We all remember the pretty face, the wet white sari, and the waterfall that turned into a national obsession. But what if we told you that Mandakini gave much bolder scenes in one of her films than Ram Teri Ganga Maili?
The film was Singhasan, a lesser-known action drama helmed by director Krishna. While Ram Teri Ganga Maili defined Mandakini’s legacy, Singhasan gave audiences a déjà vu, only this time, the colour of the sari changed, not the impact.
In a twist of on-screen fate, Mandakini found her co-star in Bollywood’s original gentleman, Jeetendra. The duo lit up the screen in the sensuous song “Wah Wah Kya Rang Hai”, drenched under a waterfall and lost in melody. Known for his clean image and quiet grace, Jeetendra paired surprisingly well with Mandakini’s bold charisma.
Much like her Ganga moment, Mandakini appeared soaked, but in a black sari this time, romancing Jeetendra with the same ethereal charm. The visual similarity was impossible to miss, and fans of the era know how the song quickly gained popularity. Credit also goes to Bappi Lahiri for the soundtrack and the unmistakable voices of Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle that elevated it.
Singhasan wasn’t just about Jeetendra and Mandakini. The film also starred Jaya Prada, Waheeda Rehman, Pran, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Radha, and Amjad Khan — a lineup that could give any 80s blockbuster a run for its money.
