Over the years, the film has acquired cult status as a classic triangle of a man caught between two women.

Sonias love is eternal as she believes, aurat sirf ek baar pyaar karti hai baar baar nahin.

After directing five films for his elder brother BR Chopras banner, Chopra was keen to fly on his own and Gulshan Rai decided to finance him for what we now know as the first Yash Raj Film.

In an interview with Karan Johar, the late Chopra revealed that his cast and crew were completely by his side to make the film Rakhee even offered Chopra money in case he needed it to mount his first film, and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi asked to be paid only once the film became a hit.

A lot of it had to do with Khannas dwindling star status prior to Daag, he had eight flops on the trot and the controversial ending of the film where the man goes home with two wives.

Chopra said, Gulshan Rai felt the film may not do well because of the controversial end.

I told him that Ive made the film only for the end but he thought of releasing it as an art film and booked only nine theatres in Mumbai.

Chopras conviction paid off the film created such a buzz that eventually Daag released in 18 theatres and was declared a superhit on the first day itself.

Everyone advised me to change the end but I didnt think of doing it even once.

Film folklore insisted there were tensions between the two Bengali actresses, but Chopra said, If they had any tension, they didnt show me.

Before signing the two female leads, he famously told them, If you have any issues, then better tell me now and have faith in me.

I will listen to you but I wont change the scene for you, I will only change it if I want to.

She reserved the highest praise for Khanna though, who she declared as one of the seven wonders for the industry.

She said, There was magic in Rajeshs face and mannerisms.

He was shy and conservative, but misunderstood.

Why wouldnt he come three hours late for a shot when his co-actors including me took three hours to dress up He did not use any make-up ever.

The combination of Laxmikant- Pyarelal and Sahir came up with ditties that have passed the test of time.

Ab chaahe Maa roothe ya Baba and Mere dil mein aaj kya hai were highly placed in the Binaca Geet Mala.

You just have to look at the way Khanna croons, Mera pyaar keh raha hai main tujhe khuda bana doon and you will want to watch the film.
