The Bachchan magic was waning

Between the ages of 45 and 55, Amitabh Bachchan played the lead in a string of indifferent films, one of which was Jaadugar (1989). It was his seventh (and last) collaboration with producer-director Prakash Mehra, and the duo's only flop.

Hindi film music aficionados can’t – and mustn’t – forget Kalyanji-Anandji’s contribution to the success of the first four Mehra-Bachchan films.

Keen to repeat it, the foursome teamed up for Padosan Apni Murgi from the aforementioned film.

Javed Akhtar penned the track, rendered by the actor in his distinctive baritone.

Sadly, it was nothing to crow about.
