B(h)a(in)sically, Dey had a blast

If the two tracks from Pagla Kahin Ka (1970) on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, Meri Bhains Ko Danda Kyon Maara would be the first.

There's no two ways about the fact that the song – which was composed by Shankarsingh Raghuvanshi and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal, and could be translated to, “Why did you beat my buffalo with a stick?” – elicited chuckles.

Hasrat Jaipuri penned the track, which was rendered by the one and only Prabodh Chandra Dey, a.k.a. Manna Dey. It was the latter’s only contribution to the soundtrack of the film.
