A thriller film produced by Dev Anand under his home banner, Navketan Films, and directed by Raj Khosla, Kala Pani was a remake of the 1955 Bengali film Sabar Uparey, which starred Uttam Kumar and Chhabi Biswas. The Bengali film itself was based on A.J. Cronin's 1953 novel Beyond This Place. Years later, Dev Anand would star in another film directed by his brother Vijay Anand for Navketan Films, Tere Mere Sapne, which was based on A.J. Cronin's novel The Citadel. While Hindi film adaptations of popular English novels were rare, those that did exist often resulted in memorable and content-rich films. The story of Kala Pani was both compelling and skilfully adapted. It revolves around a young man who learns that his father was wrongly implicated in a 15-year-old murder. Determined to clear his...

काला पानी (1958) का निर्माण देव आनंद के घरेलू बैनर 'नवकेतन फ़िल्म्स' के तहत हुआ था और इसके निर्देशक राज खोसला थे। यह रोमांटिक थ्रिलर फ़िल्म सन् 1955 में बनी उत्तम कुमार और छबि बिश्वास के अभिनय से सजी बांग्ला फ़िल्म साबर उपारे का हिन्दी रीमेक थी। और बांग्ला फ़िल्म खुद लेखक ए.जे. क्रोनिन के 1953 में प्रकाशित अंग्रेज़ी उपन्यास 'बियॉन्ड दिस प्लेस' पर आधारित थी। कई साल बाद देव आनंद ने एक और ऐसी फ़िल्म में काम किया था, जो क्रोनिन के उपन्यास पर आधारित थी। उनके भाई विजय आनंद द्वारा निर्देशित और 'नवकेतन फ़िल्म्स' के बैनर तले निर्मित तेरे मेरे सपने (1971) ए.जे. क्रोनिन के उपन्यास 'दि सिटाडेल' पर आधारित थी। वैसे तो लोकप्रिय अंग्रेजी उपन्यासों के ऊपर हिन्दी फ़िल्म बनाने का ऐसा कोई लोकप्रिय चलन नहीं रहा है, लेकिन जब भी ऐसी कोशिशें हुईं हैं तो अक्सर ही समृद्ध कथानक वाली यादगार फ़िल्में हमें मिलीं। काला पानी की कहानी बाँधनेवाली थी और इसे बड़ी कुशलता से हिन्दी दर्शकों के अनुकूल बनाया गया था। फ़िल्म का कथानक एक ऐसे नौजवान के इर्द-गिर्द घूमता है जिसे हाल ही में मालूम पड़ा है कि उसके पिता को हत्या के एक 15 साल पुराने मामले में गलत तरीके से फंसा दिया गया था। अपने पिता के नाम पर लगा दाग़ मिटाने...
