Mukesh’s cL(at)assic inspired Rishi’s title

If the two tracks from Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai (1960) on this blog were to be arranged in the alphabetical order, Aa Ab Laut Chalen – the clarion call to return home – would be the first.

It was the second song in Mukesh’s ‘patriotic’ trilogy of 1960.

He was joined the microphone by Lata Mangeshkar.

The track, which Shailendra penned, was four minutes and 15 seconds long.

It was composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

It inspired the title of Rishi Kapoor’s directorial debut, which released in 1999. Incidentally, that was R K Films’ last offering.
