Problem 8 - Entrance Test

Gulzar is a prolific lyricist and filmmaker. Which of his directorial films, released in 1983, featured a highly acclaimed soundtrack by R.D. Burman and is particularly noted for the song 'Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi' sung by Anup Ghoshal (and later Lata Mangeshkar), a philosophical introspection on life?

Correct: D

'Masoom' (1983) is the film. Directed by Gulzar, it featured the iconic song 'Tujhse Naraz Nahin Zindagi,' composed by R.D. Burman and originally sung by Anup Ghoshal for the male version and Lata Mangeshkar for the female version. The song beautifully encapsulates the film's emotional depth and its reflective themes, becoming one of Gulzar and Burman's most memorable collaborations. 'Mausam' and 'Aandhi' were earlier films with different musical collaborations, and 'Angoor' was a comedy.
