Prologue: A friend's constant posts about some of the late 80s and early 90s tapori Bollywood songs prompted me to create this series Originally planned to post songs from Hindi (Indian Language) films only. Then I decided to find such songs in Telugu (= Indian Language), my mother tongue; and English. If you come across any songs in any language that would fall in this category, feel free to comment and I will post about them too.
Tapori = typically means a street thug with unique style of language; similar to ghettos. However it is crudely also used to mean something meaningless yet totally fun.
Bemaina = Urdu word for meaningless
Gaane = Songs
Next on this list Tirchi Topiwaale from 1989 Indian Hindi language action thriller film Tridev (= Trinity), pictured on Naseeruddin Shah and Sonam. Music was composed by the famous brothers duo Kalyanji-Anandji; Lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi; and background vocals provided by Amit Kumar and Sapna Mukherjee.
