Ahista Ahista (Bachna Ae Haseeno - Cover with George Kuruvilla)

Ahista Ahista (Bachna Ae Ha... Lyrics & Chords

This is a peppy, romantic number from the recent film, Bachna Ae Haseeno. I really like this one and asked George if he would sing it with me. Thanks a ton George for agreeing! U have done a brilliant job as always. And thanks for all the suggestions/feedback during the course of recording this one. It helped a lot!

George suggested that Sunny is the right person to mix this one. Thanks a lot Sunny for doing this for us! I can totally see why George wanted u to mix it….its just fabulous!

So folks, here is our attempt at this recent number. Please pour in your thoughts.

Song: Ahista Ahista
Film: Bachna Ae Haseeno
Music: Vishal Shekhar
Orig Singers: Lucky Ali, Shreya Ghoshal
Cover by: George Kuruvilla, Smitha Passanha

Glad to be the first one to post a comment on this song. Mixing was top notch, felt like listening to the original.

Smitha, you were pretty good in rendering the song, expressions were great, felt the energy levels were a bit low…. remember the girl is singing about the way she feels for the first time in her life. And the way you sang “Hua Hai Pehli Baar” could have been better.

George, you were great man, there were no diction issues as far as I am concerned. You are getting better in Hindi renditions too…. way to go bro.

Keep up the good work guys.

My views on this rendition:

Smitha: energy was low, dint match as the original….Shreya’s voice in this one has a lot of punch and smoothness…….was good singing overall but was more on the surface rather than getting into the song and feeling it……

George: i am not going to compare ur vocals with Lucky ali cos i dont think he is a singer……cos he cannot even record 3 lines in one take…….so u did way better than him……just felt lack of energy in ur parts too….i would say that it was a slightly thanda performance…….
ur first word of the song was not clear……its DIL GIRA….sounded like u sang YIL or something……smitha told me its Yun, but even if then, it dint sounded like DIL or YUN……some places like in the mukhda u need to stretch the notes for this song, like the last word aaaahistaaaaaa as in the original cos the sudden end leaves some music piece devoid of vocals…….2:23, KI TU JI RAHI HAI was off scale….dint get the curve in the notes there……

good attempt overalll……i love the overlapping parts at the start of every antara….u guys did great there

Not an easy song to sing and mix, u both did reasonably well and mix was good too……Great work sunny……

Regards,
Rahul/AJ

Just too good guys…:) Today I was WFH and I started playing this song. My wife came to scold me coz she thought that I was listening to songs and not working. She thought it was original :)
Singing and mixing was verrrrry good…. keep it up!!!

Dhiraj – Thanks for the feedback. The song was to be rendered softly and maybe in that attempt, I missed out on the romance :-) Points noted. Thanks a lot!

Mohammad, Neha – Thanks a lot! Glad u liked our effort.

AJ – Thanks for listening! Will work on getting the feel right. About the lyrics, it is not “Dil Gira”….its “Yun Gira”. The phrase says “Yun gira gira hai chaand yaa… teri hai roshni”. “Dil gira” doesn’t make sense there. Also, we did not try to make it sound like the original so u will see differences for sure. Thanks for your detailed feedback though!

Pravin – Yours is probably the best comment on this song so far :-) I think the mix makes it sound like the original….so again credit goes to Sunny! George and I will take credit for the singing :-)

I am not too familiar with the song ….but liked your attempt. I can see the amount of work which has gone in to sing this long song. I liked your rendition ….you both sound very professional. I agree the mix should have projected your vocals more ….no offense sunny :-) The harmonies were done very well.

Full stars from me for this package ….

Smitha : good smooth singing. you were always there in rhythm. but i felt the energy level was bit on the lower side… but u gave your own touch to the song, especially i liked the way u sung ‘hua yeh pehli baar’. Overall nice rendition.

Goerge : simply gr8 ! :) …… almost better then original…. and i say ‘almost’ cause i don’t want to compare ur rendition wid lucky ali’s. guess he w’d have sung this song in 100 parts… anyways, the mixing was excellent and singing was perfect… i don’t know whether the minor lapse at around 2:24 was cause of some recording anomaly or not? … keep up the good work bro

Jane Mathew said

I agree with d above!! it does sound like original…great mixing job done…specially harmonies sound too gud!!!

Smitha: U got feel right in this song, and i also felt u sang this quite passionately…u could sing with more energy considering this is a peppy number…i really liked some parts in pallavi, feel got captured better there.

George: U got the complete style and attitude needed for this song…i guess ur voice s better suited than lucky ali’s for this song :)i noticed one or two off pitch parts… harmony was gr8!!

Great show guys!! keep singing….

Vijay (away...) Iyer said

Smitha/George,

First of all incredible mixing. You guys did good job to get the feel right most of the time. But some peppiness was missing here-n-there. Vocals by George were too good. Smitha, you did a very good job as well (could have been better for my liking, less passionate for such a romantic number). Felt minor pitching issues.

Keep up the good work guys,
Regard,
-Vijay

AJ – No worries :-)

Ramya, Punith, Sanath, Jane, Vijay – Thanks for the feedback guys! I think most of the comments for my part of the song is abt lacking energy so that is something I will definitely work on in the future. I agree that George’s voice suits the song more than Lucky Ali’s!

Sanath – Glad u liked the personal touch to the song :-)

One of Vishal-shekhar’s, which I would say has stuck in my mind for while LOL

Smitha: Felt a little more softness in this rendition would have brought wonders to the feel of the song. No other major issues though. Good effort!!

George: Shows your range well, and good song pick for your tone. Mostly good vocals excepting a probable pitching issue at 2.23/24 (Ji RAHI hai). Also, at 2.18 when you start the stanza, something fishy about the way the notes progress, where as the 3rd line @ 2.26/27 which is essentially the same notes as the 1st line seemed totally fine :-)) Is it just me hearing that?

Nice cover overall….

Thank you all for the feedback. Really appreciate it. As Smitha mentioned, Sunny mixed this for us. He doubled my vocals, panned it and introduced a slight delay between the doubled vocals. So at certain portions, the two tracks dont sync (especially when I introduce vibratos) and sound a little off. 2:23/24 is a prime example. There are many other examples throughout the track. Hope this clarifies some of the confusion.

George, u were mindblowing in this song. No issues from my side apart from one slip up at 2:24. Apart from that, I completely disagree with my better half’s views upstairs :) You were able to create the mood of the overall song very well….

Smitha, Way to go girl….I can sense u becoming a Pro very soon….ur effortless singing was very good and suited the song very aptly……love the way u sang, “hua yeh pehli baar”….the baaar was a killer at times……very nice….

Harmonies, mix and backing vocals were nice……great effort went in this song which is easily visible……

Great work guys……cant wait to hear some more……

Cheers,

Good one…. Good job George… You sing really well. Sur was out of place only in few places… It is the same with most of us… I know.

This song is good range… Nicely done George.

Smitha, very good. Nicely sung. However, the echo could have been more to your voice to sustain the feeling… Singing was up to the mark.

Keep it up you guys! :)
