Lata’s Didication left everyone Aahing

In the 1950s, it is presumed that nobody asked what the odds of a song that began with the name of the film’s director were. The song in question? Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat from Aah, directed by Raja Nawathe.

And, call it a happy coincidence if you please, but the Shankar Jaikishan composition, penned by Shailendra and rendered by Lata Mangeshkar, is popular to date.

A line in the song, which is three minutes and 29 seconds long, went, "Rani ke maathe sindoor.” The 1997 film Raja Ki Aayegi Baaraat marked Rani Mukerji’s Bollywood debut.
