Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981) is director K. Balachanders Hindi remake of his own super hit
Telugu film "Maro Charithra". This film is a watershed of sorts because it
marked the debut into Hindi films of 4 stars of the South Indian film industry,
K. Balachander, Kamal Hassan, Rati Agnihotri and S.P. Balasubramaniam. The film
itself was a huge success, becoming the biggest grosser of 1981. But Rati
Agnihotri and S.P. Balasubramaniam were the only two benefeciaries, both
becoming top stars in their field, SP remaining so even today. Apart from Kamal
Hassan and Rati Agnihotris performances and a memorable cameo by Madhavi. The
music of the film, scored by Laxmikant-Pyarelal was very successful, remaining
till today, especially "Tere Mere Beech Mein", "Hum Bane Tum Bane" and the
cutely comical love duet, "Mere Jeevan Saathi".
