A simple, looped, keyboard-based rhythm and amazingly youthful vocals by Asha Bhosle are the USPs of this classic song depicting teenage love from "Jawaani" (1984), starring Karan Shah and Neelam. Amit Kumar provides the male vocals. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

A song from "Jawaani" (1984), the debut film of its leads Karan Shah and Neelam. Here, Karan is joined by Jatin Malhotra and Huma Khan in this dance club picturization. I love the extended 2 minute prelude to this song (which was naturally trimmed down in the movie to about 30 seconds), and the variety of different interludes as well. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

Requested by rtaimoor. A game of musical chairs hosted by Johnny Walker is portrayed in this song from "Sanjog" (1972), also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Mala Sinha, and Aruna Irani. Sung by Kishore Kumar. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

Here's a gorgeous, sentimental song from "Sitara" (1980), where Zarina Wahab (whose role is that of an actress) explores the sadder side of the glamorous film world which has ended up costing her a relationship with Kundan (Mithun Chakraborty). Asha Bhosle provides a soul-stirring rendition of Gulzar's lyrics. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

A real mellow, jazzy tune from "Sitara" (1980), following Kundan (Mithun Chakraborty) and Dhaniya (Zarina Wahab) as they travel around the city putting film posters up at night. I like how the music and sound effects capture the essence of nighttime; not to mention the cute lyrics by Gulzar and the wild antics of the film's leads. Vocals by Bhupinder and Asha Bhosle. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

An exquisite duet from "Sitara" (1980), starring Mithun Chakraborty and Zarina Wahab. This is the only film which I can recall that had Bhupinder providing all the playback singing for Mithun; joining him in this song is Lata Mangeshkar. Superb lyrics by the inimitable Gulzar as well. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

Here's my personal favorite from "Rahi Badal Gaye" (1985) - RDB and Asha Bhosle get together and provide the playback for Rishi Kapoor and Padmini Kolhapure for this extra-fast, fun, and frantic party sequence. It's rare that we see a party song from that era where the extras actually participate rather than stand around like zombies! Plus, how often do you see bagpipes being used in filmi music? Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

In this song which comes just a few minutes into "Rahi Badal Gaye" (1985), Amar (Rishi Kapoor) is introduced as a tour guide in Kashmir who steals away a group of female tourists from his buddy, fellow tour guide Aziz (Prem Mohan). Sung wonderfully by Kishore Kumar, with some additional chorus vocals. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

The second, more somber version of "Meri Dua Hai" from "Rahi Badal Gaye" (1985), starring Rishi Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, and Padmini Kolhapure. Sung by Kishore Kumar. Like the Shailendra-Kavita duet version, this one is also picturized in a party setting, but ends on a surprising note. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

Here is the first, happier duet version of this song from "Rahi Badal Gaye" (1985), starring Rishi Kapoor, Shabana Azmi, and Padmini Kolhapure. I like the way the vocals transition from Shailendra to Kavita throughout the song; it's as if she swoops right in to take control, and it's picturized accordingly. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.

Requested by panjaseth. Geeta (Dimple Kapadia) teases the title character (Sunny Deol) about his lack of dreams in this cute song from "Arjun" (1985), sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman.
