Dastan a 1950 Bollywood drama film produced and directed by A. R. Kardar. A box office success, the film became the third highest earning film of 1950, earning an approximate gross of Rs. 1,15,00,000 and net of Rs. 65,00,000 .[1] It stars Raj Kapoor, Suraiya, Veena, Suresh, Al Nasir, Murad and Shakila.[2]
The story, a tragic melodrama, was a narrative in flashback.[3] It was inspired by the film Enchantment (1948), directed by Irving Reis.[4] Cited as "one of the biggest commercial hits" by Patel, Suraiya's acting was stated to have "over-shadowed" that of Raj Kapoor.[5] However, Dastan was Suraiya's last major success as an actress, following which her popularity waned and she was replaced by Madhubala as the top female star.[6]
