Bindiya (lit.'The Vermilion Mark')[1] is a 1960 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Krishnan–Panju and produced by M. Saravanan. It is a remake of the Tamil film Deivapiravi, released early the same year. The film stars Balraj Sahni, Jagdeep and Padmini.

Cast

Adapted from Osianama:[2]

Production

Following the success of the Tamil film Deivapiravi (1960), its producer AVM Saravanan wanted to remake the film in Hindi. Deivapiravi star Sivaji Ganesan advised him against doing so, feeling it would not come well. Saravanan ignored Ganesan's advice, and remade the film in that language with the title Bindiya.[3] Krishnan–Panju, the directors of Deivapiravi, returned to direct the remake.[2]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the film was composed by Iqbal Qureshi.[4] The song "Main Apne Aap Se Ghabra Gaya Hoon" attained popularity.[5]

Release and reception

Bindiya was released on 29 December 1960. The film failed to replicate the success of the Tamil original, and Saravanan later regretted ignoring Ganesan's advice.[3]
