Kumar’s inK(ish)o(mpa)rable passion bore fruit

Lyricists from the Golden Era of Hindi film music seemed to be fascinated with China.

Majrooh Sultanpuri’s memorable line, “Jaate the Japan, pahunch gaye Cheen”, literally means, “We were going to Japan, but landed in China”.

But, in the context of Hum The Woh Thi from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, it meant, “It was unexpected”.

But hey, no one complained, because the track, which was composed by S D (Burm)and was three minutes and 44 seconds long, was inK(isho)redibly catchy.

Kumar (Tennes)seemed to bE(rn)i(nspir)ed by Ford again. On this occasion, it was The Watermelon Song.
