Ek Bar Bach Gayi - Meri Adalat by Asha Bhosle, Shabbir Kumar

The Meri Adalat album has several strong tracks, but Ek Bar Bach Gayi - Meri Adalat is the one most listeners come back to first. The music, composed by Bappi Lahiri, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

Asha Bhosle, Shabbir Kumar understood what this song required and delivered it without excess — the restraint itself becomes the emotion. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Ek Bar Bach Gayi - Meri Adalat, making it as much a performance as a song.
