Didn’t composer-crooner Bappi (Jana)kill irony?

As far as Hindi film songs are concerned, there’s no two ways about the fact that the baap of all ironies was, “Sona nahin, chandi nahin, yaar to mila” (which could be translated to, “I may not have got gold or silver, but I found love”).

It was a line from Yaar Bina Chain Kahan Re, the only song from Saaheb (1985) on this blog.

The song wasn’t just composed, but also rendered by the one and only Bappi Lahiri.

He was joined behind the microphone by S Janaki.

The track was penned by Anjaan.
