Tere mere beech mein

Ooo...
Tere mere beech mein
Tere mere beech mein
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana
Maine nahin jaana, tune nahin jaana
Maine nahin jaana, tune nahin jaana
Tere mere beech mein
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana

Ek dor kheenche duuja dauda chala aaye
Ek dor kheenche duuja dauda chala aaye
Kachche dhaage mein bandha chala aaye
Aise jaise koi
Ho... Aise jaise koi deewana
Aise jaise koi deewana
Maine nahin jaana, tune nahin jaana
Tere mere beech mein
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana

Oho, appidiya?
Aa ha ha ha jaise sab samajh gaya

Pehanoongi main tere haathon se kangna
Pehanoongi main tere haathon se kangna
Jaayegi meri doli tere hi angna
Chaahe kuchh kar le
Ho... Chaahe kuchh kar le zamana
Chaahe kuchh kar le zamana
Maine nahin jaana, tune nahin jaana
Tere mere beech mein
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana

Hey... Nee romba azhaga irukke
Rumba? Yeh rumba rumba kya hai?

Itni zubanein bolein log humjoli
Itni zubanein bolein log humjoli
Duniya mein pyaar ki ek hai boli
Bole jo shama
Ho... Bole jo shama parwana
Bole jo shama parwana
Maine nahin jaana, tune nahin jaana

Parava illiye, nee nalla paadarey
Kya?

Tere mere beech mein
Tere mere beech mein
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana
Kaisa hai yeh bandhan anjana

Movie: Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981)
Director: K. Balachander
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, SP Balasubrahmanyam
Lyricist: Anand Bakshi
Music Composer: Laxmikant Pyarelal

This song is dedicated to Rati Agnihotri, whose birthday was on December 10. Rati is a Punjabi born in Uttar Pradesh, who found great success in South Indian cinema.

Her debut in Bollywood was with Ek Duuje Ke Liye, the remake of the hit Telugu film Maro Charitra (1979), which went on to become almost a cult classic. I very nearly did not choose a song from the film because its songs are definitely not ‘un-jaane’, and I feel they are corny or gimmicky!

However, when I searched for better songs picturised on Rati, I couldn’t find any to my liking.

So, I am wishing her a happy, healthy, long life, with one of the most popular songs she has acted in. ~ S
