[1] Also written by Nanda, Singaar featured Suraiya and Jairaj as a couple whose marriage begins troubling after he falls in love with a prostitute named Sitara, played by Madhubala.

Principal photography of Singaar took place in Shree Sound studio in Bombay, and was marked by professional rivalry between Suraiya and Madhubala.
