Video Description

Singer: Asha Bhosle Music: Rahul Dev Burman Film: Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971)

Dum Maro Dum is an Indian Hindi song from the 1971 Bollywood film Hare Rama Hare Krishna. It was sung by Asha Bhosle and chorus. The song was picturized on Zeenat Aman. It was written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Rahul Dev Burman. It has been remixed and sampled by many other artists. The song was a hit in the 1970s, and gained cult status in India.

The song was picturized in Kathmandu. It shows Janice (Zeenat Aman) in her hippie attire, smoking cannabis or hashish and swaying under the effect of the herbs while hypnotically crooning the “Dum Maro Dum”, encouraging one to “take another puff'”. She dances with a look of ecstasy on her face. Later in the movie, Dev Anand replies to the song by singing Ram Ka Naam Badnaam Na Karo (“Do not desecrate the name of Rama”), sung by Kishore Kumar.
