Connoisseurs loved this Lata rendition

Those who grew up on a diet of 1980s masala flicks would only associate Balma with Shakti Kapoor.

But over three decades earlier, Jaipuri prefixed the word, which means beloved, with the (Has)rather sophisticated Rasik, which means connoisseur.

And one cannot deny the fact that Raj Kapoor (a namesake, but not a relative, of the aforementioned actor) had a taste for the finer things in life – his muse was Nargis, and the music of Chori Chori (which included the Lata Mangeshkar solo) is worth listening to on a loop.

It was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
