It was not Lata’s (Ra)finest

It is necessary to (Laa)give a man credit where it is due. Laagi Chhoote Na Ab Toh Sanam, from Kali Topi Lal Rumal, was a catCh(hoote)y track composed by Chitragupta.

However, it wasn’t the best rendition by either Mohammed Rafi or Lata Mangeshkar (and I am speaking purely from the standpoint of the duets they’ve sung).

This song was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Although translating it may not make sense, here’s what it could be translated to – “Now, my beloved, we have a connection. I swear on you it won’t break, even if I’m heartbroken.”
