TAMASHA (1952) was produced by Ashok Kumar and Savak Vacha under the banner of Bombay Talkies. When the film was conceptualised, both Ashok Kumar and Savak Vacha were contemplating leaving Bombay Talkies after handing over the management to the Workers’ Cooperative. Under the new management, three films – ‘Mashaal’ (1950), ‘Maa’ (1952) and ‘Tamaashaa’ (1952) were produced. Unfortunately, all these films did not get the commercial success plunging the Workers’ Cooperative into serious financial debt. Ashok Kumar, Dev Anand, Meena Kumari and many others tried to rescue it by offering to work free for its films. The trio – Ashok Kumar, Dev Anand and Meena Kumari and others worked for the banner while making ‘Baadbaan’ (1954). Unfortunately this film also failed miserably at the box office thus bringing down the curtains on Bombay Talkies Limited, the first listed company from Hindi film industry on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
