I am surprised to see that as many as two memorable Holi songs are from 1980s. But when I look at the credentials of the lyricists and the music directors of these songs, I realise that they were very much throwbacks of the past, and so one should not necessarily be surprised that they came with such evergreen songs on the wrong side of the golden era of Bollywood music.

“Silsila” was based on the real life story of Amitabh Bachchan , Jaya Bhaduri and Rekha. To this day, wonder how all three of them agreed to wash their dirty linens in public in this movie.

“Kudrat” (1981) had some fine songs. This movie which had Hema Malini and Rajesh Khanna in lead roles was in fact a musical blockbuster.

I became aware of the movie “Do Dishaayen” (1982) while posting Yesuda’s Vishesh Jaimala programme’s transcript in another of my blogs. This movie is such an obscure movie that its songs were not available on internet in any form.

It is a very long song, which is one second short of 10 minutes long. And the song is so nice to listen to that these 9:55 minutes pass in a trice. Initially Asha Bhonsle sings the song and towards the second half of the song, Kishore Kumar makes a cameo appearance.
