This is a relatively less known number by Rahman from 1-2-ka-4. The movie bombed at the box office I guess, but had some good melodies- including this one and sona nahi na sahi. Found an excellent karaoke track for this one on an esnips page… and it was a long pending idea to do a duet with fellow blogger Rajesh Raman and it somehow never took off until this one.

Needless to say, Rajesh is remarkable. One of those singers who we should be lucky to have here, among us. A little about the original: A sensational duo, Sonu and Lata have sung this. Lata, despite the shake and all other age related factors sounds so expressive. I wish I could isolate her singing from her voice…

Sonu: Amaaazing as always. Check out a live version by them at the Unity of Lights concerts with Rahman here: Sonu is adorable!
