There have been a few copies and remakes of the magical It Happened One Night, and this is yet another one.
For some reason, both the Bengali films inspired by the original, the other being Chauwa Pauwa, with Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen, have one thing in common - the heroine isn't running for freedom to marry her love as in the original, but only to escape the suitor her father insists her on marrying. Her own heart, untouched until she falls for Uttam Kumar, and she waits for him in this one for a few years!
This film is set in Gujarat for some reason, and doesn't quite do justice to the milieu they attempt to portray, especially so in case of the heroine. Or her father.
There is a beautiful song, Dekhoni Ki Pathareo Phote Phul, but for some reason DR omits it, just as they do in case of some other songs from other films that are soul of the film.
