Kishore, the singing star, capitalised

New Delhi hasn’t only been India’s capital for the last 105 years, but was also the title of a Kishore Kumar-starrer which released in 1956.

One of its songs, Nakhrewaali, was sung by Kumar himself. Interestingly, the media has often labelled him as a nakhrewaala.

Yodelling is a form of singing that became his trademark. Although this wasn’t the first song in which he yodelled (and, to the delight of his fans, not the last either), it continues to be among the most popular.

The track was penned by Shailendra and composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
