families, there was something
so charmingly different about LV Prasad”s K Balachander-directed Ek Duje Ki Liye,
that it became one of the biggest Hindi hits of all time.It didn”t have too many
chances of success - a South Indian director who had not made a hit Hindi film,
a South Indian hero Kamal Haasan, who was entering a market not welcoming to
heroes from the South, an unknown heroine Rati Agnihotri who was a Punjabi girl
working in Tamil films.
Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s music and the freshness of the directorial approach. Songs
likeHum bane tum bane, Tere mere beech mein, Solah baras ki bali umar, and Mere
jeevan saathi (the last made up of film titles, since the hero does not know
Hindi).
