Gulzar's political drama Aandhi—or Storm—lends itself to a dramatic soundtrack, and composer R. D. Burman delivers. The director himself was the film's lyricist, and his love of classical ragas shines through with his inspired use of the sarod and sitar. Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar are the voices most predominantly featured, but an ensemble cast, including Mohammed Rafi, Amit Kumar and Bhupinder, collaborate on "Salam Kijiye", a song that explores the political climate of both the film and the time—to impressive results.
