Pancholi, starring Pran, Noor Jehan, Ghulam Mohammed and M. Ajmal.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. Noor Jehan achieved an overnight stardom following the success of the film. The film also established the career of director Rizvi and music composer Haider. Khandaan is among the a few surviving films that hailed to the genre of muslim social and was produced in Lahore, British India.
