Jumma Chumma De De, the
chartbuster from Hum, was inspired by
Mory Kante’s Tama.
The latter
was penned by Anand Bakshi and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Interestingly,
Jumma (the name of Kimi Katkar's
character) is also Urdu for Friday (the day Hindi films release), while Chumma is Hindi for a kiss.
The song,
which Sudesh Bhosle and Kavita Krishnamurthy rendered, was apt, given that at
that point, there was a slump in Amitabh Bachchan's career.
It took
him a while to bounce back following the professional setbacks, but the
aforementioned words eventually proved to be prophetic.
