Baala Bandhana (transl. Bonding of a life time) is a 1971 Indian Kannada language drama film, directed by Peketi Sivaram. The film stars Rajkumar and Jayanthi. The film was a remake of 1953 Bengali film Jog Biyog [1] which was based on the novel of same name by Ashapurna Devi.[2][3][4]

Jog Biyog was earlier remade in Tamil as Padikkadha Medhai, in Telugu as Aatma Bandhuvu and in Hindi as Mehrban. Though the Kannada version was hit, it could not meet the success of the Tamil and Telugu remake versions of the same Bengali movie.[5]
