And just like that, for better or for worse I was back under Bollywood's spell and although I know there will never be another Kishore - I do credit this movie for keeping my love for Hindi film music alive. There is no way this was Kishore Kumar's voice 2. Skeptical about any ruse that may have been about, I put the tape in my stereo and upon hearing the songs two things came to my mind: 1. My mom walked into my room one day in the summer of 1990 and handed me a tape of 'Aashiqui' and told me the soundtrack contained some songs that Kishoreda had recorded before he passed away. Sure, I still had my collection of Bollywood dating from 1944-1987 but simply had no interest in the genre in a world without Kishore Kumar. I graduated from college having missed the debut movies of the 3 Khans and not really paying much attention to what was coming out of Bollywood.
