Films of yesteryears carry a unique value with good music. Story, comedy, tragedy, dialogues, violence (if any) were natural and left an impact on all the viewers. Music was the real life of the film. Many times the film had a story that the viewers did not care much about, but the music was the real base of its success. In fact, many films were made with situations created to fit the good songs, and the story was written or modified for those situations. Movies with good stories or those with just the great melodious music have become the Classics today.

There have been large number of Great Films produced since the first talking movie Alam Ara (1931). Most of the famous and memorable films of yesteryears, from all those great Actors, Actresses, Singers, Music Directors, Directors and Production Studios, many hard to find today, are among the large collection of Sangeet Mahal video archives.

The indo-pakistan subcontinent had a big industry with the second largest production center at Lahore. On August 14, 1947 partition of the subcontinent gave birth to a new national film industry, the Pakistan Film Industry. Filmmaking in Pakistan grew with good writers, talented artists, and production staff. Many memorable films were produced with good family drama, love story, comedy and cultural issues which are part of Sangeet Mahal archives.
