23 Years On, We Still Can’t Get Over The Beauty Of ‘Aa Ab Laut Chalein’s Background Score

Aaliyah Jain

There’s no doubt that the background score is one of the best things about a movie. Apart from setting the right tone for the plotline, it also helps the audience to connect with the characters. Being an old-school romantic at heart, I have always been a fan of old soul-soothing songs with brilliant lyrics and music.

I have been saying this for ages and will always keep on saying that the 90s was a brilliant era. From swoon-worthy actors and iconic movies to great music, there are certain albums that become wedged in our hearts and soul. And, one such movie album is of Aa Ab Laut Chalen.

Apart from the movie’s great plotline and stunning backdrops, it was the music album of the movie that made it a timeless classic. There’s no doubt that the combination of different singers and lyricists made this music album one of the finest, and it remains fresh in our memories to date.

From good music that brings a smile to your face and, at the same time, brings a lone tear to your eyes, this album has everything you need for a great piece of music. Take a look.
