What happens

Bidugade () is a 1973 Indian Kannada language drama film directed by Y. R. Swamy and produced by T. P. Venugopal. It starred Rajkumar, Rajesh and Bharathi along with a host of supporting actors. Minugutare Kalpana made a special appearance in the film. M. Ranga Rao scored the music and the story was written and produced by Ramesh Movies. Chi. Udaya Shankar wrote the lyrics and dialogues. The cinematography by Annayya won him the Karnataka State Film Award for Best Cinematographer award. The core plot of the movie is based on a short story which had earlier been an inspiration for two English movies – the 1946 movie The Man Who Dared and the 1956 movie Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. The 1983 Telugu movie Abhilasha, in spite of being based on the Telugu novel of same name, was reported to be similar to these movies. The movie is also noticeable for showing Rangeet River as a border between India and Sikkim "country" which was true at the time of release of the movie since Sikkim became a part of India only in 1975.
