The song ‘Tera Yaar Hoon Main’ is comparable to the classic ‘Diye Jalte Hain Phool Khilte Hain’ from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s *Namak Haram*. This film, depicting a friendship across social classes, starred actors who reportedly did not get along off-screen. However, this highlights the essence of acting. When Rajesh Khanna gives Amitabh Bachchan those bromantic looks and sings Anand Bakshi’s lyrics ‘Jab jiss waqt kissika yaar juda hota hai kuch na pucho yaaron dil ka haal bura hota hai,’ the world seems more pleasant. R.D. Burman’s composition was straight from the heart, reportedly inspired by his close friendship with Rajesh Khanna.
Another personal favorite friendship song is ‘Ram Kare Allah Kare Teri Meri Dosti Bani Rahe’ in *Aap Ke Deewane*. Real-life best friends Rishi Kapoor and Rakesh Roshan had no trouble portraying their mutual affection to Rajesh Roshan’s composition. This film also featured two other lovely ‘dosti’ songs: ‘Tumko Khush Dekh Kar,’ bringing together Mohd. Rafi and Kishore Kumar, and ‘Apni Khushiyan Tujhko De Doon,’ with Kishore Kumar’s son Amit replacing him after his death.
