Armaan (Urdu: ارمان) is a 1966 Pakistani black-and-white film produced by Waheed Murad and directed by Pervez Malik. It was the first Pakistani film to complete 75 weeks in cinemas and, thus, became the first Pakistani (Urdu) "Platinum Jubilee" film. The film was picturized in black-and-white prints in Karachi. It starred Waheed Murad and Zeba in leading roles.[1][2]
The music of the film which was composed by Sohail Rana is considered as his magnum opus, and achieved the cult status, especially the songs Ko Ko Korina and Akele Na Jana, the former of which is considered as the first pop song of South Asia.[3][4] Armaan won six Nigar Awards in different categories including best film, best director and best actress.[5][6]
