Aga Bai, it wasn’T(haku)really (Kholga)delightful

Completing the trilogy of songs penned by the Amitabhs and having a Maharashtrian touch on this blog was Aga Bai.

Mr Bhattacharya penned the song, whose title was a Marathi expression of surprise that literally means, “Oh lady!”

Spread across my blogs, it was the second track from Aiyyaa (2012).

It was, in fact, the longer of the two – it was four minutes and 25 seconds long.

Although the Amit Trivedi composition, which Shalmali Kholgade and Monali Thakur rendered, was a tad disappointing, it is possible that it grew on some listeners after repeated hearings.
