Based on Mr. & Mrs. '55, it is recognised one of the successful films of the 1950s with primary focus on "money" and other assets amounting to PKR700,000 of each asset including cash amounting seven lakh as described by the last will and testament.[1] According to that last will and testament of heiress's father, his daughter is only entitled to his property if she marries. Adhering to testator's last wish, the rich heiress betrays a poor man convicted of accidental killing and starts pretending to marry him.[2]
Saat Lakh is the first successful film of Jaffer Malik. It won the inaugural Nigar Award for best film, in addition to 4 awards in others categories.[3] In an article by BBC, the film was included in the list of 10 best films of the Pakistani cinema.[2] The film's success paved the way to establish the career of Talish, Neelo and Sultana.[4][5]
An heiress has to marry in order to spend her financial assets and physical possessions worth PKR seven lakh each such as a bungalow worth PKR seven lakh and other assets also worth seven lakhs as well as cash worth PKR seven lakh. As part of this condition, she makes a plan to marry a convicted man and takes him to her home at a hill station for honeymoon where she calls her lawyer to fulfill legal requirements of marriage. Some days later, she calls the police through her lawyer for the arrest of convicted man with whom she pretended to be a true spouse. However, when he is arrested, she falls in love with him. At the time of his arrest, he learns about her betrayal behaviour and his love for heiress turns into hatred.
She subsequently tries to prove his innocence and asks the police that he accidentally killed a man who tried to rape a woman for which he was convicted and is a runaway.[6]
Too Chhuti Ley Key Aa Ja Balma and Yaaro Mujhey Maaf Karo were the popular tracks from the film, where the latter was sold over 100,000 copies.[1][9][10]
