Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (QSQT) was released in 1988, during the period often referred to as Bollywood's dark ages. It was a decade dominated by violence, action, and disco. Bollywood veteran Saurabh Shukla theorizes that this was due to the mafia's growing involvement in the industry. When the mafia entered, the films that got made were the ones they wanted to see. Confession: me too. I like disco and blood in my movies. But the films of the 80s often lacked emotional resonance. QSQT reminded Bollywood that it had a heart. It accomplished this by grabbing that heart and squeezing the ever-living shit out of it. I highly recommend it.

QSQT eschewed the synthetic sounds of disco in favor of more melodic, affecting composition. Papa Kehte Hain is my favorite song from the film. Typically with all but the most recent Bollywood films, song lyrics are not subtitled. It's super irritating since the songs often further the plot and provide information about the characters, but it's not like you can't follow along without subtitles. Bollywood is not exactly known for its subtlety. This scene happens very early in the movie. It's the first of only a handful of excellent songs.

Should you require more convincing, it also features a heretofore undiscovered artistic masterpiece.

Sweet christ, that is gorgeous. And I think it's on velvet. You know how I feel about velvet!
