The former’s popularity also rose, thanks to a majestic music video that featured model/actor Milind Soman who had caught the fancy of the public.Ī significant share of the album’s success also goes to Biddu who served as a producer and lyricist to most of the tracks. In Made In India, she marvels at how she craves a heart that is ‘made in India’ while in Lover Girl, she simply tells her partner that she would offer her heart if he offers her his own.
It was a simpler sense of romance that probably resonated with young audiences of the time. Chinai’s songs, on the other hand, represented a more casual form of love that didn’t require over-the-top sacrifices. In fact, Made In India happens to be her eighth studio album! She had marked her musical debut with the Platinum hit Jadoo, following it with future albums and occasional Bollywood playback credits.Īround that time, film music had a tendency to be overly dramatic in its notions of unrequited love. Even though the song continues to be the most well-known entry in her discography, the pop star had been in the industry for quite some time.
Modern-day audiences might think of Made In India as her debut. One can simply argue that Made In India shaped not just Chinai’s career but also the entire Indian independent pop scene. While non-film music had already been an underground phenomenon with occasional airplay, Chinais album fared so well in terms of sales, that its success could be comparable to Hindi film music. Little did she know that this track (and its accompanying album of the same name) would grant her the status of the Queen of the then-nascent Indipop scene. The opening frames of the video for Made In India features an animated book that narrates the story of a princess known as Alisha.
