Manna De(finitel)y puppetuated his (La)talent

Jahan Main Jaati Hoon, the song from Chori Chori, was one of the gems by a quintet whose outpu(ppe)t can only be described in one word: phenomenal.

A string of words were pu(ppe)t together by Shailendra. All of those were simple enough for the lay Hindi film music buff, or one who merely possessed a basic knowledge of the language, to understand.

The tune was composed by his (pup)pet collaborators, Shankar and Jaikishan.

And, of course, it could not have been rendered by a more (pup)pe(rfec)t pair of singers than Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar.
