This track certainly wasn’t run-of-the-MILl

By the late-1980s, Hindi film music buffs were mo(u)rning the death of melody, and perhaps stating that legendary singers had become an endangered species – fortunately, not the fate of the peahen, which was mentioned in Choodiyaan Khanak Gayeen from Lamhe (1991).

However, India’s nightingale, Lata Mangeshkar was a notable builder of the bridge between the Golden Era and the modern one. Ila Arun and Moinuddin shared singing credits with her.

Penned by Anand Bakshi, the song, which contained an excerpt of Moinuddin's Mhaare Rajasthan Ma, was composed by Shiv-Hari.

Mangeshkar sang its sad version too.
