All time favourite Hindi Song 1

I love this Asha Bhonsale, Bappi Lahiri song.

There’s Parveen Babi looking like a million bucks in that shiny, tight black number. Playing the cool and enigmatic seductress. Check out her Clinic Plus Sunsilk hair. See the way she literally glides across the floor? She can’t dance at all, but who cares?

Then there’s the suspense. Will Shashi Kapoor fall through the trapdoor? (And save us the embarrassment of watching him dance) Will Amitabh save him? What about Parveen’s mummy who is being held hostage? What will those pantyhose villains do next? Will Ranjit die of emphysema? (Poor fellow is chain-smoking in all songs).

Tension. Tension.
