Inchikidana!
Q: Try it. Talk to any Iranian about an Indian film or song or... and most likely
he or she will say, "Inchikidana!" What is the origin of "Inchikidana"?
A: It's from the Raj Kapoor's 1955 flick "Ichak dana beechak dana." The
Iranians mispronounce it as "inchikidana." The riddle song is one that
made the movie popular. Music Director: Shankar Jaikishan Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri.
