Anuradha and Sudesh sang it

In the past, whenever I thought of Dhanno, all I could remember was Basanti’s (Hema Malini) mare in Sholay (1975) or R D Burman’s song from the 1977 film Kitaab, Dhanno Ki Aankhon Mein.

But there was a non-Pancham Dhanno in the 1990s.

It was a song titled Dhanno Ki Aankh Sharabi.

And it happened to be the second song from the 1999 film Lal Baadshah in my collection.

The two people who (Bhos)lent the song their voices were Anuradha Paudwal and Sudesh.

It was written by Shyam Raj, and was composed by Aadesh Shrivastava.

Ms Chauhan joined the Narayans

With the addition of the subject of this post to my collection, there were a couple of songs from Shastra (1996) in it.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Ladki Deewani Ladka Deewana would be the second.

While that was how the song was credited on the film’s soundtrack, the third word of the song was Dekho.

Sunidhi Chauhan, who was barely into her teens at that point, joined the father and son duo of Udit and Aditya Narayan behind the microphone for it.

Shyam Raj wrote the song, which Aadesh Shrivastava composed.
