What happens

Kalaakaar (transl. Artist) is a 1983 Indian Hindi-language tragedy romantic musical film directed by P. Sambasiva Rao and produced by P. Anand Rao. The film stars Sridevi and Kunal Goswami. It was released in the same year as Himmatwala, Sridevi's breakthrough film in Bollywood, but unlike the former, Kalaakaar was a box office disappointment. It is a remake of the 1982 Tamil Film Payanangal Mudivathillai. Despite the film's failure, its soundtrack by Kalyanji–Anandji was successful, especially the first track "Neele Neele Ambar Par" sung by Kishore Kumar & Sadhana Sargam. According to music expert Rajesh Subramanian, the guitar piece in the song was played by veteran guitarist Sunil Kaushik. It is a remake of Tamil Song "Ilaya nila pozhigirathe" composed by Ilayaraja for Payanangal Mudivathillai. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
