The Tamil Film had some few scenes different from an original movie like:

Ranjith in Hindi kills the doctor who has treated his gunshot wounds, whereas Ranjith in Tamil lets the doctor leave his place alive.
Ranjith is portrayed only as a thief and not a murderer.
In the final court scene, Ranjith is identified by Bhola's dog, whereas in Tamil version Ranjith convinces everybody that the dog is
lying. He is finally trapped on seeing his mother lying dead and he reveals himself by exposing his love for his mother.
Tamil version has a story as to why Ranjith has become a diamond thief, with a small flashback in his childhood, which is not in
Hindi movie.

The film was remade in Kannada as Mutthanna starring Shiva Rajkumar.

Awards
1970 Filmfare Best Actor Award for Rajesh Khanna.
