ThiS VerSion wasn’t a (Gand)hit

In 2001, Egyptian pop singer Hisham released a popular number titled Habibi Dah (Naari Narain).

The Naari Naari Song, a desi version of the track, would have made the listeners go, “Ab bas”*.

Vayu penned the song, which was from Made In China and was three minutes and 16 seconds long.

It was composed and sung by Sachin-Jigar, who were Jo(nita)ined behind the microphone by Ms Gandhi and Vishal Dadlani.

[*Note: That wasn’t just a play on the crooner’s surname (Abbas), but also a Hindi phrase, which could be translated to, “That’s enough for now”.]
