It was S(an)ung with attitude

Well, the title implies that a track like Chhammak Chhallo can be sung without what Indians who speak English call attitude. And guess what? It can’t.

Because the name of the song, from Ajay* (1996), meant a flashy girl in Mumbaiya slang, the language used by taporis, who have a lot of attitude.

Kumar Sanu rendered it.

Sameer penned the Anand-Milind composition.

(*Note: The title of the film, which also happened to be the name of its protagonist’s character, was, incidentally, the name of Sunny Deol, who played it. He was born Ajay Singh Deol.)
