The all-rounder was on (Kum)aroll

Simti Si Sharmai Si – a song with an alliterative title – was the only song from Parwana (1971) on this blog.

No prizes for guessing that it was rendered by the one and only Kishore Kumar.

It was, in fact, a pleasant surprise, because Madan Mohan Kohli, the composer of the track, employed him sparingly, preferring to use the vocals of Mohammed Rafi more often*.

The song was penned by Kaifi Azmi.

(*Note: Even the soundtrack of this film was Rafi-dominated. However, one song from the film – Yun Na Sharma – was rendered by Kumar and Rafi.)
