Notes & Background

Marjina Abdallah (1972) contains some of Salil’s most exciting and energetic compositions. The soundtrack is notable for its rhythmic power and melodic richness, especially in the first and last tracks.

“O Bhaai Re Bhaai” features electrifying drumming in the prelude — the same rhythmic idea that Salil used in the famous Nellu song. The energy and momentum make it one of the standout choral pieces.

“Haay Haay Pran Jaay”, sung by Lata Mangeskar, is a timeless Salil–Lata classic, showcasing her emotional range blended with Salil’s sophisticated orchestration.

“Baaje Go Binaa” stands out as one of Manna Dey’s finest collaborations with Salil — technically brilliant and emotionally powerful, with a majestic melodic structure.

The title music is also unforgettable — especially the second half, which develops into a beautiful flowing waltz with lush string arrangements, showing Salil’s mastery of Western orchestral texture.
