Release

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.

Plot

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.

Filming

Ehsaan was filmed in Karachi. During the shootings of Ehsaan, Zeba got married with Mohammad Ali, an arch rival of Waheed Murad. Zeba, instead of reaching Karachi for completing her shootings and honoring her commitment, probably went on a honeymoon. That meant dismantling of the film's set and a big financial loss to Film Arts. Waheed on being told of Zeba’s marriage blurted out, "not again!... She is turning into an Elizabeth Taylor," he said, after a pause. The film was shot in Eastern Film Studio of Karachi.

Music

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.[1][2]

• Ik naye more pe lay aaein hain haalaat mujhe.. by Mehdi Hassan[2]
