MUMBAI: It is no secret that RJ Malishka is an ardent fan of Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan. When talking to Radioandmusic.com, as part of her ‘Editor for a Day’ role, the bubbly RJ offered her list of favourite songs of Big B, which she thinks every fan should listen to.

This track from the movie ‘Kaalia’, is a must have in every Amitabh Bachchan fans’ playlist. The song is sung by Kishore Kumar, and composed by RD Burman. The song is famous for its catchy and groovy tunes and lyrics, even though it begins with gibberish words like “Dhing tapapat dingri pa pa,” which syncs well with the guitar in the background.
