On the occasion of Holi today, which is the fourth Holi for this blog, here is a Holi song from “Aakhir Kyon” (1985).

Many of the songs in this blog are “serious” songs- songs that are timeless classics, as I like to call them.
But one need not listen to timeless classics all the time. There are occasions when one would like to let his/her hair down and listen to light hearted songs that brings a smile to one’s face.
Here is just that kind of song.

Behind that jovial and boisterous exterior, Kishore Kumar hid a soft and sensitive interior. After “Chalti Ka naam Gaadi”, whichever movie he made were made on serious and sensitive subjects and were made as labour of love by him.
