Take a Sad Song, and Make it Better

18 Zindagi Ke Safar Mein Guzar Jaate Hain – Aap Ki Kasam, 1974

Music director R.D. Burman excels on this song, written by Anand Bakshi and sung by Kishore Kumar. Filmed on Rajesh Khanna, the song traces the character’s repentance over past mistakes.

Narendra Kusnur
Narendra Kusnur is one of India’s best known music journalists. Born with a musical spoon, so to speak, Naren, who dubs himself Kaansen, is a late bloomer in music criticism. He was (is!) an aficionado first, and then strayed into writing on music. But in the last two decades, he has made up for most of what he didn’t do earlier.
