"Aati Kya Khandala" is part of the movie [[Ghulam (film)|Ghulam]]. In the movie, Alisha ([[Rani Mukerji]]) is upset after a fight with her father. Her friend and lover Sidhu ([[Aamir Khan]]) tries to cheer her up by singing the song "Aati Kya Khandala". Literally, the song is a request to come to [[Khandala]], a scenic holiday location near [[Mumbai]], the city where the film is not situated.<br />

Aamir Khan is the playback singer for himself and [[Alka Yagnik]] is the playback singer for Rani Mukherji.<br />
