Hero and Heroine were supposed to die in the end. Premnath resisted and threatened to leave the film. Then Raj kapoor changed the climax and kept both of them alive 😊.

Indian cinema was always popular early on abroad than it is now (including via directors like Rajamouli). We never really achieved the same popularity abroad. The only reason we ignore this is we now are a very american validation hungry people.
Eastern bloc back in the day always respected indian cinema and embraced it.
