During the golden era of Hindi film music, movies, irrespective of their grading (A, B, C or whatever) tended to have A grade music. Not just the big name music directors, even lesser music directors were just as good as any.

It was on 31st July 1980 that Rafi left us for heavenly abode and the music world was suddenly a much poorer place. The vacuum that was created as a result of his demise could not be filled and that vacuum exists even today.

Not only is the music beautiful (I’m still singing the refrain over and over), but the picturization of it is sublime. I had to rewind and watch the song two or three times before I could move on to the rest of the film.
