Tere Naam Ki Diwani - Hum Se Hai Zamana by Raamlaxman, Asha Bhosle

There is an honesty to Tere Naam Ki Diwani - Hum Se Hai Zamana that separates it from most Hindi songs released around the same time. Raamlaxman has a history of strong work, and the music on Tere Naam Ki Diwani - Hum Se Hai Zamana is among the most memorable of it.

There are singers who perform songs and singers who live inside them. On Tere Naam Ki Diwani - Hum Se Hai Zamana, Raamlaxman, Asha Bhosle clearly belongs in the second group. The story told by Zeenat Aman in Hum Se Hai Zamana finds its musical expression here — Tere Naam Ki Diwani - Hum Se Hai Zamana is where the film's heart beats loudest.
