Atma Tarang is a 1937 Hindi social drama film directed by Sohrab Modi.[1][2] This film and Khan Bahadur, made the same year, were the first films produced under Modi's newly established banner, Minerva Movietone (1936). The music was composed by Habib Khan, with art direction by Rusi K. Banker.[3][4] The film starred the singer-actor Feroz Dastur in the role of Mohan,[5] with Sohrab Modi, Prabha, and Vasant Pahelwan.[6] C. Ramchandra, the famous music composer was a harmonium accompanist for Minerva Movietone music directors like Habib Khan and Bindu Khan. He also acted in a small role in Atma Tarang and in the earlier Said-e-Havas (1936).[7]
The story involved the topic of Brahmacharya, which was Modi's preference for his first film under the Minerva banner, as he was influenced at that time by his interest in the Ramakrishna Mission.[8]
