(Pig)Eons ago, Lata was S(u)P(er)B

Kabootar Ja Ja Ja, from Maine Pyar Kiya, proved that neither Lata Mangeshkar nor S P Balasubrahmanyam could be pigeonholed. They were accompanied by a chorus.

Incidentally, the name of the kabootar – entrusted with delivering Bhagyashree’s first love letter to Khan – was Handsome, an adjective often used to describe the film’s leading (Sal)man.

A (Koh)list of songs about our feathered and furry pals would definitely be incomplete without mention of this track, penned by Dev.

At eight minutes and 24 seconds, it was the longest song on the film’s soundtrack, which was composed by Raamlaxman.
