Just as a young and freshly scrubbed Manisha Koirala collected the raindrops in her sari pallu and then splashed Anil Kapoor with them in this number, the audience too felt sprayed by the refreshing appeal of the song.

1942's music was the musical highpoint of its era. Javed Akhtar's rich lyrics were much appreciated. And, of course, this was R D Burman's swan song. Fittingly, the maestro who had composed many an outstanding rain song from his first film, Chhote Nawab (Ghar aaja ghir aye badra saawariya) onwards, had a memorable monsoon melody in his last offering too.
