Its popularity KouLdn't be doubted

Kanchi Re Kanchi Re, from Hare Rama Hare Krishna, was four minutes and 57 seconds long.

The song, which was composed by R D Burman, was based on a song titled Kancha Re Kancha Re [which was composed by Ranjit Gazmer*, who was fondly called Kancha (Nepali for boy), and a member of Pancham's team of musicians].

It was penned by Anand Bakshi, and was (Kisho)rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Mr Kumar.

(*Note: Gazmer played the madal, a Nepali drum. It is the national instrument of the Himalayan kingdom and used by folk musicians there.)
