That’s (Al)kalled an awesome ‘number’

To say that Alka Yagnik’s seven-minute, 37-second-long song from Tezaab (1988) became a chartbuster would be an understatement.

(Dix)It made the twinkle-toed Madhuri an overnight sensation and earned her a moniker – the Ek Do Teen girl.

Those who wanted to know the Hindi words for numbers (1-26) simply had to listen to this number, which was penned by Javed Akhtar and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal (who were nominated for Filmfare Awards in the Best Lyricist and Music Director categories, respectively, in 1989).

Yagnik bagged the first of her seven Filmfare Awards for Best Female Playback Singer.
