The vocal on Main Hoon Kacha Chor - Kachha Chor is among the better performances Asha Bhosle, Mahendra Kapoor has committed to record. Featuring Randhir Kapoor, Rekha, the song carries the weight of the film's emotional arc and delivers it with conviction.

1977 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Main Hoon Kacha Chor - Kachha Chor was among the reasons why. There is no right time to listen to Main Hoon Kacha Chor - Kachha Chor. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.
