After the Blue Theme, Yaar Mila Tha has got to be my favorite track from Blue. It’s one of the strongest compositions—no wonder Rahman chooses two very gifted singers—Madhushree and Udit Narayan—for this song. Ujjayinee Roy, Shi Millhouse, and Raven Millhouse are credited with backing vocals. Abbas Tyrewala really excels in providing fun “roothaa-roothi” “chhedd-chaad” lyrics. Just take a look at these lines:
Raah takti thi toh khafaa ho gayi thi tu yaa bewafaa?
Ke panghat pe ghoonghat ke binaa,
Jaa baithi kaise tu woh bhi mere binaa?!
Ussi panghat pe jaahaan jhat se pehli baar thaami thi maine teri kalaayi, harjaayi!
Jaahan dhoop se hum bache the, jaahaan nache the apne kadam,
Aur besharam, woh kalayi,
Tu thamaa ke aayi,
Haathon mein naa jaane kis khotte ke, kis potte ke, mere hote se par sote se!
Par tu ne hi toh usse bhejaa naa?
Ke meraa pyaar piyaa ko de jaanaa.
When I heard Udit Narayan sing the word "khote" I couldn't help but giggle. The song is just so sweet and playful naa yaar! The electronic shehnaai sound is really fun to listen to and so are the “taa teenaa teen teen teenaa” chorus vocals. The percussion arrangements are perfect. Both Madhushree and Udit Narayan really get into the song, which is nice since these days most singers sing without any feel.
