Amar Prem, however, was not about Kishore Kumar & Rajesh Khanna alone.
The movie, essentially being a woman oriented movie, had ample scope for RD to create something memorable with Lata Mangeshkar - and he does not let the fans down a bit.
The situation of the song showcased here was nothing new for Lata Mangeshkar. Yet, the way the composition takes off with the sound of Santoor & Flute, after her initial alaap, trascends you into a different mood altogether.
Aided by lovely verse - including a very simple but brilliant wordplay on Shyam & Shaam - makes this song rise above so many other songs of similar mood that Lata Mangeshkar has sung.
Shyam Ko Bhoolaa,
Shaam Kaa Waadaa
Sang Diye Ke Jaage Radhaa
Nindiya na aaye
Raina Beeti Jaye
