Song: Kya Yehi Pyar Hai
Film: Rocky (1981)
Actors: Sunjay Dutt, Tina Munim
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar
Music: R D Burman
Lata’s departure is one of the greatest losses for humanity! Millions of her fans must be sad all over the globe! The universe seems to be shrouded with gloom. Millions of musical notes rendered by her are swirling around in space restlessly. Countless musical instruments in the ethereal world must be crying in an agitated manner. Innumerable strings must be vibrating in skies to replicate and recall her performances. May God bless her soul. May Almighty calm down everything and restore peace in the universe that prevailed due to her presence and was connected with her existence.
Lata truly deserves highest appreciation. Her soul was a pure one, and her voice had a purity that was a reflection of her beautiful personality. May she live in eternal bliss. Ameen
The Hindi Film Rocky was produced in 1981. We have made a humble attempt to render a duet cover from this film as a tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, "Kya Yahi Pyar Hai". We wish to express our feelings of deep appreciation for her untiring work and contribution. The romantic action film Rocky from Bollywood was directed by Sunil Dutt. This film marks the debut of Sunil Dutt's son Sanjay Dutt and also stars Reena Roy, Tina Munim, Amjad Khan, Raakhee, Ranjeet, Shakti Kapoor and Aruna Irani in pivotal roles. Sunil Dutt also appears in a cameo. Aruna Irani received a Filmfare Nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the film.
