[1][2] It is a remake of the 1968 Indian movie Do Dooni Char. [3] That movie was a remake of the 1963 Bengali language movie Bhranti Bilas. [4] It was based on Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's Bengali novel by the same name. That book was based on Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors. [5] Angoor was remade by Rohit Shetty as Cirkus.[6] All of the characters in the move are innocent. Destiny plays the main role in bringing all characters to one place.
