Many years later, when Deedar was having a rerun at Mumbai theatres, actor Manoj Kumar asked director Raj Khosla to accompany him to the show. Thereafter, the story of Do Badan (1966) was written after reworking its story line, that film was also a hit.[3] It is referred to repeatedly in the Vikram Seth's 1993 novel A Suitable Boy, in which people watching it burst into tears and people who can't get tickets start a riot.[4] The film was remade in Tamil as Neengadha Ninaivu (1963).[5]

Cast

Soundtrack

The Soundtrack was composed by the legend Naushad, with lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni. The all-around soundtrack consisted of all the elements of a great album. It exploited the talents of singing legends such as Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Shamshad Begum and G. M. Durrani to the utmost. This was also amongst those few soundtracks in which the career of veteran Mohammad Rafi coincided with that of his idol G. M. Durrani.
