It wasn’t a high-(A)quality trAcK


In 1997, the Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group Aqua launched their debut album Aquarium, which included a single titled Barbie Girl.

That it became popular in India would be an understatement.

And one Hindi film music director was inspired by the track – a certain Rajesh Roshan.

His composition was titled Tumne Jo Kaha.

It was from Laawaris (1999).

The song was rendered by Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Kavita Krishnamurthy.

The listeners wanted to say, “Kar lo pakka iraada” (which means, “Make a concrete plan”) to Roshan to avoid composing a forgettable number like this.

Javed Akhtar penned it.
