I am fond of saying that Bollywood movies have one great “Chitthi” (letter) song every decade, beginning from 1960s. Thus we had Likhe jo khat tujhe(Kanyadaan)(1968) in 1960s, Daakiya daak laaya(Palkon ki chhaon mein)(1977) (Palkon Ki Chhaaon Mein” in 1970s, “Chitthi aayi hai aayi hai” (Naam) in 1980s and Sandese aate hain(Border)(1997) (Border) in 1990s.

I have noticed that every decade we get one iconic “chitthi” song that moves the listeners. In 1977, it was ” daakiyaadaak laaya” and in 1986 it was “Chitthi aayi hai aayi hai chitthi aayi hai”.

Before “Chitthi aayi hai” became the most popular “Chitthi” song, it was this song that was regarded as the last word among “Chitthi” songs. The present generation may not have heard of this song.
