It wAs(h)a reason for (Kum)arrest

Dhoop Mein Nikla Na Karo – the only song from the 1985 film Geraftaar in my collection – was, undoubtedly, one of the favourite songs of eve-teasers.

The next line-and-a-half of the song, which was written by Indeevar, went, “Roop ki rani, gora rang kaala na pad jaaye”.

By no means would it be incorrect to state that if one were to sing it off-screen, the song would have justified the title of the film (which could be translated to, “Arrested”)

The song – which was sung by Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle – was composed by Bappi Lahiri.
