Production
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]
Sangam was produced and directed by Zahir Raihan. It was released on Eid-ul-Azha Day, 23 April 1964.[1]
Music
Khan Ataur Rahman composed the musical scores.[1]
