Lata sang this ‘Tota-Maina’ (Kisho)‘redux’

Shashi Kapoor’s Tota-Maina songs from Chor Machaye Shor (1974) and Fakira (1976) had a couple of similarities – Lata Mangeshkar rendered both the Ravindra Jain compositions.
But there were three differences between Tota Maina Ki Kahani (the only song from Fakira on this blog) and its predecessor.
Firstly, it wasn’t just composed by Jain, but he penned it too (unlike the 1974 track, which Rajkavi Inderjeet Singh Tulsi penned).
Secondly, it was (Kisho)rendered by Mr Kumar. Mohammed Rafi sang the song from Chor Machaye Shor.
And lastly, it wasn’t picturised on Mumtaz, but on Shabana Azmi.
