It wouldn’t be (Nit)incorrect
to say that So Gaya Yeh Jahan, from Tezaab, was Mukesh’s son’s redemption
song.
He was nearing
the end of the second decade of his career – which, by no stretch of the
imagination, was remarkable – when the Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition came his
way.
Fortunately, Kumar,
the other man who lent his voice to it, didn’t do too Shabb(ir)y a job. They
were joined by Yagnik, who could be (Al)kalled Ms Dependable.
The six-minute,
four-second-long track – which will P(and)e(renniall)y be associated with
Chunky (on whom it was picturised) – was penned by Javed Akhtar.
