Madhushree-Sujatha Bhattacharya

Madhushree (born as Sujata Bhattacharya) is an Indian singer, who sings in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada films. A familiar voice in A. R. Rahman's compositions, Madhushree hails from a musically inclined family, having previously been trained in classical music. Wanting to be a classical singer, Madhushree joined the Rabindra Bharati University and completed her masters.

Madhushree was originally born as Sujata Bhattacharya in a Bengali Hindu family in Kolkata to Amarendranath and Parbati Bhattacharya, who were her initial teachers. She was taught classical music by Saneetacharya Pt. Amiya Ranjan Bandyopadhyay, a noted exponent of the Bishnupur Gharana and excelled in Thumri and Khayal. Later she started working for the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, through which she was deputed to teach classical music in Surinam.

Currently married to engineer and music director Robby Badal.

5) Yaar mila tha-Blue.. Music by A.R.Rehman, Lyrics by Abbas Tyrewala..

Yaar mila tha saiyaan ek din
Yaar mila tha saiyaan
Aankhon mein sapne dil mein leke
Pyaar mila tha saiyyaan
Kya main karti saiyyan baiyyan
Kya main karti saiyyaan
Teri yaad mein kitni sadiyaan
Aah bharti saiyyan
Aarre kuch toh sharm kar leti
Aab kya kahengi duniya
Kyun uske sang ho li
Us peepal ki chaaiyaan
Socha nikal loon par pallu woh khencha zor se
Bola sandesa hai laaya woh teri aur se
Haaye dil ghayal zakhmi jiya
Kaise jeeye ab tera piya

Maar diya dulhaniya tu ne
Maar diya dulhaniya
Jeete jee apne saiyaan ko
Maar diya dulhaniya

Hai kusoor kya mera
Batana yu sata main
Teri raah takti thi
Raah takti thi to khafa
Ho gayi thi tu ya bewafa
Ke panghat pe
Ghoonghat ke bina
Jaa baithi kaise tu woh bhi mere bina
Usi panghat pe Jahan jhat se
Pehli baar thaami thi maine Teri kalayi
Harjayi
Jahan dhoop se hum bache the
Jahan Nache the Apne kadam
Aur besharam woh kalayi tu thama ke aayi
Haathon mein na jaane
Kis khotte ke
Kis potte ke
Mere hote se par sote se

Par tu ne hi to usse bheja na?
Ke mera pyaar piya ko dejana

Yaar bulaya saiyaan
Maine yaar bulaya saiyaan
Bhooli saari duniya
Jab ek baar bulaya saiyaan
Toh a gale dulhaniya
Lag jaa a gale dulhaniya
Dhekh ke aapni yaari duniya
Laakh jale dulhaniya

Yaar bulaya saiyaan
Lag jaa a gale dulhaniya
Bhooli saari duniya
Duniya laakh jale dulhaniya

Arre teri waffa ke kisse
Ab ga rahi hai duniya
Har maa kahe bete se
La aise dulhaniya

Haay dil ghayal zakhami jiya
Jeeye bas jeeye ab mera piya


6) In lamhon-Jodha Akbar.. Music by A.R.Rehman.. Lyrics by Javed Akhtar..

In lamhon ke daaman mein
Pakiza se riste hain
Koi kalma mohabat ka
Dohrate farishte hain

Khamosh si hai zameen hairaan sa falak hai
Ek noor hi noor sa ab aasman talak hai
(Nagmein hi nagmein hai jagti soti fizaon mein
Husn hai sari adaon mein
Ishq hai jaise hawaon mein ) —2

Kaise yeh ishq hai
Kaisa yeh khwab hai
Kaise jazbaat ka umda salab hai
Din badle raatein badli, baathein badli
Jeene ke aandaz hi badlein hai

Samay ne yeh kya kiya
Badal di hai kaya
Tumhe mene paa liye
Mujhe tumne paya
Mile dekho aise hai hum
ke do sur ho jaise madham
koi jyada na koi kaam
Kise aag mein
Ke prem aag mein
Jalte dono hi the
tan bhi hai maan bhi
Maan bhi hai tan bhi

