The award was for a Kamal Hasan & Reena Roy release – Sanam Teri Kasam, a mega hit of the year and his second movie after the block-buster Ek Dooje Ke Liye.
As I said, however, his quality of music was superlative like any other year; with movies like Namkeen, Shakti, Sanam Teri Kasam & Yeh Wada Raha being the chartbusters. My favourite, though, from this year, other than Namkeen, is a song from a movie, which took inordinate years to complete and sank within no days. It featured one of Lata’s loveliest numbers, which finally got its dues years later when HMV released it as part of a compilation.
This was from a movie – Adhura Aadmi – Amjad Khan’s first directorial effort, which took almost 5 years to complete, and had featuring Vidya Sinha besides Amjad Khan himself. The movie is so buried in the archives, that even the song that I am featuring year has no video available, except a clip from the trailer of the movie.
Once again Pancham used the fusion of Hindustani & western instruments. The song itself starts with very subtle notes of Guitar just lending back-up to the vocals of Lata. Once the composition goes in full flow, you can hear the lilting medley of Sitar, Santoor & Flute, and the verse from Yogesh, that unsung but one of the classiest poets of Hindi movies. All combine together, playing a perfect foil to her voice, as it soars and takes you into an ethereal world of sweet and self-less love and adoration.
Here it is:
Tere Jeevan Mein Ban ke Kiran
Teri Kasam Bikharungi Sada
Tere Kadamon Ke Kaante Saare
Palakon Se Chun Lungi Main Piya
Janam Ka Naata Jo Tumse
Baandha Bandha Rahega Sada
Tumse Hi Toh Shuru Hai
Khatam Bhi Tum Par Hogi
Jindagi Ki Kahaani Mere Devata
