(Ud)It (Al)kan never be forgotten

Maybe Akele Hain Toh Kya Gham Hai – the song from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), which was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri and sung by Udit (Naray)and Alka Yagnik – should’ve been rechristened Lamba hai toh kya gham hai (at five minutes and 59 seconds, it was the longest track in the film).

With this song (inspired by The Shadows’ instrumental piece Return to the Alamo), Anand-Milind emerged to carry forward the legacy of their father Chitragupta, a low-profile composer in the Golden Era.

The soundtrack fetched them the Filmfare (Shrivast)avard for Best Music Director in 1989.
