It was an Abhijeet solo

My collection contained a couple of songs from Dastak, which released in 1996.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, the subject of this post would be the second.

Interestingly, this song was one of the two versions of a song, which was titled Tumhe Kaise Main Bataoon (which means, “How do I tell you?”)

The next line of the song went, “Tumhe kaise main kahoon” (which means, “How do I say it to you?”)

Abhijeet rendered both the versions of the song, which was penned by Javed Akhtar, and composed by Rajesh Roshan.

It completed Mangeshkar’s ‘Meternal’ Duology

I would like to start this post with an explanation of the fourth word in its title – it is a portmanteau of the words ‘maternal’ and ‘eternal’.

And I coined it because I believed that that summed up Mai Ri Main Kase Kahoon.

It was the second song from the 1970 film Dastak in my collection.

Lata Mangeshkar lent her voice to the song, which completed her ‘Meternal Duology’ on this playlist.

One of the best expressions of pain in Hindi films, the song was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

It was composed by Madan Mohan.
