Hum To Hain Deewane - Khel Muqaddar Ka by Mahendra Kapoor, Suresh Wadkar, Sardul Kwatra

Mahendra Kapoor, Suresh Wadkar, Sardul Kwatra has delivered memorable performances before, but Hum To Hain Deewane - Khel Muqaddar Ka sits comfortably among the very best. The production by Sardul Kwatra is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The voice of Mahendra Kapoor, Suresh Wadkar, Sardul Kwatra carries Hum To Hain Deewane - Khel Muqaddar Ka effortlessly, which is the highest compliment a song can give its singer. Hearing Hum To Hain Deewane - Khel Muqaddar Ka without thinking of Dara Singh, Aruna Irani, Veerendra, Rajni Sharma, Bharat Bhushaparna Choudhury, Asha Parekh, Shammi, Asha Sharma, Bhag Singh, Ved Goswami, Gurmit Singh, Mehar Mittal, Ram Mohan is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Khel Muqaddar Ka.

1981 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Hum To Hain Deewane - Khel Muqaddar Ka was among the reasons why. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

Running to 3:54, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. Songs like Hum To Hain Deewane - Khel Muqaddar Ka are the reason people fall in love with Hindi music and never quite fall out of it.
