Music In The Mountains: Chalo Bulawa Aaya Hai

So far we have had romance, love for Nature, pining for a lover, patriotism, folk dance and folk music, inspiration, student-teacher sequence, and light-hearted fun as the primary ingredients in the songs that have appeared under this theme. Introducing yet another emotion today: devotion and faith. People have been scaling mountains due to their immense faith in the Supreme. The journey often involves adventure, uncertainty and physical hardship, but the sense of fulfilment after the completion of such a trip is immensely rewarding.

Here is a song from "Avtaar" (1983). Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi starred in this social drama that focused on relationship issues between ageing parents and grown-up children. The story touched a chord in the viewers' hearts and was a commercial success.

Singers: Asha Bhosle, Mahendra Kapoor, Narendra Chanchal
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
Music: Laxmikant Pyarelal
