Alag Alag is a 1985 Hindi film starring Rajesh Khanna, Tina Munim, Shashi Kapoor in the lead roles and produced by Rajesh Khanna.[1] The film is best remembered for the way it was shot in Kashmir and different storyline. In 1992, Ram Awatar Agnihotri wrote that it was in this film that Munim showed the "first sparks" of the dedicated actress she would become.[2]
Kishore Kumar did not accept any money from Rajesh Khanna for rendering the songs of this film.[3] When Khanna asked why he would not accept, Kumar replied that he had got a fresh lease of life as a singer with Aradhana (1969) and since this was Khanna's first film as producer, he had no right to accept any money. The film was given three stars by the critics as noted in the book Collections[4]
Rajesh Khanna's daughter, Baby Twinkle Khanna sounded the clapper board, Mrs. Yash Chopra directed the first shot, Mrs. Mohan Kumar broke the coconut and Mrs. J. Om Prakash switched on the camera.
