Mr Kapoor’s Holi track wAshard

To say that Hindi filmmakers love Holi would be an understatement. So it was no surprise that the soundtrack of Navrang, whose title could be translated to new colours, comprised a song about the festival.

By no means was Arre Ja Re Hat Natkhat – which was rendered by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle – easy to sing, so Hindi film music aficionados must say hats off to the duo for rising to the Ch(it)al(kar)lenge posed by Ramchandra, the ComposeR of the track, which could be translated to, “Go away, naughty one”, and V(y)as penned by Bharat.
