Shweta, the pop Sensation, disappointed

Lalit Sen rendered Poster Lagwa Do Bazaar Mein, from Aflatoon.

The track was composed by his uncle, Dilip Sen, and brother, Sameer Sen.

Hence, the pressure to sing it well was coupled with the fear of letting the listeners down.

Unfortunately, the latter was what happened.

Lalit was joined behind the microphone by Shweta Shetty, who was typecast as a singer of chalu numbers.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that her rendition was disappointing as well.

The track, which had another version – a solo by Lalit – was penned by Anand Bakshi.

Remo rendered this Aflatoon track

The word Aflatoon means eccentric or mad.

In fact, a few people must have wondered whether Anand Bakshi, who penned Aflatoon Aflatoon (the title track of Aflatoon, which released in 1997), lost it when he wrote a line containing the word telephone and another containing the word junoon*, which don’t rhyme.

Remo Fernandes crooned the Dilip Sen-Sameer Sen composition.

[*Note: It went, “Kis number pe karoon telephone, dil mein talaash teri chehre pe junoon” (which meant, “On what number can I call you? Your search is in my heart, and there’s passion on my face.”)]
