(Ud)It wAS an underrated track

I vaguely remembered recently Baant Raha Tha, because it was another of those songs whose promos were frequently on air when I was in school.

It was the only song from the 1999 film Bade Dilwala in my collection.

Three singers lent their voices to the song.

Of those, only one was a lady.

No prizes for guessing that that was none other than Alka Yagnik.

She was joined behind the microphone for it by Udit Narayan and Shankar Mahadevan.

The song, which was written by Qateel Shifai, was composed by the late Aadesh Shrivastava.