Mere khwaabon ke is gulistaan mein
Tumse hi tum bahar chai hai
Phoolon mein rang mere the lekin
In mein khusboon tumhi se aaye hai
Kyon hai yeh arzoo
Kyon hai yeh zustzu
Kyon dil bechain hai
Kyon dil betaab hai
Din badle raatein badli baatien badli
Jeene ke andaaz hi badle hain

Aahhh... She has such a naughty tone.. I just love her "Pal Pal Hai Bhari" of Swades & "Enthan Vanil Kadhal" of Kadhal Virus, though it was just that she hummed in the former(Imagine how great it is)..

Shanti Niketan...!!

Next day our destination was Shanti Niketan. Its NH and so not a tiresome journey. It just takes 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. But the problem arised as we reached the place around one or two in the afternoon with hunger. Hotels found on the way were either closed or not decent. Struggled to find a place to stay until some local guide suggested Tourist centre (and followed us too for getting work). Rushed for lunch along with the guide to the canteen of Vishwabharati university. Terrific food, unhygienic surroundings provided a lotta resistance but couldn't help in desert-like place (wondered if its the same for students).

Later guide took us on rikshas all around the university. Open air classrooms under trees, courses which include pottery, handicrafts, painting & literature, convocation every year attended by Prime Minister of India, art every where, TV room of students which has sculptures on walls. Place of prominent people like Rabindranath Tagore, Abhanindranath Tagore, Nandalal Bose.

"open air classrooms"

"can you imagine? its the T.V. room."

"works of Ramkinker Baij"

Surely pleasure for romantic people (I am one but not in that tropical climate). Museum here includes the belongings , life history of Rabindranath Tagore & famous paper cuttings of that time.

Returned to tourist centre after a detailed view of campus. AC doesn't work properly, food to be ordered beforehand for them to prepare specially for you (which is not good). Not a nice stay. As

I got up, it was total dawn but the clock still showed 4.30 am. Witnessed the early sunrise in the East of India. Day's first hault at Basundhara, handicrafts show room. Decorative items, wall hangings, bags, sarees, small idols, kurtas filled the shop chambers.

" Jhalak of Basundhara"

Next rushed to Sri Niketan which is the place for practicals for the students. On the way to sri niketan we pass through Santal Village. Ramkinker Baij's inspiration. Mud houses and artistic walls, more like a planned and designed village.

"Art on walls of mud houses.. inset is jhalak of a house."



"pottery room of sriniketan"

Overall throughout travel in Kolkata had a jhalak(peep) of Vidya sagar sethu, bridge supported by ropes (similar to Malaysian one shown in movies), exterior of Eden Gardens, heritage building of LIC, fair in out skirts, trams. One more unique thing in Kolkata is you find all kinds of road transport.

"vidyasagar sethu"

"LIC building"

Bengalis mostly rely on sweets I guess. Variety of mithai found everywhere. Didn't forget Rasgollas parcel to home. Missed the museum visit at Victoria Memorial (I felt glad for it after the experiences of Belur & R.tagore's museum).

Kolkata, being a major city could be reached by air or rail without much effort from any other city in India. I advise a stay in Park Street area. Two complete days give you chance for full sight-seeing. Shanti Niketan easy by road or train. Train service till Bolpur, 2 kms from Shantiniketan. I cant suggest a nite stay in Shantiniketan, unless you can afford rooms in Mark & Meadows, West Bengal tourism initiative, just 10-15 mins from campus. But you need to stay for visiting Shantiniketan & Sriniketan leisurely and entirely.

Not that I got any personal grudge on West Bengal Tourism, for including all bad experiences. But really shocked to see the situation of Howrah side & less developed than other big cities in India.

Hmm. What else? Aayla. Royal Bengal Tiger ka ghar jana bhul gayi. He will really feel bad. Shuthi!!!

