Phoolon Ka Taron Ka - Hare Rama Hare Krishna by Kishore Kumar

Kishore Kumar has delivered memorable performances before, but Phoolon Ka Taron Ka - Hare Rama Hare Krishna sits comfortably among the very best. What makes Phoolon Ka Taron Ka - Hare Rama Hare Krishna musically distinctive is the composition by R. D. Burman, which balances simplicity with depth.

The performance by Kishore Kumar is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The story told by a talented ensemble cast in Hare Rama Hare Krishna finds its musical expression here — Phoolon Ka Taron Ka - Hare Rama Hare Krishna is where the film's heart beats loudest.

By the end of 1971, Phoolon Ka Taron Ka - Hare Rama Hare Krishna had moved well beyond its original audience and into everyday playlists. It fits the playlist for almost any occasion, which is rare — most songs have a narrow emotional window. This one does not.
