The thespian wielded the MiKe

Elderly leads are a rarity in the Hindi film industry, and songs picturised on them are rarer – barring Balraj Sahni serenading Achala Sachdev in Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen [in Waqt (1965)] and the Amitabh Bachchan numbers in Baghban (2003), I don’t recall many.

Thespian Dilip Kumar was credited as a crooner in Karma (1986). Remember Aye Sanam Tere Liye?

Incidentally, my blog on the music of Hindi films released between 1969 and 1986 contained a post on the patriotic version of this Laxmikant-Pyarelal composition, which Anand Bakshi penned.

Kavita Krishnamurthy and Mohammed Aziz rendered both.
