Other than preserving a certain perception of preferring finer things, I realised only years later that it takes time to want to break free of something… to treat the heaviest, most subliminal of arts with the lightest of touches.įor a generation of people who grew up during the ’90s, our interpretation of love and relationships either came from within the family, and were tuned to a serious tenor of things like responsibility and respect.

I remember watching Govinda’s films on TV (I have watched them all) and wondering even in those early years what it was about these songs that made me want to hate them – that I knew deep down that I was meant to hate them – but still kept me hooked. They devised a collection that shifts the focus of the exercise of listening from the heart, to the mind and the body. Perhaps the strangest, at times inexplicably kitschy music that Anand-Milind ever made was composed for the ridiculously entertaining Govinda. They took the spoken-word poetry character of the song, and ran with it – often down the path to ludicrousness. “Papa Kehte Hain” set the tone for other Anand-Milind songs. Music suddenly became conversational, modest, as if trying to get off the stage for a change and having a tete-a-tete with the listeners.Įven though QSQT tread the familiar path of star-crossed lovers, it’s hard to keep track of the many firsts associated with the film Words like “engineer” and “doctor”, in a song? Why not. Ordinary in its lyrics yet assertive, simple but universal, this was a strange mix. “Papa Kehte Hain” might have been middle-class teenage rebellion to most, but it was also a departure from the debt music seemed to owe poetry.

Though QSQT was Anand-Milind’s first full soundtrack together they had shown us a sign of things to come through songs like “440 Volt ki Ladki”( Ab Aayega Maza) in 1984. Do love and grief the reckless way, the poetics of which asked for abandonment, a toss of the order of the wistful cage of the aesthete. To enjoy music, but for a few exceptions, meant reading as much as listening to it.īut a young and restless India needed anthems for disengaging the system.

Love and grief were the pillars around which that music was largely built before the ’80s. Granted the laboriousness of the exercise was its own gift, but it didn’t always amount to the joy that only a certain dissonance can offer. To enjoy music, but for a few exceptions, meant reading as much as listening to it. The music of the ’80s wasn’t Bollywood’s best, not by any stretch of imagination, but it still tried recreating the poetic and the tragic while remaining true to its idea of depth attained through language. Numbers like “Jawani-Jan-E-Man” ( Namak Halal) and “Om Shanti Om”( Karz) contrast well alongside the gravitas of “In Ankhon ki Masti”( Umrao Jaan) and that one voice that put all anxiety to rest: Jagjit Singh’s “Hothon se Choo Lo Tum” ( Prem Geet). Sample some songs from the ’80s that came before Papa Kehte Hain and you get the feeling that it was either the decade of grief or romantic reconciliation of some sort. Most crucially, it might have been the film to revive a faltering Bollywood.īut it was the music, and mostly that one song that was a breakaway, that really swung things around for everyone. It was a convincing portrayal of a Shakespearean tragedy and the everyday cruelty the ideal Bollywood family could inflict. It marked the arrival of a beauty queen who would go on to distinguish herself in a variety of roles, very far removed from the quivering-lipped upper-class babe in the woods she played in her debut. It gave us the chocolate hero in the midst of all the angry young men we were still recovering from. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, the film from my childhood that launched the virginal teen romance with brutal consequences, completed 30 years yesterday.Įven though QSQT tread the familiar path of star-crossed lovers, it’s hard to keep track of the many firsts associated with the film. Coming to terms with your own ageing is one of them – and there is not a more stark, shocking reminder than to see a film from your childhood complete a landmark anniversary. There are few things as difficult as watching your parents grow old and vulnerable. Indians had a new anthem as Anand-Milind’s “Papa Kehte Hain” changed Indian-pop music for good.
