Yeh Pyar Tha Ya Kuchh Aur Tha - Prem Rog by Sudha Malhotra, Anwar Hussain

The Prem Rog album has several strong tracks, but Yeh Pyar Tha Ya Kuchh Aur Tha - Prem Rog is the one most listeners come back to first. Laxmikant, Pyarelal has a history of strong work, and the music on Yeh Pyar Tha Ya Kuchh Aur Tha - Prem Rog is among the most memorable of it.

Sudha Malhotra, Anwar Hussain brings a warmth to Yeh Pyar Tha Ya Kuchh Aur Tha - Prem Rog that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. Hearing Yeh Pyar Tha Ya Kuchh Aur Tha - Prem Rog without thinking of Rishi Kapoor, Padmini Kolhapure, Shammi Kapoor, Nanda, Tanuja, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Om Prakash, Bindu, Vijayendra, Kiran Vairale, Raza Murad is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Prem Rog.

1982 marked the release of Prem Rog, and Yeh Pyar Tha Ya Kuchh Aur Tha - Prem Rog was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. The mood of the track shifts subtly as it progresses, giving even a single listen a sense of journey.

At 7:11, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
