Khandaan (transl. Family), also spelled as Khan Daan, is a 1942 muslim social Bollywood film directed by Shaukat Hussain Rizvi (in his directorial debut) and produced by D.M. Pancholi,[1][2] starring Pran, Noor Jehan, Ghulam Mohammed and M. Ajmal.[3]
It was written by author Imtiaz Ali Taj and made in Pancholi's Lahore studio. For the first time in British India, there was a lot of "ahead of film release" publicity for this film. As a result, this became a much-awaited film for the Indian public and became a hit film when released.[4] Noor Jehan achieved an overnight stardom following the success of the film.[5] The film also established the career of director Rizvi and music composer Haider.[6] Khandaan is among the a few surviving films that hailed to the genre of muslim social and was produced in Lahore, British India.[7]
