Most mujra songs in Hindi movies are rather “light” in nature in the sense that the clients as well as the mujra performers seem to be at ease with themselves. In reality, performing mujra as well as going to kotha to watch these performances was regarded as disreputable acts.

A gem of a comedy song, from a film I do not know anything about. This song, apparently performed on the screen by two friends, looking for romance in life, and bemoaning the fact that there is possibly no love in this world without money. The poet has turned this emotion into a set of comical verses, and the music director has arranged a very fast paced music, and the appropriate sounds to make this hilarious statement on the state of affairs of young hearts pining for romance. By the time this riotous song comes to end, I am sure you will be ripping with laughter, at the fate of these two gentleman friends with a very lopsided view of what this world and this youth is all about.
