Trivia
'Jigarthanda' literally translates to 'cool heart' in Hindi/Urdu and is also a iconic cold beverage originating in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Lyricist Pa. Vijay uses this cross-linguistic pun to seamlessly blend the North Indian title context of 'Tere Ishk Mein' with playful Tamil poetry composed by A. R. Rahman.
