Randhir Kapoor's birthday special piece should start with a fun fact that many of today's generation isn't aware of. Raj Kapoor's eldest son made his acting debut with Kal Aaj Aur Kal in 1971 which was also his directorial debut. Perhaps he was one of the firsts to do the same. The film had his grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor, father Raj Kapoor and himself representing three generations. He starred opposite his wife Babita in this film. So Kal Aaj Aur Kal is pretty momentous for him and also the industry. Kareena, Saif Ali Khan and Taimur Join Karisma, Randhir Kapoor For a Perfect Family Portrait!

Gum hai kisi ke pyar mei - Rampur Ka Lakshman

Everything about this song is nice, soothing and pure. A confession song between two people who are aware of the romantic tension between them but never manage to say it. What a beautiful composition!

Jaane Ja Dhoondta Phir  Raha- Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

It's one of the most romantic songs we have ever heard. It's a song of lost and found and the love thereof... what a melody! To be honest, all the songs of this film are simply amazing including the title track.

Aati rahengi baharen - Kasme Vaade

Although it has Amitabh Bachchan and Rakhee in it, this will always be a Randhir Kapoor song as he played the most adorable younger brother here.

Bhanwre ki gunjan  - Kal Aaj Aur Kal

A deeply romantic track from the film is everybody's favourite. An ode for Mr Right or Miss Right you keep your hearts for. You can actually see how good Randhir and Babita looked together.

Haye re haye tera ghoongta - Dhongee

That's one song that may not be a favourite of many but is still loved by all. A drunk Randhir Kapoor dances with the very beautiful Neetu Singh.
