A quintessential Pancham-Asha-Gulzar song. The stand-out feature of this track is the odd 17-beats in the first line of the mukhra, when the rest of the composition is in 8-beats. A treat for the trio's fans.
Album : Dil Padosi Hai (1987). Singer : Asha Bhosle, Music Director : Rahul Dev Burman, Lyrics : Gulzar. This album is the perfect example of Pancham's musical-flamboyance and elan, Asha's enchanting vocals and Gulzar's sublime poetry coming together. In this track, Pancham's unconventional music-sense shines through. The classical base to the composition, generous use of electronic music, the smooth blend of synths with taar-shehnai and above all the odd 17-beat mukhra. This 'split' (of 8+9 beats) rhythm has been debated at length in music forums. When asked about this, Asha said, "Oh, I never knew it was 17 beats. RD broke the tracks and mixed them in such a way I always thought it was 16-beats". Asha described this album as " the best album of my life and very close to my heart ".
