Chanda is an Urdu-language film that was released on 3 August 1962 in Pakistan.

It is the first Urdu-language film to be produced in East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh).

Anis Dosani arranged to distribute the film in other provinces and territories of Pakistan on a commission basis.

[7] Bengali filmmaker Alamgir Kabir said about Chanda in 1969: The industry was fast heading for a disaster when a director dared to go a little bit further and made an Urdu language film.

Chanda's performance naturally encouraged a trend of Urdu filmmaking in East Pakistan.
