Kumar (Kisho)rendered this Shaandaar song

Roop Tera Mastana, from Aradhana, was the song that earned Kishore Kumar the first of his eight Filmfare Awards in the Best Male Playback Singer category* in 1970.

Anand Bakshi penned the S D Burman composition.

Kumar also rendered its Bengali version (Eto Kache Dujone).

Three key members of R D Burman’s team of musicians – accordionist Kersi Lord, percussionist Homi Mullan (who played the duggi) and saxophonist Manohari Singh – were instrumental in the popularity of the track, whose remixed version – rendered in the 1990s by Shaan – also became popular.

(*Note: It is still a record.)
