MERA NAAM CHIN CHIN CHU

Song 7: 17 Mar 2013


At other times she could enthrall dancing gazelle like, mesmerising with that pixie like grin and crinkly eyes. She was exotica served in a sarong, a ditty from faraway places that had miraculously fallen in your kitty, a thrill to take the chill pill with, a steamy dream boat with delicious mysterious dimsums to discover. Geeta Dutt's rendition of this song triggered the imagination like never before, exposing Indian audiences to pleasures beyond the seven seas, of dangerous silk routes and the delectable treasures beyond. The name "Chin Chin Chu" is probably taken from Chu Chin Chow, a popular British musical comedy from 1916. This song by O P Nayyar and Qamar Jalalabadi became a raging hit, paving way for many songs with phoren flavours. Helen who was a such an incredible talent, one of Burma’s best imports into India took Indian movies by a veritable storm with her stunning dance performances. She morphed into many seductive avatars later, bringing costumes right from Lido to Moulin Rouge into Indian movies. Here though she is simply a boost of forbidden flavours, fresh, youthful and lively. The effect, to say the least was addictive!:-))
