==Review==
''Anmol Rattan'''s review was titled "M. Sadiq's Insipid Direction". The film was called a "worthless picture" from Jaimini Dewan, "there was nothing anmol about it". The director M. Sadiq, and story writer D. N. Madhok, came in for harsh criticism stating that they had "insulted all cinegoers" by making this film. The photography by Ratanlal Nagar was praised as "the only man who has done his job well", as was actor Gope in his comic role "the only artiste who gave a good performance".<ref name=TMPM/>

==Music==
The soundtrack was composed by [[Vinod ER|Vinod]], with lyrics by [[D. N. Madhok]]. Vinod used [[Talat Mehmood]] in ''Anmol Rattan'' as Talat's first venture in Hindi films. However, since ''[[Arzoo (1950 film)|Arzoo]]'' (1950) was released earlier the credit of Talat's first song goes to composer Anil Biswas for the song "Ae Dil Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le Chal".<ref name="Ranade2006">{{cite book|author=Ashok Damodar Ranade|title=Hindi Film Song: Music Beyond Boundaries|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZI1wqkWsIjYC&pg=PA390|year=2006|publisher=Bibliophile South Asia|isbn=978-81-85002-64-4|page=390}}</ref> The popularity of that [[ghazal]] had Vinod choose Talat for one more film ''Wafa'' (1950).<ref name="Bharatan2013">{{cite book|author=Raju Bharatan|title=Naushadnama: The Life and Music of Naushad|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mg09BAAAQBAJ&pg=PT95|year=2013|publisher=Hay House, Inc|isbn=978-93-81398-63-0|page=95}}</ref> Playback singers included [[Talat Mahmood]], [[Lata Mangeshkar]], [[Nirmala Devi|Nirmala]] and [[Asha Bhosle]].<ref name=HindiGeetmala>{{cite web|title=Anmol Ratan|url=http://hindigeetmala.net/movie/anmol_ratan.htm|website=hindigeetmala.net|publisher=Hindi Geetmala|access-date=6 August 2015}}</ref>
