The (Mal)inimitable Kumar (Kisho)rendered it

Despite the fact that the dialogues of Sholay became more popular than its songs, some tracks were listed on the Binaca Geetmala annual lists in 1975 and 1976.

Koi Haseena – the four-minute track in the film – was a case in point: it was 30th on the list in 1975, and 20th the following year.

The song was (Kisho)rendered by the one and only Mr Kumar.

He was joined behind the microphone by the film's leading lady, Hema Malini (whose only line in the song was, “Hat saale!”).

Anand Bakshi penned the R D Burman composition.
