Bollywood Films That Must Be Seen By Western Audiences

Kati Patang (1971)

After promising to raise the child of her dying friend, a young woman risks revealing her identity. Kati Patang, which stars Asha Parekh, is one of the 17 consecutive hits of Khanna between 1969 and 1971.

The plot was inspired by the 1950 film No Man of Her Own. After its release, it became the sixth highest-earning Indian film of 1971. Kati Patang was twice remade for modern audiences who enjoyed the same compelling storyline updated for young people.
