Trivia

Album

• This film was adapted from the American romantic comedy "It Happened One Night" (1934) starring Clark Gable. A few other Hindi films were also inspired by the same film - "Chori Chori" (1956), "Nau Do Gyarah" (1957), "Solva Saal" (1958), "Basant" (1960) and "Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin" (1991). Similar plots were used in other Indian films as well - "Chandhrodhayam" (1966) and "Kadhal Rojave" (2000) in Tamil, and "Hudugaata" (2007) in Kannada.[1][2][3][4][5]
• Chic Chocolate debuted as a music director in this film. C. Ramchandra, whom Chic Chocolate assisted in many films, was credited as a Musical Supervisor. Born Antonio Xavier Vaz in 1916 in Goa, Chic Chocolate was a multi-faceted musician - he played the trumpet, fronted a jazz band, and assisted Hindi film music directors like C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan. He went on to compose music for two more films after this - "Rangeeli" (1952) and "Kar Bhala" (1956).[6][7]

Song

• O Bhai Machhua Tere Jaale Ka Toota Re Taaga - This song sequence, set in a Goan fishing village, may have inspired a similar song sequence in another adaptation of "It Happened One Night" (1934) - "Galyat Sankali Sonyachi" ("Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin", 1991).[8]
• Aisa Kya Kasoor Kiya Dil Jo Choor Choor Kiya - While the film version of the song was sung by Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar, the version issued on records was sung by Chitalkar and Lata Mangeshkar.