Kolkata..!!

If horseley hills is the place most remembered by me, Kolkata is next as it's recent. Pretty hot city with heavy traffic. Unpleasant first impression. Room was booked in hotel near Howrah station & its about one and half hour journey from Airport. Taxi was just like a solar pressure cooker. Thing fascinated me on the way was the city bus which looked like of 1970's model.

"isnt it looking retro??"

Howrah bridge really looked amazing with huge structure and trusses. Howrah station was of old model. Tab yaad aaya, Kolkata & Chennai capitals since British period.

"two views of howrah bridge.. inset is inner view while crossing it.. this snap took later in the evening.. you are not supposed to stop there for taking pictures it seems"

The first place to visit was Birla Planetorium, hindi show. Nothing different from any other planetorium. And later St.Paul's Cathedral. Its beautiful old church with pleasant surroundings.

We started for Victoria Memorial. It is a magnificent white building in a huge area with garden and a water body. Museum closed by 5. Opposite the monument is a big ground(may be called park). Horse-carts all-over fantasizing me and luring my royal sense [:P] . Next hault at Kali temple, place Kolkata mainly famous for. Driver ji informed us before-hand the attack of Pandits as we enter that temple premises. Escaping them we got into temple queue. Temple doesn't match your imagination(if you had any) with prior knowledge of its importance in Kolkata. Its a small temple, Garbha griha which cant stand a crowd more than 30-40 people. I was little scared awaiting to see a fierceful and violent deity. But the main idol and chamber around covered totally with flowers and hardly could have a sacred gaze of Kali matha. (bas matha ki jaban dekh sakte hai). As we were out my sister found with the red hibiscus garland given by the pandit. Later its understood that he pulled of the money from her which she was supposed drop in the hundi. Thing you oughta buy from that place is red & white bangles, typical of Bengali culture which goes with their traditional red & white saree. If possible don't miss few beautiful hangings used for decorative purpose. Shopping done at the place called new market. Visual treat for ladies, not much for girls. Dinner at a south Indian hotel ends the first day in Kolkata.

Next day we started late. Change of vehicle due to convenient purpose and the driver now Pramod Kumar Bhagat was a former guide. We got washed away in his eloquence. He described the position of development in West Bengal because of the communist administration for decades. We were on the way to Dakshineshwar temple crossing G.T.Road, Grand Trunk Road which used to be wide enough for 20 horses to ride side by side, as told by Devanand ji (our driver).

"Traffic of G.T.Road"

As we reached Dakshineshwar temple, mid-summer and time when shadow couldn't be cast without footwear. Temple is a newer one, bigger one with main deity Kali. Comfortable sacred gaze, except for the blisters my sister got. There was Hanuman temple & Hooghley flowing near-by but couldn't make it being a sunny day.


After lunch, we started for Belur Math, largest of all Rama Krishna mission Maths. Adjectives pleasant, silent, peaceful, serene explain everything about the place. The place includes temples of Rama Krishna Paramahamsa, Sharada Devi, other people who contributed for the movement and a museum which got all the personal belongings of them. Main temple in the premises is Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's. Its of North Indian style raised on a 4 feet platform, Mandapa, Mahamandapa, Garbha Griha axially placed, amalaka with elements like eave, cusped arch (sorry, just influence of my Indian Art course). This lies on the banks of Hooghley. There was the house where Swamy Vivekananda lived. Everything was protected and restored carefully. Photography strictly prohibited.

