Manna De(finitel)y had a bLa(ta)st

When a folk song in a Hindi film goes on to become immortal, one must simply admire the effort put in by the folks involved in its making.

And if the song in question is O Daiyya Re Daiyya Re Chadh Gayo Paapi Bichhua from Madhumati, the respect is undoubtedly Man(na)ifold. After all, it was rendered by Mr Dey and Lata Mangeshkar.

The track, which was penned by Shailendra, could be translated to, “Oh my god, a scorpion has stung me!”

It was five minutes and 23 seconds long, and was composed by Salil Choudhury.
