Aasman Mahal (1965) was a poignant family drama film directed by K. A. Abbas, produced under the "Naya Sansar" banner. The story, penned by Abbas, features cinematography by Ramchandra and a script and dialogues by Inder Raj Anand. The film stars Prithviraj Kapoor in a highly acclaimed role as an impoverished Nawab, praised for its authenticity. Dilip Raj, the son of P. Jairaj, plays the hero, following his previous role in Shehar Aur Sapna (1963). The film also features Surekha, David, Nana Palsikar, and Anwar Hussain in supporting roles.

"आसमां महल" (1965) एक संवेदनशील पारिवारिक कहानी पर बनी फ़िल्म थी, जिसके निर्देशक ख़्वाजा अहमद अब्बास थे। उन्होंने इसे 'नया संसार' के बैनर तले बनाया था। अब्बास अपने समाजवादी रुझान वाले यथार्थवादी लेखन के लिए जाने जाते थे और राज कपूर की आवारा (1951), श्री 420 (1955) और मेरा नाम जोकर (1970) के लेखक रहे। खुद अब्बास की लिखी कहानी पर बनी आसमां महल की पटकथा और संवाद इंदर राज आनंद ने लिखे थे। फ़िल्म में सिनेमैटोग्राफ़ी रामचंद्र की थी। फ़िल्म में पृथ्वीराज कपूर ने जिस निपुणता के साथ एक मुफ़लिसी में घिरे नवाब की भूमिका निभाई, उसे बहुत प्रशंसा मिली। उनके किरदार की सच्चाई और प्रामाणिकता को खूब सराहा गया। फ़िल्म में प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता पी. जयराज के बेटे दिलीप राज नायक की भूमिका में थे। इससे पहले वे अब्बास की ही शहर और सपना (1963) में नज़र आए थे। उनके साथ फ़िल्म में सुरेखा, डेविड, नाना पालसिकर और अनवर हुसैन जैसे कलाकार सहायक भूमिकाओं में थे। आसमां महल की कहानी एक ऐसे नवाब के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है जिसने अपनी तमाम जायदाद खो दी है, फिर भी वो अपने बीत चुके वैभवशाली दिनों को छोड़ने के लिए तैयार नहीं है। कुछ भी करके वो अपनी पुरानी शान-ओ-शौक़त वाली ज़िन्दगी को बनाए रखना चाहता है। दूसरी ओर उसका बेटा है, जो इस...
