Ehsaan (Urdu:) is a 1967 Pakistani Urdu black & white film produced by Waheed Murad and directed by Pervaiz Malik. The film is a love story, starring Waheed Murad, Zeba, Nirala, Rozina, Azad and Ibrahim Nafees.[1]
Ehsaan was released on 3 June 1967 by Film Arts in cinemas of Karachi and Lahore and proved to be one of the popular films of 1967. The film completed 12 weeks on main cinemas and 40 weeks in other cinemas of Karachi and became a 'Silver Jubilee film'. The film had completed 50 weeks and became a 'Golden Jubilee film' in Lahore.
The story was written by Waheed Murad. It boasts a sensitive script as the psychiatrist Waheed falls in love with and woos young widow (and mother of a young daughter to boot) Zeba, a romance that was decidedly different for its time. Complications obviously arise but the movie remains surprisingly mature and for the most part doesn’t turn into a typical Lollywood melodrama.
Ehsaan was filmed in Karachi. During the shootings of Ehsaan, Zeba got married with Mohammad Ali.
The music and the songs are not as good as in Heera Aur Pathar (1964), Armaan (1966) and Doraha (1967), but there are a couple of popular numbers such as Eik naye more par... and Do akhian.... The music is composed by Sohail Rana and the songs are written by Masroor Anwar.[2] [1]
