The Day Shall Dawn (Urdu: جاگو ہوا سویرا, Jago Hua Savera) is a 1959 Pakistani Bengali drama film directed by A. J. Kardar.

[2] The Day Shall Dawn was very much a co-production between the two halves of what was then a geographically divided Pakistani state (now independent Pakistan and Bangladesh).

The film depicts the daily lives of East Pakistani fishermen in the village of Saitnol (near Dhaka) and their struggles with loan sharks.

[5] When the film did premier in London, members of Pakistan's High Commission to the United Kingdom disobeyed instructions from the Pakistani government not to attend.

[5] Anjum Taseer, son of the producer, searched for remaining original copies of the film, and put them together for a version that could be screened.
