Mi raat takali, mi kaat takali
Mi mudakya sansaaraachi bai laaj takali

She says Mi raat taakli – I have let the night go, 
I have cast off that old skin which was of no use 
to me. I’m not ashamed to come out of the wedlock 
which was nothing but a sham. I feel rejuvenated now.

Hiravya paanaat, hiravya paanaat saawr saawr chaalti
Bhar jwaanitalee naar, ang modit chaalti

This young maiden in her prime sways along the path that is 
untrodden without any inhibitions.

Hya pankhawarati, mi nabh paangharati
Mi mukta morani bai chandanyaat nhaati

I carry the sky on my wings, I feel like the unfettered, 
liberated bird (peahen) who dances in the moonlight.

Angaat maajhiya bhinnlaay dholiya
Mi bhingarbhiwari tyachi go maalan jhaali
Mi baajindi manamaani bai fulaant nhaali

Every cell in my body throbs on him, though I’m a gypsy 
at heart I’ll tend to the garden of our life together. I’ll bathe 
in the flowers of his love with all wilfulness.

THE FILM AND THE SONG :

Produced by Usha Mangeshkar the film is represented 
in musical narrative style. The dusky beauty with brains 
Smita Patil plays the character of a strong woman, who 
takes the decisions for herself. She mesmerises the 
audience as Chindhi.She has got immense screen 
presence. One just can’t take eyes off her. 

Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar’s music is unconventional 
and hypnotic. It penetrates your heart and mind. We come 
to know the vastness of his music when we listen to songs 
such as this one. Not to forget Lata Mangeshkar’s voice 
adding to the magic he created. Uninhibited as love, 
wanton as love, liberated as love!!

Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar has put a soul into these 
body of words. He has used an ensemble of various lesser 
known instruments which keep the haunt quotient alive 
throughout the song. Sundari, clarinet, toto, santoor, 
ghungroo tarang, Spanish guitar, dhol, duff, bagalbachcha 
and Rajasthani shehnai.

The chorus backs up the song after each stanza rendered 
by Ravindra Sathe and Chandrakant Kale. On screen are 
seen Sriram Ranade and Chandrakant Kale himself. 

These actors along with actress Kamini are the narrators 
of the entire film and are featured in all the songs.The
movie was directed by Jabbar Patel with cinematography
by Binod Pradhan.

The songs from this film are popular in Maharashtra.The
film earned actress Smita Patil a Filmfare Award, and
Jabbar Patel a Filmfare award, a National Film Award for
Best Feature Film in Marathi and Maharashtra State Film
Awards for direction.
