Mahendra and Shailendra (Kisho)rendered it

If the six songs from Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) on this blog were arranged in the alphabetical order, the film’s title track would be the first.

The track – whose opening line (“Anhoni ko honi kar de, honi ko anhoni”) summed up the career of Manmohan Desai, the film’s director – was five minutes and 52 seconds long.

It was (Kisho)rendered by Mahendra Kapoor [for Amar (Vinod Khanna)], Shailendra Singh [for Akbar Illahabadi (Rishi Kapoor)] and Mr Kumar [for Anthony Gonsalves (Amitabh Bachchan)].

Anand Bakshi penned the track, which Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma composed.
