==Plot==
This was mainly a [[Noor Jehan]] musical about a man seduced by a gold-digging woman. The man later kills her along with her new lover and then the man is jailed. When he is released, he finds employment as a gardener and becomes a father-figure to his employer's son Anwar and to Anwar's fiancée Zeenat (Noor Jehan). This allows him to prevent Anwar from perpetuating precisely the same crime for which he had been jailed as history repeats itself. This film alleges, men are constantly threatened by women and only paternal wisdom can save them from the untoward desires of women. Future famous film directors [[Ramesh Saigal]] and [[S. K. Ojha]] assisted in this film. source: Ashish Rajadhyaksha & Paul Willemen ''Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema '', New Revised Edition 1999.

Khandaan (transl. Family), also spelled as Khan Daan, is a 1942 muslim social Bollywood film directed by Shaukat Hussain Rizvi (in his directorial debut) and produced by D.M. Pancholi,[1][2] starring Pran, Noor Jehan, Ghulam Mohammed and M. Ajmal.[3]

It was written by author Imtiaz Ali Taj and made in Pancholi's Lahore studio. For the first time in British India, there was a lot of "ahead of film release" publicity for this film. As a result, this became a much-awaited film for the Indian public and became a hit film when released.[4] Noor Jehan achieved an overnight stardom following the success of the film.[5] The film also established the career of director Rizvi and music composer Haider.[6]

Khandaan is among the few surviving films that hailed from the genre of Muslim social films and was produced in Lahore, British India.[7]
