What happens

Raat Ke Rahi is a 1959 Indian Hindi drama film written and directed by Naseem. It was a Pushpanjali production with music by Bipin Babul and lyrics by Vishwamitra Adil. The cast included Shammi Kapoor, Jabeen Jalil, Nazir Hussain, Achala Sachdev, Anwar Hussain and Iftekhar. Naseem (Salamuddin) went on to direct the successful Bhojpuri film Hamar Sansar (1967) which was produced by Nazir Hussain. According to Jabeen in an interview, Raat Ke Rahi was one of the first Hindi films to be made with a Christian background. Set against the backdrop of Goa, it was a free adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn, with inns, smuggling and a stranger involved. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
