Description

A man diagnosed with tuberculosis pushes away the woman he is engaged to rather than let her watch him die, and arranges her marriage to someone else. An R. K. Films tragedy with Raj Kapoor and Nargis, and a Shankar-Jaikishan score that includes 'Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat'. It was given a happier ending after preview audiences rejected the original.

Remade as

Ah Bu Dunya (1965, Turkish) — not in this catalogue yet
Turkey remade this twice - as Ah Bu Dunya in 1965 and Bos Cerceve in 1969.

Dubbed as

Prema Lekhalu (Telugu) — not in this catalogue yet
The Telugu dub did better than the Hindi original, and Raj Kapoor thanked Telugu audiences with a song in Shree 420 two years later.

The same people, elsewhere

Same script writer and lyricist: Anari (1959)
Shailendra wrote the lyrics of both; Inder Raj Anand wrote the story and the dialogue of them; Jaywant Pathare photographed them.

Pran as Dr Kailash is worth noticing: he spent thirty years as the most reliable villain in Hindi cinema, and here, and in Bobby twenty years later as Raj's father, he is cast entirely against it.
