Aan (transl. Pride; also released as The Savage Princess) is a 1952 Indian adventure film, produced and directed by Mehboob Khan. It stars Dilip Kumar, Nimmi, Nadira (in her debut role) and Premnath.

It was India's first technicolor film, as it was shot in 16mm Gevacolour and was blown up in technicolor.[2][3] It was the most expensive Indian film at the time subsequently becoming the highest grossing Indian film ever, both domestically and overseas,[4] a record it held for several years.[5]

Aan was the first Indian film to have a worldwide release in many countries, was subtitled in 17 languages and released in 28 countries,[5] including the United Kingdom,[6] United States, France,[7] and Japan.[8] The film also received critical acclaim in the British press at the time.[9] In South India, it was also dubbed and released in Tamil with the same title.[10]
