Only one version WaS included

There were a couple of versions of the subject of this post in the film.

But my collection contained just one.

I am referring to the happy version of Humko Toh Yaari Se Matlab Hai, from Andar Baahar, which released in 1984*.

The song was a male duet – it was sung by Shailendra Singh and Suresh Wadkar.

By the way, this was the second song from the film in my collection.

This song – which was also an R D Burman composition – was penned by Gulshan Bawra.

(*Note: The sad version was a Shailendra Singh solo.)

Asha and Kishore sang it

While the making of Jaane Jaan kicked off in 1976, the film saw the light of day in 1983.

There was just one song from the film in my collection.

It was titled Tere Bina Main Kuchh Bhi Nahin.

No prizes for guessing that it was (Kisho)rendered by Asha Bhosle and Mr Kumar.

Gulshan Bawra penned the R D Burman composition.

By the way, the film starred Randhir Kapoor and his sister-in-law, Neetu Kapoor (nee Singh) in the lead roles.

Randhir’s daughter, Kareena Kapoor Khan, starred in an unrelated 2023 film of the same name.

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.

Lata rendered this (Ku)marvellous number

In 1959, Anandji Virji Shah officially joined his older brother, Kalyanji Virji Shah, to form the composer jodi Kalyanji-Anandji. Hitherto, Kalyanji had made a mark as a musician and a solo music director.

They made a fine debut as a debut in Satta Bazaar (1959).

The only song from the film in my collection was Tumhe Yaad Hoga Kabhi Hum Mile The.

Lata Mangeshkar and Hemant Kumar were the two people who lent their voices to the song.

Gulshan Bawra penned a third of the songs on the soundtrack of the film, including this one.

Arivu joined Neeti and Vishal

As long as I can remember, I have preferred listening to the radio to watching television. And one of the former taglines of a popular Ind...
