Guide is a 1965 Indian bilingual romantic drama film directed by Vijay Anand and produced by Dev Anand, who co-starred in the film with Waheeda Rehman. Based on R. K.

Trivia

Dev Anand had invested every penny he had at that time in the making of this film. Yet, initially Dev Anand could not find any distributor for Guide, mainly because the US version had already flopped.

In the Guide, Raju, lately released from jail after a 2-year prison sentence for cheque fraud spends a night at a derelict temple. He is mistaken for a holy man by the villagers and is forced by the circumstance to assume the role of the village holy man. In the Malayalam short film, Thattumporathappan (Lord of the Attic) by Sudevan, a man fleeing a communal riot hides in the attic of an old house.
