What happens

Nishana is a 1950 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Wajahat Mirza, and starring Madhubala, Ashok Kumar and Geeta Bali. The film's music was composed by Khurshid Anwar. Nishana was the first time Madhubala appeared opposite Ashok Kumar after their blockbuster Mahal (1949). The film's box office success cemented her star status. It also further popularised the onscreen pairing of Madhubala and Kumar, who went on to star in Ek Saal (1957), Howrah Bridge (1958) and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
