Question: Do both films: The Daytrippers and Mere Jeevan Saathi (1972 Film) have the directors from the same country?

Ravikant Nagaich( 5 July 1931 – 6 January 1991, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu) was an Indian film personality born at Atrauli, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India in a Brahmin family. He started his filming career as a cinematographer in Telugu films, N.T. Rama Rao's" Sri Seetha Rama Kalyanam" in 1961 being his first film. With" Farz", he turned to Hindi movies and direction. This low- budget thriller inspired by James Bond was a surprise hit and helped Ravikant and the film's lead pair's( Jeetendra and Babita) career. Dharmendra acted as Agent 116 Gopal in Keemat( 1973). Jeetendra reprised his role as Agent 116, Gopalkishan Pandey in Raksha( 1982) and again in The Gold Medal( 1984). He went on to direct 24 more films Duty being his last. Though he had some big budget hits like Mere Jeevan Saathi and The Train( 1970 film), his low budget fare such as" Surakshaa" and" Wardaat"- again in the secret agent mode like Farz, Keemat and Raksha- are his remembered hits due to the tacky stunts and special effects and the fact that despite these drawbacks the films did well. Mithun Chakravorty too benefitted from Surakshaa to move to commercial films as Jeetendra had earlier with Farz. He also produced two films in the 1980s:" Wardaat" and" Shapath". <SEP> Mere Jeevan Saathi (" My Life Partner") is a 1972 Indian film produced by Harish and Vinod Shah.
