The longest song
on the soundtrack of Roti Kapda Aur Makaan – Mehngai Maar Gayi –
was eight minutes and 51 seconds long.
And, as the common
man in India will vouch for the fact, it is relevant even 45 years after the
film’s release.
The song was
rendered by Jani Babu Qawwal, Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh, Narendra Chanchal and a
chorus.
Verma Malik penned
the Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition, which can be dedicated to Mukesh on his
birth anniversary, and the film’s producer, director and star, Manoj Kumar, who
was born on July 24, 1937, on his 82nd birthday.
