Song 27:
When it comes to the dancing singing divas, this song is one sung brilliantly by Asha. The song is an irresistible invitation to heavens and beyond, an offer you couldn't refuse. Although after those subtle B&Ws this one may seem almost garish with Babita going rather OTT. She looked nice(Karishma and Kareena's mom after all!) but was a pathetic actress and is kinda overdressed here, overdoing the drunk bit. But those were times when anything to do with women and drinking had to be portrayed in a very negative light. Cliched stuff about how women couldn't handle drinks and would run amock at parties if they as much as sniffed wine and snifted some brandy. Then they would be difficult to control making rather pretty asses of themselves!!!
But even in an inebriated state they managed to spout some heavy shayari: "Hamaraaz hamkhayaal to ho hamnazar bano, tay hogaa zindagi kaa safar hamasafar bano." Heavy and so true!!! Infact one can omit watching the video and just listen to the song, and it has a totally different effect. That was the magic of radio after all. What I like is the way Asha has delivered some very Arabic sounding alaaps and not to miss the perfect hickups. Now tell me which music tutor teaches those??!!!
Music is by O P Nayyar and lyrics by either S H Bihari/ Noor Dewasi.
