What happens

Manzilein Aur Bhi Hain (transl. Miles to Go Miles) is a 1974 Bollywood crime thriller film directed by Mahesh Bhatt, and starring Kabir Bedi, Prema Narayan and Gulshan Arora in lead roles. The rights of this film are now owned by Glamour Eyes Films. The directorial debut film was about two fugitives and their relationship with a prostitute. The film was made in 1972, and was initially refused censor certificate and banned by the Censor Board of India for "mocking the sacred institution of marriage", and was thus held up for 14 months. However, after extended delays the Government stepped in, overruled the Board and passed the film, along with four other banned films. When it was finally released in 1974, it received neither critical or commercial success. It would take another decade and unsuccessful films in between, before his directed confessional cinema classic, Arth (1982) and later Saaransh (1984), which got him critical acclaim.
