"Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan" is a 2001 song from the film Dil Chahta Hai, composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, performed by Shaan and Kavita Krishnamurthy and written by Javed Akhtar. The song stars Saif Ali Khan and Sonali Kulkarni.
The track is frenzied Celtic music with bluegrass fiddling accustomed by Ehsaan's acoustic guitar riffs and flute. The song essentially launched singer Shaan's career, as it was the first hit of his career.[1]
The song is known for its comical picturization, where choreographer Farah Khan pays tribute to Bollywood, for the first time. The song spoofs the 60s, 70s and 80s of Hindi Cinema uniquely and funnily through the immensely peppy and already-chartbuster song.[2] The scene features Sameer played by Saif Ali Khan and Sonali Kulkarni who plays Pooja, going into a theater playing a musical, and sees themselves in screen instead. The song pays homage to the 60s, 70s and 80s as it progresses.[3]
