Vintage Jagjit Singh. In case you’ve missed out on some of the most unforgettable numbers, here’s your chance. Jagjit’s musical journey down four decades.
From Hothon Se Chhoolon Tum, Tumko Dekha and Ye Tera Ghar to Hosh Walon, Jagjit unplugged during a concert at The Esplanade, Singapore. And when you have gems like Baat Niklegi, Kal Chaudvin, Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti could you have asked for more? The number that will make you smile through your tears is Admi Admi (composed after he lost his son). A collector’s album.

Do you need an excuse for a remix album? Well, unless you are particularly fond of Shefali Jariwala (who returns with her trademark pout) in her sultry siren act (yet another version of Kahin Aar Kahin Paar), this isn’t your album.
In case, you want to put on your dancing shoes and want more options here they are: Jiya Beqarar, Aapke Kamre Mein, Leke Pehla Pehla. And we didn’t even want to talk about Bhor, Zara Zara, Pardesiya, Chod Do Anchal. Chances are you’ve heard them enough: there are three versions already.

It’s a pretty easy formula. Barely a month after Nagesh Kukunoor assembled pop numbers from Fuzon, etc., for Hyderabad Blues 2: Rearranged Marriage, director Sanjay Bhatia tries the same thing.
So you have a lot of numbers to choose from: Biddu’s Nirvana, Zila Khan’s Kesariya, Shubha Mudgal’s Is Pal, Usha Uthup’s Sau Feesadi and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Sanoon Ek Pal.
