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. However, in 2020, National Film Archive of India found two 16mm reels consisting of around 60 to 70 minutes footage.
