“Begunaah” (1957) was a movie whose story was plagiarised from an American movie namely “Knock on Wood” (1954). Plagiarisation from foreign movies have been going on from olden days and filmakers indulge in it with impunity even today. It would seem that “Begunaah” (1957) was the only movie which has even been penalised for this act. When Paramount Pictures, the makers of “Knock on Wood” (1954) came to know about the fact that “Begunaah” (1957) was copied from their movie, they look legal action in a Bombay court. Much to the astonishment of Indian movie fraternity and legal circles, the Indian court ordered the destruction of all copies of “Begunaah” (1957). The movie, which was already released, had to be withdrawn from movie halls and the prints were destroyed. all this happened quite swiftly.

Gosh, it has been a long trek already, and the night is very late as I complete the preparation and the write up for this post.

And all along the way, it has been raining music – most wonderful, and the best.

Films made in the early era of Indian Talkie are a national heritage. Unfortunately, most of the films from the period 1931 to 1939 are not available . Very few films of that era are available. Even the leaflets and film books of these films are not traceable in most cases. In few books like Encyclopaedia of Indian Films the short notes on some films are to be found.
