Ms Sulakhe San(u)g this number

My blog on the music of Hindi films that released between 2000 and 2009 contains a post on one track from the 2002 film Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam.

Not only was the subject of this post – Gale Mein Laal Taai – shorter*, but the mood was exactly the opposite too.

Maya Govind penned the song, whose transliteration was not off the mark – Taai, a misspelling of tie, was the repeated word in the colloquial Hindi phrase, “Taai Taai Phish”.

Bela Sulakhe and Kumar Sanu rendered the Bappi Lahiri composition.

(*Note: It was exactly half-a-dozen minutes long.)
