Kumar (Kisho)rendered Baba’s introductory number

Rocky wasn’t just one of Sylvester Stallone’s most memorable film series, but closer home, it marked Sanjay Dutt’s (fondly called Sanju Baba) debut as the leading man*.

There’s no two ways about the fact that the film’s title track, Doston Ko Salaam, was an apt introductory number.

Half-a-dozen minutes and as many seconds long, it was (Kisho)rendered by Mr Kumar.

Anand Bakshi penned the R D Burman composition.

[*Note: He made his maiden on-screen appearance as a qawwali singer in Reshma Aur Shera (1971), which, like Rocky, was also directed by his father, Sunil Dutt.]
