Production
Following the success of the Tamil film Deivapiravi (1960), its producer M. Saravanan wanted to remake the film in Hindi. Deivapiravi star Sivaji Ganesan advised him against doing so, feeling it would not come well. Saravanan ignored Ganesan's advice, and remade the film in that language with the title Bindiya.[3] Krishnan–Panju, the directors of Deivapiravi, returned to direct the remake.[2]
Soundtrack
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Iqbal Qureshi.[4] The song "Main Apne Aap Se Ghabra Gaya Hoon" attained popularity.[5]
Release and reception
Bindiya was released on 29 December 1960. The film failed to replicate the success of the Tamil original, and Saravanan later regretted ignoring Ganesan's advice.[3] However, in a review dated 11 August 1961, The Indian Express praised the performances of Sahni, Padmini, Jagdeep, Lalitha Pawar and Om Prakash.[6]
