Lata’s solo was a gem

The only thing that came to my mind when I thought of the soundtrack of Padosan (1968) were the four tracks (Kisho)rendered by Mr Kumar, and Main Chali Main Chali.

I later realised that I had skipped a wonderful Lata Mangeshkar solo from the film.

The song in question was Bhai Battur.

And, with a duration of four minutes and 39 seconds, it was, interestingly, longer than three of the songs sung by Kumar in the film (but, of course, shorter than Ek Chatur Naar).

Rajinder Krishan penned the song, which R D Burman composed.
