"Mukkabla" is a Tamil song (later dubbed into Telugu and Hindi) composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by Vaali for the 1994 film Kadhalan. The song also features vocals by Mano, Swarnalatha and A. R. Rahman. The song was a chartbuster in contemporary Tamil music and became very popular all across India, despite the song being Tamil. Muqabla became the flavour of the year. The song was played at every club, disco, restaurant, marriage hall and street corner across the country and went down in Indian movie history as one of the most popular songs of all time. With this song Rahman became a nationally recognised figure. The song was plagiarised freely by Bombay's tunesmiths and nearly a dozen versions of the song were churned out, a feat that earned 'Muqabla' and Rahman a place in the Limca Book of Records, the Indian equivalent of the Guinness Book of Records.[1]
The immense national popularity of the song, led to subsequent dubbed versions in Telugu and Hindi.
Music video[edit]
The song is picturised as a cowboy dance sequence featuring the lead characters Prabhu (played by Prabhu Deva) and Shruthi (played by Nagma). Production designer Thota Tharani erected a huge set depicting a cowboy town. State of the art CGI was also used in the video.
