"Kehna Hai" is arguably one of the most classic songs of one of the most classic movies of all times. Amazing music by R.D Burman, the song is rendered terrificly by Kishore Kumar. Kishore Kumar, who had no formal training in classical singing, displays amazing natural vocal abilities in this song. Legend has it that the song 'Ek Chatur Naar', from this movie, (a duet by Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey) was partly improvised by Kishore Kumar at the time of recording and Manna Day, determined to show Kishore Kumar how he would sing the duet better (since Kishore had not been trained classically), got into the mood of the song and immortalized 'Ek Chatur Naar'.
I really want to thank Laksmi akka for requesting me to sing this wonderful composition. It was a tough job finding the soundtrack for this music but my persistence paid off and in the process I also happened to find a stash of other hits of Kishore Kumar. More Kishore Kumar songs in future.....
Thanks again for all the encouragement !!
Here goes my modest rendition of this classic !

A nice ,worthwhile and heartwarming try at this decently good song...mostly refreshing but tartly offbeat on few occasions...i wud say a solid B- ...
