Soundtrack

The music for the film was composed by C. Ramchandra and the lyrics were written by Rajendra Krishan. The song "Eena Meena Deeka", sung by Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar in two different versions, became very popular.[2] It was one of the Hindi cinema's first rock and roll numbers.[3] The words of the song were inspired by kids playing outside composer C. Ramchandra's music room.[4] The kids were chanting "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe", which inspired Ramchandra and his assistant John Gomes to create first line of the song, "Eena Meena Deeka, De Dai Damanika". Gomes, who was a Goan, added the words "Maka naka" (Konkani for "I don't want"). They kept on adding more nonsense rhymes till they ended with "Rum pum po!".[4] The title of the David Dhawan film Eena Meena Deeka (1994) was inspired by this song.
