Wiki.

Dastan a 1950 Bollywood drama film produced and directed by A. R. Kardar. A box office success, the film became the third highest earning film of 1950, earning an approximate gross of Rs. 1,15,00,000 and net of Rs. 65,00,000 . It stars Raj Kapoor, Suraiya, Veena, Suresh, Al Nasir, Murad and Shakila.

The story, a tragic melodrama, was a narrative in flashback. It was inspired by the film Enchantment (1948), directed by Irving Reis. Cited as "one of the biggest commercial hits" by Patel, Suraiya's acting was stated to have "over-shadowed" that of Raj Kapoor. However, Dastan was Suraiya's last major success as an actress, following which her popularity waned and she was replaced by Madhubala as the top female star.
