Suniyo Soniyo...

Raaz, The Mystery Continues from 2009 was a slick paranormal horror-thriller from the Mahesh Bhatt factory.

The movie had decent songs, among whom was a catchy number called “Soniyo” that was presented in two flavors by composer Raju Singh.

Sonu Nigam sang the foot-tapping version with Neeraj Shreedhar giving the assistant vocals. The other one was sober and devoid of percussion, which was sung by Krishna who is a classically inclined singer with a distinctly ‘high’ and heavy voice.

Sonu Nigam’s Soniyo had pacy drum beats and a peppy soundtrack compared to Krishna’s sedate and serious rendition. One would tend to think of these two songs as ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ siblings. But funny thing is that both the songs have the exact same timing and pace.

I decided to compile something that was in the middle. Neither fast and peppy nor sedate and sober. (Of course, it turned out to be about as insipid as a 5 year old can of Pepsi, but I have a mic so I am King :)).

Cheers!
