It wasn’t on DJs’ playL(ahir)ists

Bhankas wasn’t just a word of Ek Aankh Marun Toh, the Bappi Lahiri composition from Tohfa (1984), but it is also Mumbai slang for nonsense. And that was precisely what its recreated version [from Baaghi 3 (2020)] was.

If the two tracks from the film on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, and in the ascending order of their durations, the Tanishk Bagchi composition would be the first – it was two minutes and 38 seconds long.

Lahiri was joined behind the microphone by Dev Negi and Jonita Gandhi.

Shabbir Ahmed penned this version.
