Aan (Hindi: आन, Urdu: آن, translation: Pride), released as The Savage Princess in the United Kingdom and United States, is a 1952 Indian Hindi language adventure film, produced and directed by Mehboob Khan.

It was India's first technicolor film, as it was shot in 16mm Gevacolour and was blown up in Technicolor.^[3]^[4] It stars Dilip Kumar, Nimmi, Nadira (in her debut role), Premnath. It was the most expensive Indian film at the time, subsequently becoming the highest grossing Indian film ever, a record it held for several years.

It was the highest-grossing Indian film ever at the time, domestically^[5] and overseas.^[6] Aan was the first Indian film to have a worldwide release in many countries, subtitled in 17 languages and released in 28 countries,^[6] including the United Kingdom,^[7] United States, France,^[8] and Japan.^[9] The film also received critical acclaim in the British press at the time.^[10] In South India, it was also dubbed and released in Tamil with the same title, Aan.^[11]
