ASAD - 64

Before embarking on a mini-series on Radeef here is an unconnected article. Many songs got dropped off the RJGK-36. This is one of them. I wanted to take a few good GHazals from newer films. We all know about the contribution of Jagjit Singh, Pankaj Udhas etc to Filmi GHazals. (BTW, no one complained about their absence in the quiz.) But somehow these newer songs never made it to the quiz. The reason following clue got deleted from the quiz was, it may not be so easy. Also I am not aware of the Pstats !

saahil = kinaara
naakhuda = maazi

tufaaN me hume chhod_ke, saahil pe aa gaye
naakhuda ka, hum_ne jinhe naam diyaa hai

I know the picturisation of this song. It's a party song and sung by Smita Patil. Other actors are Rajesh Khanna, Tina Munim and Rajesh Roshan. This sher is sung by Smita Patil. RajeshK also joins later and sings a sher or two. He is also recording the party on his Video camera. Rajesh Roshan and Tina Munim look like the target of the song. The movie name might be "Aakhir KyuN". I am not sure. I won't be surprised if the MD happens to be LP/RajeshRoshan/BappiLehri. Got the song ? :-) A decent sher, by today's standards. The tune is also OK and the song was quite popular. So guys, can you guess the song ? :-)

- Abhay.
ASAD _also_ stands for "A Sher A Day" !
