A still from Dum Laga Ke Haisha and (inset) Anu Malik

Earlier this year, the Moh Moh Ke Dhaage track from critically acclaimed film, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, won two National Awards — one for playback singer, Monali Thakur and another for lyricist, Varun Grover. Now, its Sanskrit version written by Rajendra Bhave and rendered by Shrirang Bhave has won Doordarshan’s unique contest, Vaartavali, which calls for translating Hindi songs into the ancient language.
