[edit] Movie notes
The film was later remade in India, the Hindi hit film Aradhana (1969)[1] that made Rajesh Khanna a major star[2]. The film won Filmfare Best Movie Award and Sharmila Tagore won the Filmfare Best Actress Award.[3] Aradhana's success spawned two more remakes in India: the Telugu language film Kannavari Kalalu (1974), and the Tamil language film Sivahamiyin Selvan (1974).[4]
