The famous Dhan Te Nan song by Vishal Bharadwaj is infact not so recent. It is a decade old to be precise. But do not doubt Vishal Bharadwaj, he is no Pritam, the old song too was composed by Vishal Bharadwaj in a tele-film by the name Dhan Te Nan. The tele-film had Sharman Joshi in the lead role.
Speaking about the same Vishal says, “Dhan te nan was not designed specially for Kaminey. I had first used it in a telefilm called Dhan Te Nan. I had used that catchphrase and the tune in that telefilm.
Vishal admits that the time is for catch-phrases ka zamana hai.
“We’ve to admit people want catch phrases. But Dhan te nan isn’t the first. What about so many R.D. Burman tracks in the 1970s? What about Apalam chapalam fifty years ago?
Check out the video of the original Dhan Te Nan song minus the beats of the new one.
