Sukhwinder wasn’t just the Sing(h)er

Sure, people were aware that music had worsened since A R Rahman made his debut, but those who believed he was synonymous with great soundtracks would have been delighted, because Chinnamma Chilakamma, his bilingual composition from Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities (2004), was a pretty catchy number.

It was penned and rendered by Sukhwinder Singh.

My first thought on listening to it was that someone must contact the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals pronto, because one of its lines went, “Titli daboch li maine” (which means, “I have grabbed a butterfly”).
