A generation rediscovered Nazia Hassan

Disco Deewane, the debut album of Nazia Hassan, released in 1981 and became a chartbuster. The Pakistani pop star was 16 then. She died in 2000, at the age of 35.

Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani didn’t just revamp the eponymous track for Student of the Year, but they also retained her voice. It was rechristened The Disco Song.

It was the longest song in the film – five minutes and 42 seconds, to be precise. Dutt’s lyrics, coupled with Benny Dayal (Chauh)and Sunidhi’s rendition [(Gupt)and Dadlani’s English V(ish)(oc)als], were An(in)vitation to hit the dance floor.
