This Holi tracK became popuLa(ta)r

In the past, it was not uncommon for the soundtracks of Hindi films to feature a Holi song, and by no means would it be incorrect to state that Holi Ke Din was one of the most popular song sequences that revolved around the festival of colours.

The longest of the five songs from Sholay on this blog, it was five minutes and 42 seconds long.

It was (Kisho)rendered by the one and only Lata Mangeshkar, who was joined behind the microphone by Mr Kumar.

Anand Bakshi penned the track, which R D Burman composed.
