Tera Mera Mera Tera Mil Gaya Dil Dil Say – Nagin



They keep on making movies on this subject. This film was released in 1976 & it was a super hit. It was directed & produced by RajkumarKohli. He even made a remake in 2oo6 with his son named as Jaani Dushman: Eik Anokhi Kahani but it was a big time flop & not just that, it was criticized too harshly & is regarded as the worst film ever made on female snakes. I had the misfortune to watch it aur us mein kuch anokha nahin tha.

Nagin had a huge cast & Sunil Dutt is the only guy who survives. Reena Roy was the nagin & by far this one was a much fun fantasy thriller revolving around snakes.

This song has been sung by Kishore Kumar & Suman Kalyanpur.

I think Vinod Mehra looks very cool in this red jacket. I don't think he has ever looked that cool. He was quite a good-looking guy, but we saw him mostly as an ill person or a very poor guy. Aruna Irani is also looking gorgeous. And that brings me to the hottest thing - that fat lady. Who the hell is she?

Till yesterday I had no idea but I couldn't help digging. Her name is Yogeeta Bali. You may not know but she was quite an active actor for 15 years (starting off from early 70s till 1985). She was the third wife of Kishore Kumar. They were married only for two years & then she fell in love with Mithun on the set of Khwab. Naturally she divorced Kishore Kumar & married Mithun. Right now they have four kids. And Kishore Kumar refused to sing for Mithin & that's how the singing career of Bappi Lyari started. Btw, Yogeeta Bali was a computer engineer before she became an actress. Later on she also did her M.Sc. This is the story of Yogeeta, Mithun & Kishore Kumar.

I had no intention of saying anything about the lyrics but now they seem to talk about the story of Yogeeta & the funniest thing is her ex-husband was singing it for both Mithun & Yogeeta :P
'Tera mera mera tera tera mera
Mil gaya dil dil say bol de mehfil say,
Teri meri meri teri teri meri
aankh mili mushkil say bol de mehfil say.'

Every line now has a different meaning. For instance, 'teray dil kay dard ko main nay apna samaj liye hai, arey abhi pyar mein pehla kadam hai itni jaldi kya hai' 'saath mile muskhi say,' 'milne waalon mil lo aisi mulaakat na hogi, arey baat mein aisi baat bana lo phir yeh baat na hogi,' & last but not least, 'dur nahin manzil say.'

I really enjoyed this song in my childhood & I had no idea that I would be able to make one bitchy, meanie blog post on it. Actually nothing was personal but when you get to know the truth, you can't help adding spice to it just for the heck of fun. Yeh tou hona hee tha Kishore Kumar kay saath. I can't believe that he married the most beautiful woman Madhubala once & then he fell in love with Yogeeta. I'm sure he must have fallen for her figure. I just hope God forgives me for writing such a mean post & it's Friday, so I'm quite optimistic.
