This was an Iyer solo

A film titled Charas released in 1976.

An unrelated film of the same name released in 2004.

The tagline of the latter was A Joint Effort.

I remember watching the film once, but I did not recall anything about it.

But when I was writing this blog, I suddenly remembered one song from the film.

It was titled Yeh Dhuaan.

And there’s no two ways about the fact that it was an appropriate title, because it could be translated to, “This smoke”.

Mahalakshmi Iyer sang it.

Javed Akhtar wrote the song, which Raju Singh composed.
