Here is an out and out tapori song that became an out and out evergreen classic song, and an iconic song if ever there was one.
I am sure when this song first appeared on the air waves, it must have taken everyone by storm. Listening to this audio itself is such a wonderful exhilarating experience, and when one watches the video of the song, the roof has no option but to fall down.

This song is a fun timepass song or tapori song, whichever classification suits you. The movie itself was a lighthearted movie.
