Made in India went on to become one of the highest selling pop albums of its time and Alisha became a household name. After Hassan rejected the offer, Biddu then wrote the song for Alisha Chinai. However, Hassan refused to come out of retirement for the song, as she thought the lyrics may offend her fans in Pakistan. Unlike many hits of the time, such as Shweta Shetty’s Johnny Joker (1993), Paree Hoon Main has endured because Lesle Lewis’s killer tune aside, its music and arrangements don’t sound dated.Biddu originally wrote the song "Made in India" for the famous Pakistani popstar Nazia Hassan, who Biddu had previously worked with. Paree Hoon Main was released in 1991, at least four years before Indipop consolidated itself as an alternate musical force. Here is the ultimate playlist of the most memorable Indipop songs that have survived newer talent, remixes and the scene’s eclipse by Bollywood. Most of these videos survive on YouTube, inviting comments that are nostalgic as well as perspicacious and range from “takes me back to my school days” to laments about the death of melody. This was also the decade of music videos, ranging from the artistic to the tacky, the thoughtful to the cheesy. Indipop (most of it in Hindi) became a full-fledged parallel industry in the ’90s, giving serious competition to Hindi film music and creating its own galaxy of star composers and singers. Among our favourite things that got remixed and ruined in the decade that is just behind us were our most beloved tunes from the ’90s. Indian Idol Season 11 contestant Sreeramachandra’s rendition of Shankar Mahadevan’s Breathless brought the spotlight back on the timeless track. A question recently asked on Kaun Banega Crorepati sent people flocking to the YouTube video of Remo Fernandes’s 1990s hit O Mere Munni.
