Lata and Usha were aMe(e)nable

It is possible that Duniya Mein Hum Aaye Hain Toh – from Mother India – has brought LUMps to the throats of many Hindi film aficionados.

The track, which is three minutes and 36 seconds long, was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and her siblings, Meena (the second of the five) and Usha.

And the listeners did get the impression that Lata’s Ma(ngeshka)(te)rnal instincts kicked in when she sang for the film’s leading lady, Nargis (who played a mother raising two young lads in an Indian village).

It was penned by Shakeel Badayuni and composed by Naushad Ali.