Kachi Kaliyon Ka

Kyon Na Mane Main Aawara Aashiq Hoon Galion Ka

Meri Phasne Ki Nahi Chahat Thi

KAMBAKKHT ISHQ.. Sung by KK, Sunidhi Chauhan..

kambakht ishq cheez hai hi aisi

ek baar jo ho jaaye

kar jaaye aisi ki taisi

aankho ke do peg ye pilaaye

kaali kaali zulfein bichhaye

phir ye le ke baahein mulayam

tumko jhat se sooli chadhaye

pehle to border pe yoon aaye

bheekh maange jholi phailaye

dil jo galti se de diya to

usse football ye khel jaaye

hogi kiski I Q hi kam

pyar jisne kiya

kehte hain ibaadat karenge

umr bhar ki chahat karenge

pehle ladki nilkli yahan se

in ki neeyat phisli wahan pe

kehti hai sau taare dila do

maang mein phir un ko saja do

antriksh ka theka liya hai

bhaade pe kya rocket liya hai

jo le seven easy se steps

muh ke bal gir gaya

BEBO.. Sung by Alisha Chinoy..

roko toko na ji

jaan tum se bandhi hai

ishq hai apni tu tu main main

chup ke chup ke mujhe

mud ke dekhe kyun ji

saari saari hi main

teri teri hoon ji

dor daale zamanna

mera dil nahi maana

teri ek hi nazar mein

dil ko hua hai ye ye wo wo

LAKH LAKH NAKHRE.. Sung by Neeraj Sridhar..

lakh lakh nakhre rehne de

chale na tere koi paintare

sandli badan waaliye

baba ka bag le ke

chali kahan uyi maa

maslegi heel neeche

kis ka dil uyi maa

teri ankha da lashkaara

tere lakh da hulaara

teri ankha da lashkaara

tere lakh da hulaara

mujh ko daalte hai

daana daana

gusse da bhaar

tere bas da nahi na

mere hi jaisa tujhe

jachega kamina

ni tu inni vi ni soni

mere layak vi nahi honi

ni tu inni vi ni soni

mere layak vi nahi honi

yoon hi jhel raha hoon

jaane jaana jaana

Let’s have some roula rappa

Wicked shiked si, duniya chal le
Ther bhi chal le, balle balle Ho gaayi

Oh hassi khusi mein, gham ki gaddi
Hawa mein uddi , voka talo Kho gaayi

Choodo choodo sab rone dhone
Choodo choodo dukh aage kone
Dekho dekho dil sone mone
Yeh life ki jist

And we twist

We’ll be singing dancing hot romancing
Masti all the time
Any season need no reason
For some place n feeling fine
Here’s the party, everybody
Move your body Shake shake
Break your body

Let the music play

Sone mone, mallo malli kar gaye talli
Aankh waank si ladh gayi

Botthle shootle kholi bina Daaru shaaru

Dekho dekho sab ghoom raha hai
Dekho dekho jag jhoom raha hai
Yahan wahan dil dhoond raha hai
Aab khusiyon ki list


AJJ DIN CHADEYA.. Sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan..

Ajj din Chadheya
Tere Rang Warga
Ajj din Chadheya
Tere Rang Warga
Phul sa hai khila Aaj din
Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
Woh jo mujhe khawab mein mile
Use tu lagede abb gale
Tenu Dil da Vasta
Rabba aaya dar de yaar de
SAra jahan chod chad ke
Mere sapne sawar de
Tennu dil da vasta

Baksha gunaho ko
Sun ke duwao ko
Rabba Pyaar hai
Tune sab ko hi de diya
Meri bhi aahon ko
Sun le duwao ko
Mujhko woh dila
mene jisko hai dil diya
Aasmaan pe aasmaan
uske de itna Bata
Woh jo mujhko dekh ke hase
Pana chahun Raat din jise
Rabba mere naam kar use
Tenu Dil da Vasta

Manga jo mera hai
Jata kya tera hai
Mene kaun si tujhse
jannat manga li
Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni
si bhi na chali
Chahiye Jo mujhe
Kar de tu mujhko ata
Jeeti rahi saltanat teri
Jeeti rahe ashiqui meri
Dede mujhe zindagi meri
Tenu dil da vasta


AAHUN AAHUN.. Sung by Neeraj Sridhar..

