I have been listening to this song for over three decades and all these days I was under the impression that it must be a song sung in a mela by two females. Yesterday I watched the picturisation of this song for the first time. Wow ! What picturisation !

Music director Ravi deserved much more credit than he actually received as a music director. I have mentioned it in the past that a large number of iconic songs from Bollywood movies are his creations. Just name the subject, and he has an iconic song or two on the subject.
