Melody and masti were Ma(ngeshka)rried

A chorus, comprising only members of the fairer sex, joined Lata Mangeshkar, Bollywood’s eternal bachelorette, as she sang Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau Choodiyan Hain.

Anand Bakshi penned the sangeet staple from Chandni.

The film released on September 14, 1989, and was a hit, as was the song. There couldn’t have been a better gift than that for Mangeshkar, who became a sexagenarian a fortnight later.

At five minutes and 34 seconds, this Shiv-Hari composition was the longest song on the soundtrack.

But hopefully no one complained, because they got more bang(les) for the buck.
