Ehsan (1954) Directed by Rajendra Sharma under the banner of Mohla Films, Ehsan was produced by J. G. Mohla and featured a notable cast including Shammi Kapoor, Munawwar Sultana, Prithviraj Kapoor, Gulab, Naaz, K. N. Singh, and Roopmala. The film is particularly significant for bringing together Prithviraj Kapoor and his son Shammi Kapoor in lead roles—marking the first and only time the legendary father-son duo shared screen space in such capacity. This rare collaboration adds both sentimental and cinematic value, especially within the legacy of Bollywood's Kapoor dynasty. The musical score, composed by Madan Mohan with lyrics by D. N.

एहसान (1954) के निर्देशक राजेन्द्र शर्मा थे और इस फ़िल्म का 'मोहला फिल्म्स' के बैनर तले निर्माता जे. जी. मोहला ने निर्माण किया था। इस फ़िल्म में शम्मी कपूर, मुनव्वर सुल्ताना, पृथ्वीराज कपूर, गुलाब, नाज़, के. एन. सिंह और रूपमाला जैसे उस दौर के प्रमुख कलाकार भूमिकाएँ निभा रहे थे। यह फ़िल्म खास इसलिए मानी जाती है क्योंकि इसमें पहली और आखिरी बार पृथ्वीराज कपूर और उनके मंझले बेटे शम्मी कपूर ने एक साथ किसी फ़िल्म में प्रमुख भूमिकाओं में अभिनय किया। यह दुर्लभ मौका भारतीय सिनेमा के इतिहास में, ख़ासकर कपूर खानदान की सिनेमा से जुड़ी विरासत को ध्यान में रखते हुए खास बन जाता है। इस फ़िल्म में संगीत दिया था मदन मोहन ने और इसके लिए गीत लिखे थे डी. एन. माधोक व कैफ़ इरफ़ानी ने। इस फ़िल्म को विशेष रूप से गीतों के गहराई लिए जज़्बातों और मधुर संगीत के लिए याद किया जाता है। फ़िल्म के कुल छह गीतों में से बेग़म अख्तर का गाया एक गीत, “हमें दिल में बसा भी लो” कभी व्यावसायिक रूप से रिलीज़ नहीं किया गया और इसके चलते वह संग्रहकर्ताओं और संगीत इतिहासकारों के लिए उनके खज़ाने का एक दुर्लभ रत्न बन गया है। इसके अलावा लता मंगेशकर और आशा भोंसले दोनों के गाए गीत भी इसमें शामिल हैं। लता...
