28. Indipop Collaborations

Lucky Ali/ Kavita Krishnamurthy – Gori Teri Aankhen Kahe is One of the non-guitar and quite un-Lucky songs, as in it sounds more like a Bollywood song than a Lucky Ali album song.

My favourite bits of the song are quite unsurprisingly the female portions when Kavita sings – Dil Mein teri yaad hai tera
