The circle of time

As the Indian film industry music output for the last two decades has been mediocre, most Indians born before 1990 hark back to the nostalgic 1950s, 60s and 70s. That was the music we've grown up listening to and shaking a leg to. Remember "ye akashvani hai", "rangoli" and "bhoole bisre geet"? The impression quite a few of us have, on the Indian film-music industry is that old is gold, and barring a few exceptions, the recent musicians merely rehash/copy old tunes, or foreign ones they are "inspired" by. Well, to mitigate this confirmation bias, here's something that may have slipped your notice.

Beatles - I wanna hold your hand (1964)



Rafi - Dekho ab to, Janwar (1965)
