Mukesh sang this immor(La)tal duet

To say that India’s second submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was cineMa(dhu)matically excellent would be an understatement. It wasn’t nominated. 

But that certainly did not Mat(hu)(te)r, because the songs of the film, including Dil Tadap Tadap Ke Keh Raha Hai (which was three minutes and 27 seconds long), are timeless cLa(ta)ssics.

The track, which can be translated to, “My heart is yearning for you and beckoning you”, was rendered by Mukesh and Ms Mangeshkar anD(i)lip-synched by Mr Kumar and Vyjayanthimala.

It was penned by Shailendra and composed by Salil Choudhury.
