It was indeed (R)afitting tribute

Meri Dosti Mera Pyar – the title song of Dosti – was the perfect tribute to Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar on his 21st death anniversary*.

If it weren’t for his dosti with the man whose name contained the word Pyar, Hindi film music buffs wouldn’t have had the opportunity to cherish gems such as this track, which was four minutes and 23 seconds long.

Majrooh Sultanpuri penned the song, which Mohammed Rafi rendered.

(*Note: Born on November 3, 1937, the older half of the composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal passed away at the age of 60 on May 25, 1998.)
