11 O'Clock is a 1948 action film directed by Homi Wadia.[1] It starred Fearless Nadia, John Cawas, Atish Sayani and Aftab. The Austin car, which was a regular in most Fearless Nadia films, was given a billing with the main cast as "Austin Ki Bacchi" (daughter of Austin). The music was composed by Chitragupta.[2] Homi Wadia had left Wadia Movietone, having parted ways with his brother JBH Wadia and started his own film company called Basant Pictures.[3] He was to continue with the action genre, but produced more mythological films under this banner. His co-sponsor was M. B. Billimoria, who also distributed the film.[4]

Production
Homi Wadia made 152 films under his Basant Pictures banner. Most were mythological, and several were action-adventure films starring Fearless Nadia. He made use of the same sets several times to save money.[3][4] Like all his other action films, this too had Nadia doing her stunts, fist raised in the air, western clothes, running over trains, fist-fighting bad guys and hefting them on her shoulders, to make the formula-driven genre be understood and accepted by the audiences by just seeing the poster.[4]
Soundtrack
The film's music was composed by Chitragupta, with lyrics written by Rajjan.[5]
