Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto - Mr. Natwarlal by Amitabh Bachchan, Master Ravi, Children, Rajesh Roshan

The Mr. Natwarlal album has several strong tracks, but Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto - Mr. Natwarlal is the one most listeners come back to first. The production by Rajesh Roshan is understated in the best way — supportive without overshadowing the vocal.

The vocal on Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto - Mr. Natwarlal is among the better performances Amitabh Bachchan, Master Ravi, Children, Rajesh Roshan has committed to record. Hearing Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto - Mr. Natwarlal without thinking of Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Mr. Natwarlal.

1979 was a strong year for Hindi music, and Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto - Mr. Natwarlal was among the reasons why. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

At 5:23, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, simply, one of the better songs to come from Hindi in recent memory — and the numbers agree.
