Mr Raina (To)chipped in too

Pardesi, the third track from Dev.D on this blog, was as long as the Brass Band Version of Emosanal Attyachar. In other words, it was just four minutes long.

Shailender Singh Sodhi (a.k.a. Shellee) penned it.

The Amit Trivedi composition, rendered by Tochi Raina, was noted for its use of colloquialism and rustic flavour, as was evidenced by lines like, “Meetha sa chadha hai bukhaar” and “Gaanv ki karo beda paar”, and words like, “bantadhaar” and “baawri buch”, which may have taken a while to grow on listeners who are unfamiliar with that region’s lingo.
