 A fun song and a good melody. This song conveys similar sentiments to the classic 'yahi bahar hai' but is not even in the same stratosphere. What I want to know is how come Lata consented to singing lyrics like 'mujhe kali se phool bana de...'. Didn't she always have a problem with such lyrics? For example, the song 'o maine pyar kiya..' had similar lines, but were changed and she also refused to sing 'ang lag jaa balmaa....'(for which I am glad, since she couldn't have even come close to Asha's rendition). Why did this great singer adopt such double standards? Was the 'sati savitri' image so important to her? Why?
