Sharda sang it with Rafi

Composer Shankar Singh Ram Singh Raghuvanshi was raised in Hyderabad, so it was fair that he (and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal) had a ‘Duology with Telugu Phrases’.

While one was Ramaiya Vastavaiya [from Shree 420 (1955)], the other was the subject of this post.

It was titled Badkamma Badkamma Ekkada Potav Ra.

That could be translated to, “Badkamma, where are you going?”

And it happened to be the only song from the 1969 film Shatranj in my collection.

Sharda Rajan Iyengar joined Mohammed Rafi behind the microphone for the song, which was written by Kiran Kalyani.
