Wallah! Kishore da jawaab nahin

Just as Kishore Kumar’s talent wasn’t limited to singing, his charm knew no linguistic boundaries.

So the phrase Kishore da in the title of this post doesn’t just mean older brother Kishore (as he was affectionately called) in Bengali, but also of Kishore in Punjabi.

For the title, a line of Maana Janaab Ne Pukaara Nahin, from Paying Guest, was rephrased.

Figuratively, it means, “Oh my God, Kishore da is amazing!” And, indeed, he was.

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the track, which was four minutes and 16 seconds long.

It was composed by S D Burman.
