Co-screen play writer P. Vasu remade the movie in Tamil in 1996 as Love Birds.[5]

The interval twist of the movie - where the hero supposedly dies in an accident - and the second half of the movie - where the heroine is sent out of her hometown to her uncle's place in order to overcome her depression but is shell shocked to find a lookalike in a vehicle nearby and later catches a glimpse of him again in a discotheque dancing merrily - went on to be re-used in the 2000 Hindi movie Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.[6][7][8]

gollark: How can drones damage you?
gollark: Unless they just use the internet to download a big program for control. That would work fine.
gollark: Firstly, you can just pick up drones with screnches. Secondly, they can't actually fire weapons or anything as far as I know (maybe they could drop radioactive material, that would be !!FUN!!). Thirdly, I doubt the drones are very secure.
gollark: Anyway, don't worry much about killer drones, they make poor weapons.
gollark: I wonder if you could automatically try and trilaterate/triangulate radiation sources using a network of Geiger counters.
