Lata drove the listeners CRazy

The second line of Bholi Soorat Dil Ke Khote, from Albela (1951), was the idiom, “Naam Bade Aur Darshan Chhote”, which refers to those who have big names (or reputations) but fail to live up to the hype.

But far from being anguished (as the aforementioned line would ordinarily suggest), the folks who sang it – Lata Mangeshkar and Chitalkar (who also composed it) – seemed to be having a ball taunting each other about being broke and their sartorial choices, make-up and accessories.

The track, penned by Rajinder Krishan, was three minutes and 54 seconds long.
