This song is from the blockbuster movie " My name is Khan".
Star Cast : Shahrukh Khan And Kajol!
Director : Karan Johar
Music director : Shankar-Eshaan-Loy
This is our melody queen's first song of the year!!! What a way to start the year!!
This soulful, depth song has been sung by Shankar Mahadevan, Adnan Sami & ofcourse our soulful diva Shreya Ghoshal!!!
This song runs for approx - 6 mins and 37 seconds.
The instruments used are modern instruments as well the classical instruments like tabla to create the sufi mood
The genre is definitely a mixture of country,qawali, Sufi & Classical..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This awesome rendition starts off with the breathless male singer Shankar Mahadevan singing " Noor -e-khuda" but playing with notes...Then we start to hear the notes of the guitar playing a country tune...
Through out the song Shankar Mahadevan and Adnan Sami shares parts n lines.
Remember how I said this song had a depthfull meaning??
It does, this song's about reaching god, finding god.
Let me now skip to the best part.. You guessed it :- Shreya's Part!!!
Our melodious diva comes in at approx 3:56..singing the aalap " aaaaaaaa" in her own unique,honey soaked voice but playing with the notes..Then she sings just a few sargam lines " Ga ma pa niiiiiiiiiiii......sa ga...." Its very hard to describe the way our princess has sung this song.. It just touches my heart instantly.
After the last few lines of the aalap the tabla comes in and she starts to belt out her soothing voice singing. " Ujde Se Lamhon Ko Aas Teri "... " Khali aankhien khudse sawal kare" asking different questions to god,expressing sorrow and sadness!!
Then she sings " ruh jam si gai...Waqt tham sa gaya..Toote khwabon ke manzar pe..Tera jahan chal diya"
Here are Shreya's next few lines with chorus:-
Noor E Khuda Noor E Khuda - chorus
tu kahan chhupa hai humein yeh bata - Shreya adding her own soothing and classical touch to it, playing with the notes.
Noor E Khuda Noor E Khuda - Chorus
yun naa humse nazarein firaa. - Shankar and Shreya....singing amazingly high notes!!
Here is the review of the song from another site and I completely agree to them
Noor-E-Khuda wants to be gospel until Shreya Ghoshal segues into the track at four minutes of enduring both Shankar Mahadevan and Adnan Sami trying to reach out to God in their feeble pop-ish attempt. Must be something about Saraswati being in the ‘kanth’ of a woman; it’s only when Shreya pitches in that the track begins to take a prayer to the skies."
One of my fav and very close to my heart!!!..Hatts off to our diva and all the singers..WE hope to hear more Shreya Ghoshal and Shankar-Eshaan-Loy combo soon!!!

MMM latest news!!!!
According to our source, "For the upcoming episode that is to be aired this weekend, Shreya had to make an entry, where she had to climb the steps to the stage while simultaneously mouthing a few lines from the soundtrack that was being played. However, Shreya kept stumbling during the shoot, because the nails on the steps kept pulling at her sari. The poor thing couldn't decide on what to concentrate more, the singing or the sari."
The source goes on, "Eventually Shreya asked if she could skip the first few steps, and when the director gave the go ahead, Shreya started climbing the steps from halfway and made the intended grand entry."
Adds the source, "Shreya's challenger in this episode, Shankar Mahadevan, showered Shreya with compliments. Shankar said Shreya looks so gorgeous that she already seems like a winner. And that he doubted whether he would win. Shreya replied gracefully that even if Shankar lost it he should take it as a compliment because Shreya considers him his guru and the victory of a student is always a compliment for the teacher. Shankar too said that he will be happy if indeed Shreya won the face-off."

Zoobi Doobi Nominated!!
Shreya Ghoshal our nightingale has been nominated in the 16 th Star screen awards for "Zoobi doobi" from 3 idiots
Here are the nominations!!
Shreya Ghoshal - Zoobi Doobi
Kavita Seth - Iktara
Shilpa Rao - Mudi Mudi
Sunidhi Chauhan - Mere Sang
Rekha Bhardwaj - Genda Phool
Here is my review of 3 idiots once again.. Read the last few lines!! My prediction came true!!! Not the whole review just highlights..:)
Zoobi doobi - Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam
shreya has shown her versitaile voice in this song. This song starts witth the nightgale's voice in a melodious tune. The lyrics are " gun gunati hain yeh hawaein, gun gunate tah alam........".
Then sonu starts " zoobi doo param pam ".
Throughout the song it's a kind of 60's , 70's feeling.
shreya as always did a wonderful job with this song and the way she sang it i cant describe it in words. The way she changed her pitch and emotions from romantic to goofy, no words for it. Hats off to Shreya di
We havent heard too much of shreya and Sonu's duets in 2008 but then halfway down 2009 we've started hearing more Shreya and sonu duets.
Thankyou Shreya di for giving us such a wonderful song.
This song was composed by Shantu Moitra and sung by shreya and sonu
I have a feeling Shreya di will get nominated for this song and also win it!! :)
