It was vulgar but kicKASS

A line that went, “Har ajnabee pe dil ki yeh khidki nahin khulti” (which can be translated to, “The window of my heart doesn’t open to every stranger”) could never be wished away.

Although it was laden with double entendre, it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that it was catchy.

The aforementioned line was from O Lal Dupatte Waali. The track, from Aankhen, was five minutes and 53 seconds long.

The quartet that (Bhos)lent its voice to it comprised Alka Yagnik, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Kumar Sanu and Sudesh.

Indeevar penned the track, which Bappi Lahiri composed.

These SingerS deserved full MArKS

Yes, there is a tinge of sarcasm in the title of this post, but on a serious note, it would certainly not be incorrect to state that the soundtrack of Aankhen included a song that was sanitised (unlike the others, which kept the members of the Censor Board occupied).

The track in question was Chaukhat Pe Tumhari Hum.

It was half-a-dozen minutes and 47 seconds long.

The trio who rendered it – Mohammed Aziz, Kumar Sanu and Sadhana Sargam – deserved the credit for surprising the listeners.

Indeevar penned the track, which was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

MonkeyinG Ar(o)un(d) certainly wasn’t ClASsy

The monkey in Aankhen was truly a rockstar – not only did he share screen space with Chunky Pandey and Govinda, but he was also eulogised in a song, Bade Kaam Ka Bandar.

It was, incidentally, the longest of the four songs from the film on this blog – it was six minutes and 59 seconds long.

The aforementioned actors (Bhos)lent their voices to the track, as did Arun Bakshi.

They shared singing credits with Mohammed Aziz and Sudesh.

The track, which became popular with the masses, was penned by Indeevar.

It was composed by Bappi Lahiri.

It waS(adhan)a mildly offensive (Sa)number

On listening to the songs of Aankhen, which released in 1993, a purist would say, “I can’t believe my kaan”.

This blog contains posts on four songs from the film. Of those, Angna Mein Baba was the shortest – it was five minutes and 49 seconds long.

One of its lines went, “Akeli hoon ghar maa, tu aaja baalma” (which can be translated to, “I’m home alone, come over, my love.”)

The duet, which was rendered by Kumar Sanu and Sadhana Sargam, wasn’t rocking, but was shocking.

It was penned by Indeevar.

Bappi Lahiri composed it.
