O Ramji Bada Dukh Dina – the six-minute, four-second long track
from Ram Lakhan – was a song Lata
Mangeshkar was expected to take to like a du(c)k(h) does to water. So it wasn’t
surprising that she rendered it beautifully.
The
Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition was penned by Anand Bakshi. And because he loved
to KISS (keep it simple, stupid), his use of Ramji didn’t border on the
ambiguous.
Ram – the name
of Jackie Shroff’s character in the film – was suffixed with the honorific ji (used across India as a term of
respect), because he was Lakhan’s older brother.
