This song is from the 1999 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama musical film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (= Straight From the Heart). The film is based on Jhaverchand Meghani’s play Shetal ne Kathe.
Music was composed by Ismail Darbar to the Lyrics penned by Mehboob Kotwal. Sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy and Karsan Sargathia. Nimbooda or lemon is very precious in the state of Rajasthan. Dedicating the whole song to it is some achievement.
