Dhoon (Tune or Passion) is a 1953 Bollywood film directed by M. Kumar. The film was produced by Silver Kings, a production company formed by Kumar and his then wife, actress Pramila.[1] The film stars Raj Kapoor, Nargis, Motilal, Kumar, Pramila,[2] E. Bilmoria, Leela Mishra and Kamal Mehra. Mehra was a lesser known comedian who started his career in 1951 with Naujawan.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Silver Kings was literally husband-wife M. Kumar and Pramila's company — they produced this while their marriage was reportedly crumbling. Art imitates marriage counseling?
Madan Mohan's first film score established his signature 'ghazal meets Bombay' sound that defined 1950s romantic tragedy. This is where the weeping violin trope was born.
