(Am)It was indeed Al(i)kable track

Majrooh Sultanpuri took grammatical liberties in the zany Hum Toh Mohabbat Karega, which was sung by Kishore Kumar.

Thirty-four years later, he did the same while penning the catchy Naam Hai Mera Fonseca, which was rendered by Kumar’s son Amit and Alka Yagnik.

The song, from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, was four minutes and 41 seconds long.

It obviously did not go to become as popular as the Dilli Ka Thug hit, but that was because of the key difference between the two – the JJWS track, which was composed by Jatin-Lalit, was a situational song.
