These songs crooned by Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik are even more precious in this era of remixes in Bollywood which grows scarier with each new all-time-hit song is remade. The album may not have received the validation at the awards but we raise our hats to them today for these gems. Songs like Aisa Zakhm Diya Hai, Raja Ko Rani Se Pyaar Ho Gaya, Dil Kehta Hai, Dil Mera Churya Kyun and obviously the title track Akele Hum Akele Tum were all big hits when they were released in the ‘90s but we could never tire of hearing them even today.Īnu Malik earned a Filmfare nomination for the title track while Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik were also nominated. Just reading the title in fact, one can’t help but sing the title track in their head! The Bollywood star and his uncle Mansoor Khan (director) may have failed at delivering a hattrick with the success of Akele Hum Akele Tum after their previous outing like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar, but we’d never tire of listening to the songs composed by Anu Malik and penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
While the film may not rank anywhere in Aamir Khan’s gleaming box office trajectory today, the soulful music album that the movie boasted of makes this movie hard to forget.
Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala’s Akele Hum Akele Tum, the 1995 romantic drama completed 26 years since its release on November 30.
