Plagiarism issue
The film was banned 10 days after its release because it was a plagiarized version of American film Knock on Wood (1954, starring Danny Kaye, Mai Zetterling). Paramount Pictures, producers of Knock on the Wood filed a copyright lawsuit in India. They won the case and the judge of Bombay High Court ordered all prints of Begunah to be destroyed.[1][2] However, in 2020, National Film Archive of India found two 16mm reels consisting of around 60 to 70 minutes footage.[3]
