Manzilein Aur Bhi Hain (English: Miles To Go [1]) is a 1974 Bollywood crime thriller film directed by Mahesh Bhatt, and starring Kabir Bedi, Prema Narayan and Gulshan Arora in lead roles.
The directorial debut film was about two fugitives and their relationship with a prostitute. The film was made in 1972, and was initially refused censor certificate and banned by the Censor Board of India for "mocking the sacred institution of marriage",[2][3] and was thus held up for 14 months. [4] However, after extended delays the Government stepped in, overruled the Board and passed the film, along with four other banned films.[5] When it was finally released in 1974, it received neither critical or commercial success.[6] It would take another decade and unsuccessful films in between, before his directed confessional cinema classic, Arth (1982) and later Saaransh (1984), which got him critical acclaim.

Remake
In 2012, Actress-turned-director Pooja Bhatt and daughter of Mahesh Bhatt, announced her inclination towards remaking her father's debut film, calling it "a bit too ahead of its time." She also talked about the financial hardships caused after the film. "he (Mahesh Bhatt) broke a table in frustration. I was very small that time. We didn`t have money and he walked back home from there (censor board office) to Shivaji Park. It was the dead end in his life."[6][9]
