Mukesh stRu(c)k a harmonious note

Ruk Jaa O Jaanewaali, from Kanhaiya, became popular because its picturisation left Hindi film music buffs confused.

While some folks think it is being sung for Nutan’s character, there are those who think Raj Kapoor’s character is instructing a bottle of alcohol to stop.

Irrespective of the category one falls into, both are right.

Being picturised on Kapoor, it goes without saying that the song was penned, composed and rendered by the usual suspects (Shailendra, Shankar Jaikishan and Mukesh, respectively).

It was one of the songs in the Antakshari sequence of Maine Pyar Kiya (1989).
