In the story · "Ja Simran ja": the final train
A real filming location. The film ends here. In the story it is a station in Punjab: Simran's father finally lets go of her hand and tells her to go and live her life, and she runs after the train where Raj holds out his hand. It was shot at this small country station near Mumbai, used in many Hindi films.
