Sneh Bandhan (The Bonds Of Love) also called Intezar, is a social melodrama Bollywood film. It was released in 1940.[1][2] The film was a maiden production from producer Kikubhai Desai's new banner; Great India Pictures. Previously known to produce crime thrillers and fantasy, this was Desai's first social genre film. The music was by Pannalal Ghosh, with lyrics written by Pandit Betaab.[3] The cast included Bibbo, E. Billimoria, Navin Yagnik, Pratima Devi and Muzammil.[4]

The film focuses on Snehalata, played by Bibbo, who is in love with the poor Gopal, but has to marry the rich Prakash. The story takes several turns in Sneha's life which include murder, a jail term, the birth of a son, stardom, blackmail and again, a killing where her son, now a lawyer, defends her in court.
