For Udhas, who launched his career with a ghazal album ‘Aahat’ (1980) and followed it up with three other successful albums — ‘Mukarar’, ‘Tarrannum’ and ‘Mehfil’, this song from the film ‘Naam’ (1986) helped further his rise to fame. It was a break that helped make his presence felt in Bollywood.
Way back in the early 1970s, Udhas made his film debut in Kamna but the film was shelved. This was a huge disappointment and it took years of struggle to become a ‘singer’.
