Anmol Ghadi[a] (transl. Twins Priceless moment) is a 1946 Indian drama film directed by Mehboob Khan, starring Surendra, Suraiya, Noor Jehan and Zahur Raja.

The film was a musical hit and is still remembered for its music by Naushad, with hits like "Aawaaz De Kahaan Hai", "Jawaan Hai Mohabbat Haseen Hai Zamana" and "Mere Bachpan Ke Saathi Mujhe Bhool Na Jaana". The film also featured playback singer, Mohammed Rafi's first notable song, "Tera Khilauna Toota Balak",[2] and became the highest-grossing film at the Indian box office in 1946.[1]

The film was an inspiration for the 2001 Telugu movie Manasantha Nuvve. The Telugu movie was remade in Hindi as Jeena Sirf Merre Liye (2002), in Kannada as Manasella Neene (2002), in Tamil as Thithikudhe (2003), in Bengali as Moner Majhe Tumi (2003) and in Odia as Nei Jaa Re Megha Mate (2008).
