What happens

Devar is a 1966 Hindi tragic-drama film directed by Mohan Sehgal. It stars Dharmendra and Sharmila Tagore in the lead roles, supported by Shashikala and Deven Verma. The music is by Roshan and the lyrics by Anand Bakshi; this is their only film together that met with success. The film is based on the short novel Naa by the Bengali writer Tarashankar Bandopadhyay. This novel was already adapted into a 1954 Bengali film of the same name, and the 1962 Tamil movie Padithaal Mattum Podhuma. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