Gaddi Te Has Bol Ve

Aa Sanu Teri Rod VE

Mohabbat Muskil Bhari
Badi Hi Mast Bemaari
You Wana Let It Goin On
Mohabbaat Lami Yari
Bina Permit Ke Jaari
But Getch U Ride It On Yeah ,Com'on

Ankh Lad Jana Mar Muhk Jana
ek-o-ek Kahani Bas Badle Zamana

Mohabbat Dislan Bazi Purani Hokar Tazi
You Never See It Going Old
Mohabbat Se Rab Razi Dilon Ki Saude Baazi
Before You Know It Ur Heart Is Sold
Naino Ne Ladna Ladna
Panga Bhi Bhadna Bhadna
Jhadge Mein Naino Ke Yeh Dil Lut Jana

Nishaniyan NA Khoni Hain
Soni Hai Saanson Mein Pironi Hai Baatein Teri
Hairaaniyan Halaton Ki
Raaaton Ki Teri Mulakaton Ki Baaton Ki
Baaton Ne Chalna Chalna
Raaton Ne Jalna Jalna
Jal Ke Mohabbaton Mein Phir Jut Jana


CHOR BAZARI.. Sung by Neeraj Sridhar, Sunidhi Chauhan..

Chori Bazari Do Naino Ki
Phele Thi Aadat Jo Hat Gai
Pyaar Ki Jo Teri Meri
Umar Aai Thi Woh Ghat Gai
Duniya Ki To Pikkar Kahan Thi
Teri Bhi Abb Chinta Ghat Gai
Chanda Rre
Tu Bhi Tu Hai Mein Bhi Mein Hoon
Duniya Saari Dekh Ulat Gayi
Tu Na Jaane Mein Na Jaanu
Kaise Saaari Baat Palat Gai
Ghatni Hi Thi Yeh Bhi Ghatna
Ghatte Ghatte Lo Yeh Ghat Gayi

Tarif Teri Karna Tujhe Khone Se Darna
Haan Bhul Gaya Abb Tujhpe Din Mein
Char Dafa Marna
Pyaar Khumari Utari Saari
Baaton Ki Badli Bhi Chhat Gayi
Hum Se Main Pe Aaye Aise
Mujhko To Mein Hi Mein Kat Gayi
EK Hue The Do Se Dono
Dono Ki Abb Raahein Kat Gayi

Abb Koi Fikar Nahi Gum Ka Bhi Zikar Nahi
Haaan Hota Hoon Mein Jis Raste Pe
Aaye Khushi Wohin
Aajad Hoon Mein Tujhse Aajad Hai Tu Mujhse
Haan Jo Jee Chahe Jaise Chahe
Karle Raj Yahin
Laj Sharm Ki Choti Moti
Jo Thi Dori Woh Bhi Kat Gai
Chauk Chawbare Gali Molhalle
Khol Ke Main Saare Ghonghat Gai

Tu Na Badli Mein Na Badla
Dilli Sari Dekh Badal Gai
Ek Minute Mein Duniya Dari
Ki Saaari Samaj Nikal Gai
Haan Rang Biranga Pani Pe Ke
Seedhi Saadhi Kudi Begad Gayi
Dekh Ke Mujhko Hasta Gaata
Sadh Gai Yeh Duniya Sadh Gai


YEH DOORIYAN.. Sung by Mohit Chauhan..

Yeh Dooriyan
In Raahon Ki Dooriyan
Nigahon Ki Dooriyan
Hum Rahon Ki Dooriyan
Fanah Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Kyun Koi Paas Hai Door Hai
Kyun Koi Jaane Na Koi Yahan Pe
Aa Raha Paas Ya Door Mein Ja Raha
Janu Na Mein Hoon Kahan Pe

Kabhi Hua Yeh Bhi Khali Rahon Pe Bhi
Tu Tha Mere Saath
Kabhi Tujhe Milke Lauta Mera Dil Yeh
Khali Khali Haath
Yeh Bhi Hua Kabhi Jaise Hua Aabhi
Tujhko Sabhi Mein Paa Li

