“Kahe tose sajana, ye tohri sajaniya” is an incredibly romantic yet a touching number from “Maine Pyar Kiya” (1989). Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, it was one of the biggest hits of 1989 – and of the 1980s – earning “All-time Blockbuster” status at the Box Office. It starred Salman Khan (in his first lead role after his film debut an year earlier in a side role in Biwi Ho To Aisi) and Bhagyashree (making her debut).

Libaas (1988) the last film by Gulzar with Pancham as its music director didn’t get an official release. The film was shown at some international film festivals, but neither came into the theatres nor was it released on video or DVD. And that is rather a pity! Thus we are tricked out of our last treat of family drama by Gulzar. Well one can’t say family drama as we use it for Hindi cinema; it is more about an extra-marital affair.

Libaas (1988) didn’t get an official release though it was shown at some international film festivals. When asked about the film’s fate some ten years back, Gulzar played the ball into the producer’s court and feigned disinterest. Most probably it will never get released. All that we are left with, are the songs and some dialogues from the movie.

This is the only song of Ijaazat (1987) missing on this blog. For me the songs of Ijaazat have a special place in my heart. I still remember the audio cassette, which I bought. It was a rainy August afternoon. I knew exactly what I wanted to buy from my first earnings through giving tuitions. I came back from the college and I think I must have listened to that cassette on that day nearly hundred times. But that is just half the reason for its special status. In the 80s the music in Hindi films was IMHO losing quality. The arrival of Ijaazat came as a whiff of fresh air. More than that, it reinstated my faith in Pancham once again.

Preetam aan milo

The film Angoor (1982) has only three songs and thus this is the last song to appear from this film. This song has not only similar opening lines like C. H. Atma’s preetam aan milo (also sung by Geeta Dutt in Mr. & Mrs. 55 , but also shares its tune. Dismissing this version as a parody, however, would be underrating it.
