The latest hit love song from film ‘Airlift’ is indeed a melodiously composed track that wins over you in the first listen itself. But the origin of this particular song actually goes back to Punjab and one of its most talented young singers Hardy Sandhu.
The creation titled ‘Soch’ got released in late 2013 along with an emotional, well-enacted and directed video doing full justice to the heart touching song. And the team included Hardy Sandhu (Singer), B Praak (Music) and Jaani (Lyrics).
The song/album got released on T-Series label only at that time, which has now been musically reworked by Amaal Mallik with lyrics re-written in Hindi by Kumar as ‘Soch Na Sake’, becoming probably the best song of ‘Airlift’s’ entire soundtrack released by the same company. Thankfully the due credits are also given to the original creators in the film’s Audio CD sleeve as required.
However there is a huge difference in the original and its adaptation in terms of perspectives or storyline and you can see the Hardy Sandhu’s widely appreciated creation in the following video.
On a different note, another of ‘Airlift’ song ‘Dil Cheez Tujhe De Di’ also has a hook-line that reminds you of a huge hit of the 90s (which interestingly has its own history of inspiration). A fusion song with the similar sounding words, “Didi, Didi" sung by Khaled. The track actually became a big rage in India in 1992-93 (with versions in Bollywood too), as the Cable TV Revolution had just happened in the country and everyone was too keen on viewing the foreign content airing on their television sets.
Here is Khaled’s version.
And its Bollywood version too in ‘Shriman Aashique’ (1993)
And finally the song from ‘Airlift’.
