Kabhi Kabhie is the title of the ninth feature film directed by Yash Chopra and it was released Deewar. The film was inspired by Sahir Ludhianvi's famous poem “Kabhie Kabhie”, a poignant piece about loss and sacrifice, believed to be his ode to poetess Amrita Pritam, with whom Sahir shared an unfulfilled love. Sahir adapted the romantic version of his poem into the movie's iconic title track, which became one of Hindi cinema's most memorable songs.
