Do Badan

Do Badan (English: Two Bodies) is a 1966 Hindi film directed by Raj Khosla, and starring Manoj Kumar, Asha Parekh, Simi Garewal and Pran. The music is by Ravi. The film became a big hit at the box office.

The film idea was suggested by Manoj Kumar, who asked Khosla to accompany him for a show of Deedar (1951), directed by Nitin Bose, which was having a rerun in local theatres. Thereafter, the story of Do Badan was written after reworking its story line and the screenplay was written by G.R. Kamat.
