Mukesh’s version was truly awesome

If the two tracks from Saraswatichandra (1968) on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, as well as in the ascending order of their durations, the male version of Chandan Sa Badan would be first – it was three minutes and 57 seconds long.

I knew it was – and continues to be – among Mukesh’s most outstanding numbers, but I wasn’t aware of its female version. It was 33 seconds shorter than the male version, and was rendered by the one and only Lata Mangeshkar.

The track, which was penned by Indeevar, was composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
