Chinai’s solo was a Ja(a)m

Raat Bhar Jaam Se was a song from the 1989 film Tridev.

Jaam, by the way, is Urdu for, “A glass of an alcoholic beverage”.

So, the pun in the title of this post is on the word jam, which is slang for a favourite song.

Of course, it wasn’t my favourite, because I heard it recently (though I was aware of it).

It was rendered by Alisha Chinai, and of the five tracks from the film in my collection, it was the only solo.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
