Bicycle thieves certAiNly loved it

Although music director Anu S Malik (yes, the son of Sardar) deserves a kick up his backside for repeated plagiarism, I am pretty sure the Italian director Vittorio De Sica wasn’t on his list of inspirations.

Yet, he, in tandem with his maamu (maternal uncle), the veteran lyricist Jaipuri, made bicycle thieves’ Hasrat come true in Bhabhi, which released in 1991.

The track was titled Sone Ki Cycle Chandi Ki Seat.

And its next line went, “Aao chalen darling, chalen double seat” (Partners in crime, anyone?)

It was rendered by Anuradha Paudwal and Nitin Mukesh.
