Sangam is a Pakistani Urdu film released in 1964. Directions by Zahir Raihan. It is stars Rosy Afsari, Haroon, Sumita Devi, Khalil. It was the first full-length colour movie made in Pakistan. [1] [2]
The film was made in Bengali-speaking East Pakistan, [1] and Raihan and much of the cast and crew were from there, but for commercial reasons it was produced in Urdu. [3]
Raihan's decision to film in colour was influenced by the first colour laboratory in Pakistan being located in Dacca, at the fledgling government-run East Pakistan Film Development Corporation. [4]
Most of the film was shot on location in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Kaptai Lake and its surrounding hills feature prominently. [4] [5]

Khan Ataur Rahman composed the musical scores. [1]
