The hook line of this song, sung by Amitabh Bachchan, appears to be an adaptation of an Indian folk song. The folk song was popular among the Indian immigrants of the West Indies and was adapted for various chutney music renditions. Amitabh had performed this song on his live tour with Kalyanji - Anandji in 1982. Kanchan and Babla recorded the same song later for their album "Kaise Bani" (1983).[1]
