    Read what others have said..

    kamyogi, France
    MEHBOOBA MEHBOOBA by R D Burman is my favorite. RD brought quite a new style to the indian music. His voice also presented a novelty then. The song goes in a very natural and fluent way. A Chef-d'oeuvre!

    Salman Rizvi Canada
    Yeh Dosti is my favorite song

    Sippy Montreal, Quebec, Canada

    ELIZBETHH- LONDON UK
    Yeh Dosti; Mehbooba Mehbooba; Haa Jab Tak Hain Jaan. Very good player. Romantic, make you cry.

    Jose Thomas Toronto Canada
    Yeh dosti for sure .Those were my undergraduate days when friendship seemed eternal and that song epitomized all that friendship stood for..fun loyalty adventure et all...alas unlike sholay time pases on ... wonder where all those great friendships went...the song yet remains....

    sophia talwar from redditch
    yeh dosti hum nahi chodenge.....n the reason being is we are two friends we love this song alottt since our childhood and the meaning of this song still tied us we r friends today n forever thanks to writer of this song who wrote such a meaningful song for true frienship.

    peep, preston
    Mehbooba o mehbooba, helen's dancing is wicked!!! intercut with veeru & jai setting up explosives!!!

    nazia, worcester
    i love mehbooba cos i used to dance to it when i was a kid!!! it was like... "Helen eat your heart out, Naz is doing her stuff!" yeh dosti.. PHENOMENAL!

    narinder sahota - Telford
    The drama and characters in this film have rarely been repeated over the past 30 years.Every actor has their distinct role playing, and whilst I have not seen it myself for several years now, dialogues and songs from the film are still fresh in my mind

    Jav - Manchester
    Sholay one of the best films ever made. One of those films that you can still sit down with the family and watch together. Yeh Dosti always makes you remember your best mate. But I think the opening music soundtrack was really cool as well.

    sanjana, london
    sholay is the all time classic!..any track frm it rocks. but yeh dosti is known by everyone and sung by everone...its the best simple as! CONGRATS SHOLAY!! xxx

    Abdul (dukz) London
    yeh dosti is one of the best track around even these days it is still played in full blast. i love this tarck i even got the song memorised. too good hay.

    Narinder
    its never forgeting film ,ever produced ,once in a life time on the indian screen,where all the stars did marvellous acting, so its great to hear all songs but my favourite song is koi haseena when Dharminder does his cheeky bycycle riding with ringing cycle ghanti. its great to hear.

    Dipa - USA
    "Koi Haseena" - Because, I've been told that is been written about me! :D

    Balraj Ahira
    Koi Haseena is my favourte sholay song. The music is good the lyrics are amazing. The other one that i like is mebooba mebooba

    rav from bedford

    Umer Khan, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, UK
    Yeh Dosti is the greatest track ever. i remember singing this song with my mom when i was young. its the best song everrrrrrrrrr

    zeenat birmingham
    koi hasina jab rooth jaathi hein to The scenery and active movements of this this song is very convincing. It almost feels real.

    Nisha, Las Vegas
    Of course, Mehbooba o mehbooba is the best song in Sholay! Try finding another song that lasted that long at No. 1 on the Binaca Geet Mala on Radio Ceylon. 25 weeks or something? Uh-oh, I'm dating myself, aren't I? Anyway, my favorite memory of Mehbooba o mehbooba is when I heard RD Burman sing it in person at a concert in Chicago in 1977...red silk shirt, black pants and 'rumaal' tied around his forehead a la Jalal Agha.

    Shafiq, Birmingham
    Yeh Dosti - Sad Version excellent lyrics, sad songs say so much...

    Panna Mawji
    I love the track Jab Tak Hain Jaan very very much as the song is really nicely picturised and hemamalini looks really nice (things people do for love hai)

    SS from Birmingham
    Yeh Dosti is the ultimate family party track! It's ALWAYS played at the end of a party and EVERYONE gets really emotional saying they've got the best family/friends in the world!

    Rachna
    Yeh Dosti - I don't think there's been another song like it!

    Mukesh Verma, Nottingham
    Ye Dosti is full of fun and sentiments. But I used to dance with my wife on Mehbooba-2 song. R.D Burman music and voice was really great.

    Singh - Manchester
    "Yeh Dosti" will always be a favourite for all the guyz & dolls!!

    DERBY
    MEHBOOBA IS A WICKED SONG

    Neela, Leicester
    I love the song Jab Tak He Saas Me Nachoongi - it's just my absolutely favourite - I used to dance around to it in my bedroom when I was little. I really like Mehbooba too - but when I was young I found it really risky to watch with my parents.
