Ms Mangeshkar’s co-Sing(h)er was Bhupinder

If the three tracks from Parichay (1972) on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, Beeti Na Bitayi Raina would be the first.

The R D Burman composition, which was five minutes and 23 seconds long, was rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupinder Singh*.

It earned the former the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 1972.

Gulzar, who penned the song, directed the film as well.

(*Note: His other contribution to the soundtrack was Mitwa Bole Meethe. The shortest track in the film, it was three minutes and 19 seconds long.)
