It was the year 1991 when Amitabh Bachchan brought an action crime film. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan it had stars like Rajinikanth Govinda Kimi Katkar Deepa Shahi Shilpa Shirodkar and Anupam Kher. Big B won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film while Chini Prakash won the Best Choreographer Award for a song. This film was also the second highest-grossing film of the year 1991. Apart from the cast and story of this film the most talked-about aspect was a song.
This song was Jooma Chumma De De. This song was written by Anand Bakshi and the music was by Laxmikant Pyarelal. This song was sung by Sudesh Bhosle and Kavita Krishnamurthy. This song was such a superhit that it created a stir in every house.
Singer of Jooma Chumma De De Sudesh Bhonsle talked about the success of this song in a TV show. He said that he was able to complete this song after staying hungry for 17 hours. He was also getting nervous in front of Amitabh Bachchan. When the song Jooma Chumma De De was being recorded Big B was also coming in between. Sudesh was very nervous in such a situation. He completed this song in 17 hours. Meanwhile he kept drinking 25 cups of tea. Sudesh also shared laughingly that later he had acidity.
There is a famous story about this song that this song was first written for Agneepath. All the preparations were also done. But then the director felt that this song would not fit the kind of character Amitabh Bachchan was playing. In such a situation this song could not be used then. Then instead of Joomma Chumma De De he put the song Ali Baba in Agneepath in which Archana Puran Singh was seen.
Take a look at the video:
After this song actress Kimi Katkar became famous in every household. Everyone called her Jooma Girl. She is seen in the song with Amitabh Bachchan and both of them got a lot of love.
