This was another Asha-Kishore duet

With the addition of the subject f this post, my collection contains five songs from Yeh Vaada Raha, which released in 1982.

If they were arranged in the alphabetical order, Ishq Mera Bandagi Hai would be the first.

It happened to be one of the four duets in the film to which Asha and Kishore Kumar (Bhos)lent their voices.

The involvement of Gulshan Bawra in the film was not restricted to writing all the songs in it.

But he played a supporting role in it as well.

The song was composed by R D Burman.

This title track was (Balasubrahmany)amazing

Yeh To Kamaal Ho Gaya had two As in its title.

And the film, which released in 1982, starred Mr Haasan, whose first name – Kamal – had one A.

The only song from the film was titled Dekho Dekho.

It happened to be its title track (because the five words that followed that phrase were Yeh To Kamaal Ho Gaya).

The man who lent the song his voice was none other than S P Balasubrahmanyam.

He was, in fact, the voice of the soundtrack.

Anand Bakshi wrote the song, which was composed by R D Burman.

Asha completed ‘the Baba duology’

Ja Jaldi Bhaag Ja and the subject of this post had one thing in common – they comprised what could be called ‘The Baba Duology of 1982’.

This song was titled Udi Baba.

The lady who (Bhos)lent her voice to it was the one and only Asha.

Thanks to the man who penned it, it could also be called ‘Anand Bakshi’s Baba Duology of 1982’.

Kalyanji Virji Shah and Anandji Virji Shah composed the track.

By the way, this song’s title went on to inspire the tagline of a popular television commercial decades after its release.

The father-son duo (Kisho)rendered (Am)it

Baba is not just a term of endearment, but it is also the Bengali word for ‘father’.

And the latter happened to be the word Amit Kumar used to address his father, the legendary Kishore Kumar.

This inimitable baap-beta jodi collaborated on a song titled Ja Jaldi Bhaag Ja.

The next three words of its opening line went, “Nahin baba na”.

It was the fourth song from Desh Premee in my collection.

The film released in 1982.

The song was penned by Anand Bakshi.

It was composed by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma.
