal chords, with some support from Arijit Singh at the end".[20] Telangana Today wrote that "With the romantic 'Aashiqui Aa Gayi', he delivered a gem in his extremely soulful voice for incredibly beautiful lyrics penned by Mithoon who has also aced music with his amazing composition. Melody to ears and soothing to heart, the splendid tunes enhanced the beauty of this song".[21]
The teaser of the song was released on 29 November 2021.[24] The song was scheduled to release on 1 December 2021, but due to the passing of lyricist Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry, it was released on 2 December 2021, by T-Series.[25] The full video song, featuring visuals directly from the film, was released on 23 March 2022 on YouTube.
The track was released as "Nagumomu Thaarale" in Telugu (lyrics written by Krishna Kanth), "Thiraiyoadu Thoorigai" in Tamil (lyrics written by Madhan Karky), as "Naguvantha Thaareye" in Kannada (lyrics written by Dhananjay Ranjan) and as "Malarodu Saayame" in Malayalam (lyrics written by Joe Paul) languages with vocals by Sid Sriram for Telugu and Tamil while Sooraj Santhosh sung the Kannada and Malayalam version of this track.[26]
The duo then brought lyricist Sameer and playback singer Kumar Sanu, to record the songs under the tentative title Chahat; the first song they recorded was "Main Duniya Bhula Doonga". After curating around five to six songs, director Mahesh Bhatt happened to hear them and was impressed with it, eventually deciding to write a story surrounding those songs which became Aashiqui. He further insisted Sameer to write the title track, which became "Bas Ek Sanam Chaahiye".[1][3]
After production being completed, Gulshan contacted Sameer saying that though people felt the film's music was great, it sounded more than an independent album rather than a soundtrack for the film, admitting that Gulshan eventually planned to release the album only instead of the film. Bhatt met Gulshan and assured that he would quit direction, if the soundtrack to the film becomes unsuccessful. As per the latter's suggestion, Mahesh eventually released a poster with lead pair Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal were shown hiding under a jacket, in order to avoid revealing the actors in the promotional material. The album was eventually released on 26 December 1989, months before the film's theatrical release.[1] Most of the songs fall under the filmi-ghazal genre, based on the ghazal style.[4][5]
Aashiqui's soundtrack was ranked at number 15 on the BBC Asian Network website,[13] while Planet Bollywood ranked it at number 4 on their "100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks of All Time",[14] and at 76 on "Top 100 Bollywood Albums" by Film Companion.[15]
A cover version of the song "Dheere Dheere" was composed and performed by Yo Yo Honey Singh and released as a single on 2 September 2015, with an accompanying music video featuring Hrithik Roshan and Sonam Kapoor.[24][25] Although the song was commercially successful,[26] Nadeem Saifi criticised Singh for not crediting the original artists of the song and claimed that he did not obtain permission from the composers to recreate the version.[27] he demanded legal action against Singh regarding the same, albeit Singh described the song as a tribute to the film.[28]
Aashiqui is the greatest hits album of Punjabi singer, Jassi Sidhu, released in 2005. After a solid debut with Reality Check, Jassi Sidhu released his old songs recorded with his old band, B21. The prime purpose of releasing this album was to introduce his older hits to the Indian audience, who was enjoying his debut album, Reality Check. As Jassi Sidhu was an unknown face to the Indian audience, it was a perfect move by the label, and it proved to be really successful. Album was both critically and commercially acclaimed.
To make the album more appealing, Jassi Sidhu went to the studio to record the songs again. Three songs; Chandigarh, Din Raat, and Deor Da Viah were recorded with new effects, and music but resembling to the earlier versions. For example; the introduction of Chandigarh (Aashiqui) was different from the earlier version but rest of the structure of the song was almost same. The names of the tracks were also changed.
Chandigarh was named Aashiqui, Din Raat was changed to Majajne, Deor Da Viah was renamed to Bhabhi. Other tracks; Khote Te, Chitia Kipha Dia, Putt Sardaran Da and Darshan were changed into Raat, Hasya Kare, Dil Lutiya and Din, respectively.
