few Hindi film soundtracks have featured renditions by Fernandes, but the man

to instant fame pan-India when he penned, composed and sang the title track of
the 1987 film, which mostly comprised repetitions of the line, “Dekho Dekho Yeh Hai Jalwa”.
Incidentally, he
also made a special appearance (as himself) in the song.
At that point,
it was one of the longest Hindi film songs.
