‘Papa Kehte Hain’ is a beloved Hindi song from the 1988 Bollywood romantic-musical film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. This film took Hindi cinema by storm and is considered a milestone for its genre. This film was the directorial debut of Mansoor Khan and the acting debut of Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla. Even though the film featured fresh faces, it managed to run for 50 weeks and became a Golden Jubilee hit. The film took home the Best Popular Film Offering Wholesome Entertainment title at the 36th National Film Awards. Truly amazing, isn't that right?
The most popular track from this cherished album is ‘Papa Kehte Hain.’ Veteran Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the song at the age of 70. This track was performed by Udit Narayan and composed by Anand-Milind in partnership. The music to the movie was enormously popular and went on to become one of the 1980s' best-selling Hindi soundtrack albums. The album propelled Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik to fame and served as a breakthrough for the careers of Juhi, Aamir, Anand-Milind, and T-Series.
After its premiere, Qayamat se Qayamat Tak—a contemporary retelling of beloved classics like Romeo and Juliet and Heer and Ranjha—won many hearts and set a standard for Hindi filmmaking. Similar was the fame received by the song ‘Papa Kehte Hain.’ Over the years, it has been re-used and recreated for several movies and TV Shows. For example, it appeared in the parody of ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain,’ and in movies like ‘Dil,’ ‘Andaaz Apna Apna,’ and ‘De De Pyaar De.’ It has also been recreated for recent films like ‘Srikanth,’ and ‘Student Of The Year.’ This widespread usage demonstrates the song's continuing appeal.
