you could be right, the film was made before my time so I was presuming it was made back to back. But its odd if it isn't as the film does look so similar with same locales, set designs and even camerawork.
It is one of Indian cinema's best tradegy love stories, and the ending is simply superb.
Well the similarity in looks can be attributed to the fact that the technical crew was the same, hence the shot compositions would have been the same as well. Similarly in more recent times THEVAR MAGAN's remake VIRASAT strikes you for being astonishingly similar in the shot compositions, inspite of different directors making the two versions.
Balu Mahendra's cinematography was breathtaking the way he captured Ooty in winter. But unfortunately IMHO he went a bit overboard on the melodrama bit. I wish the protagonist's angst at the loss of his girl-woman was underplayed. Which is perhaps why it did not do too well at the BO. But without doubt it remains a movie worth a look. The music by Illayaraja was superb. One can never forget Wadkar's rendition of 'Ay zindagi, gale laga le'. Gulzar-sahab turning in some fabulous lyrics with one of the best children's lyric in the form of 'Ek dafa ek jungle tha' !
