It was bizarre but K(avit)atchy

Telephone Dhun Mein Hansnewaali must have conjured up the image of a woman whose laugh sounded like a ringing telephone.

But since that didn’t have a nice ring to it, it must have amused the listeners no end. 

The song, which was from Hindustani, was six minutes and 15 seconds long.

It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the song, which P K Mishra penned, became popular because it was absurd (Can someone explain what its second line, Melbourne Macchli Machalnewaali, meant?)

A R Rahman composed it.

It was rendered by Hariharan and Kavita Krishnamurthy.
