Music In The Mountains: Hum Jab Honge Saath Saal Ke

A fun, light-hearted duet from "Kal Aaj Aur Kal" (1971) today. As the name suggests, it is a film about three generations and the difficulties arising out of ideological conflicts between them. Real life grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor, father Raj Kapoor and grandson Randhir Kapoor played their own roles on the screen. The leading lady Babita was already an established actress then, while this was Randhir Kapoor's debut film as an actor and director. The two got married soon after it got released.

It is an average film which was moderately successful, but once in a while it is nice to visit such films and such songs for old times' sake, isn't it? Moreover, it is Kishore Kumar's birth anniversary today so listening to this duet that he sang in his inimitable style with Asha Bhosle is all the more special!

Singers: Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar
Lyrics: Shaily Shailendra
Music: Shankar Jaikishan
