Check out the legendary singer’s most memorable Hindi solo songs.
Tere Mere Beech Mein (Sad) – Ek Duje Ke Liye 1981
This unforgettable gem by K. Balachander that launched the legendary Kamal Haasan (in Bollywood) and marked the debut of Rati Agnihotri and Madhavi had the master duo of Laxmikant–Pyarelal (LP) in its prime element. The Hindi remake of the director's own Telugu film ‘Maro Charitra’ (1978), was a musical "blockbuster" with its music still ruling the hearts of millions.
Anand Bakshi’s heartfelt lyrics and Laxmikant–Pyarelal’s magic created wonders.
Sach Mere Yaar Hai – Saagar (1985)
This life lesson soulfully rendered by SP Balasubrahmanyam and meaningfully written by Javed Akhtar with R.D. Burman’s beautiful melody is perfect for a quite evening.
Mere Rang Mein Rangne Waali - Maine Pyar Kiya (1989)
The beginning of the awesome combo of S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and Salman Khan with this trendsetting musical romance. Raamlaxman’s melodic fusion and fine lyrics by Asad Bhopali and Dev Kohli makes this a favourite of many even today.
Hum Na Samjhe The – ‘Gardish’ (1993)
Not on everyone’s list but personal favourite of this author. The R.D. Burman composed number with soul stirring lyrics by Javed Akhtar added tremendous value to this Priyadarshan directed action drama starring Jackie Shroff ( one of his finest movies)
Bahut Pyar Karte Hain (Male) – Saajan ( 1994)
The deadly S.P. Balasubrahmanyam Salman Khan combo with the melody of the sensation of those times Nadeem-Shravan and soulful lyrics by Sameer makes your date.
Yes Bahut pyaar karte thein, hai or raheinge aapko Bala sir…
RIP SP Balasubrahmanyam
