The year was 1998 when Sohail Khan’s directed film Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kiya was released in the cinemas. The film starred Salman Khan and Kajol in the lead role, who had previously worked together in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Karan Arjun, but Kajol was paired alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
As soon as the film was released in the theatres, it became a blockbuster and Muskan (played by Kajol) and Suraj (played by Salman Khan) became our favourite couple and we were also rooting for Suraj, who won our as well as Vishal’s (played by Arbaaz Khan) heart. Along with the film, its characters such as Suraj’s friends, Chacha (played by Dharmendra), Kajol’s brother Vishal, or its funny scenes such as the iconic cricket scene.
There are so many things that cater to this film being a box office hit, the most prominent being its iconic song O O Jaane Jaana which became so popular and is still the ultimate party anthem to this date.
So, how did O O Jaane Jaana become an ultimate party song?
It was sung by Kamaal Khan
There's no doubt that this song by Kamaal Khan is what people remember the movie for the most. Although Jatin-Lalit is credited with writing the song, they actually recreated the original track from Kamaal Khan's unreleased album of the same name.
In 1995, Kamaal penned and produced his breakthrough hit, O O Jaane Jaana,' in London. The song was released in 1996 and quickly became popular in the UK, earning platinum status. The song was, however, simultaneously included in Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya and made its global debut in 1998. Kamaal Khan was able to win a Filmfare RD Burman Award for Best New Talent in Music because of the revamped version, which was considerably more lively than the original.
Shirtless Salman Khan
O O Jaane Jaana was the first song in which Salman Khan appeared shirtless, which established somewhat of a trend in the years to come. The story goes that the t-shirt that Salman was meant to wear in the song did not fit him because they were filming the song in a remote location outside of the city. Later, Salman decided that he would go shirtless for the song.
The song became an iconic hit and entered Indian pop culture
The song went on to become a huge hit in the ’90s and became a cult favourite for the youth. It became so popular that it entered Indian popular culture, and the scene has been recreated numerous times in the Indian cinema.