Tera Mujhe Kar Jaati Hai Dooriyan
Satati Hain Dooriyan Tarsati Hain Dooriyan
Fanah Ho Sabhi Dooriyan

Kaha Bhi Na Mene Nahi Jeena Mene
Tu Jo Na Mila
Tujhe Bhule Se Bhi Na Bola Na Mene
Chahun Fasla
Bas Fasla Rahein Ban Ke Kasak Jo Kahen
Ho Aur Chahat Yeh Aur Jawan
Teri Meri Mit Jaani Hai Dooriyan
Begani Hai Dooriyan Hat Jani Dooriyan
Fanah Ho Sabhi Dooriyan


MAIN KYA HOON.. Sung by KK..

Khwabon Ki Dehleezein
Kadmo Ko Ab Mere
Hai Choomti
Pahle Tha Main Peechey
Ye Duniya Ab Peechey
Hai Ghoomti
Main Kya Hoon
Main Kya Ye Batlaoon
Main Vo Hoon
Jo Chahoon Vo Paoon
Main Khud Se
Hi Vaade Nibhaoon
Main Vo Hoon
Jo Chahoon Vo Paoon

Ab Saari Raahein Khole Baahein,
Peeche Aayein Mere Manzilein
Ab Jaoon Jahan Lage Wahan,
Mere Hone Se Hain Mehfilein
Main Jeene Ka Andaaz Janoon
Main Khushiyon Ka Har Raaz Janoon
Main Janoon Jahan Ko Batlaoon

Ab Jaana Maine Jeena Kya Hai,
Kya Hai Poora Hona Khawaab Ka
Ab Dekhoon Na Vo Sochoon Na Vo
Jo Bhi Yahan Na Ho Khawab Sa
Hain Shamon Mein Ab To Savere
Hai Haathon Mein Ab Waqt Mere
Main Ooncha Iraadon Se Jaoon


THODA THODA PYAAR.. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan..

La La La La La La La La Ho Gayi Re
Beja Beja Beja Beja Ho Gayi
Hai Kudi Hui Mutiyaar
Aayee Roop Ki Bahaar
Kar Haar Te Singaar
Jab Nikli Bazaar
Munde Huey Pareshan
Dekh Roop Ki Dukaan
Bole Bhaari Hai Samaan
Lenge Bech Ke Makaan

Dekhe Mujhko Vo Aane Bahaane
Peeche Aaye Gali Naapta
Munda Hai Vo Ya Jhokha Hawa Ka Kya Pata
Yu Lage Har Ghadi,Har Jagah Vo
Jaise Mujhko Rahe Dhoondta
Munda Hai Vo Yaa Jhokha Hawa Ka Kya Pata
Peencha Bhi Naa Chhode Mera
Chuppi Bhi Na Tode
Keh Bhi Na Paaye Dil Vaali, Vo Savali...
Mere Dil Ka
Mere Dil Ka Hua Aisa....Mehram
Thoda Thoda Pyaar Aa Gaya....
Ho Mere Dil Ka Hua Aisa Mehram
Thoda Thoda Pyaar Aa Gaya

Ek Gabru Jawaan
Aisa Hua Be-Imaan
Bandook Teekhi Taan
Bola Lootna Samaan ...

Jaane Kaise Hain Uske Iraade
Main Na Jaanu Vo Kya Chahta
Dhoondhe Uski Nigahe Kya Mujh Mein Kya Pata
Soch Keh Do Badan Pe Tu Mere
Yun Chhuri Si Nazar Na Chala
Dhoondhe Uski Nigahe Kya Mujh Mein Kya Pata
Ek Tak Dekhe Mujhe Thandi Saasein Leke
Karta Ho Jaise Rakh Vaali Vo Savaali,
Mere Dil Ka
Mere Dil Ka Hua Aisa Mehram
Thoda Thoda Pyaar Aa Gaya
Ho Mere Dil Ka Hua Aisa Mehram
Thoda Thoda Pyaar Aa Gaya
