Sanam is a 1951 Bollywood romantic film directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal, who also directed the classic Anarkali..[1] It starred Dev Anand, and his co-star was Suraiya, who also recorded the playback singing for the film. Meena Kumari acted in the film in a supporting role, where she played the role of Suraiya's best friend.[2] The film was unsuccessful at the box office, which attributed to Suraiya's fading stardom in the early 1950s, and Madhubala's and Nargis' simultaneous rise as the top female stars.[3]

Story

Sanam is a love story where Yogen (Dev Anand), a poor unemployed young man, comes across Sadhana (Suraiya) and Rani (Meena Kumari) in a chance encounter in a book shop. Under desperate conditions, Yogen had to rob some money for his mother's treatment, but gets involved in an accidental homicide for which he is jailed by the court, where the Judge (K.N. Singh) is Sadhana's father. Sadhana is an independent-minded daughter and does not hesitate to argue with her father about social justice for the poor and underprivileged. The story takes many twists and turn with songs and a dance number. Eventually Yogen and Sadhana fall for each other, but their proposed marriage is vehemently opposed by the father of the bride.
