Aasman Mahal (lit. 'Sky palace') is a 1965 Hindi social family drama film directed by K. A. Abbas.[1] Produced for the "Naya Sansar" banner, its story was written by Abbas, and the cinematographer was Ramchandra.[2] The script and dialogues were by Inder Raj Anand.[3] Prithviraj Kapoor's role as the impoverished Nawab, was acclaimed in the film for its "authenticity".[4] Dilip Raj, son of P. Jairaj, played the hero, having earlier acted in Shehar Aur Sapna (1963).[5] The other co-stars were Surekha, David, Nana Palsikar, Anwar Hussain.[6]
The story revolves around a Nawab, who having lost his money, still continues to live in the old traditional style, maintaining a grandeur facade. His son opposes the unrealistic life-style.
