The film is based on the short novel Naa by the noted Bengali writer Tara Shankar Bandopadhyay. This novel was already adapted into a 1954 Bengali movie of the same name, and the 1962 Tamil movie Padithaal Mattum Podhuma. This movie is considered Mohan Sehgal's masterpiece, and was praised for Dharmendra & Sharmila's cool performances, and Deven Verma's commendable negative role. All of the songs from Devar were big hits at the time, and are still very popular, especially "Baharon ne mera chaman lootkar" and "Aaya hai mujhe phir yaad" by Mukesh, and "Duniya mein aisa kahan" by Lata Mangeshkar.
