'''''Jhamela''''' (English: Problem) is a [[List of Bollywood films of 1953|1953]] [[Hindi]] comedy thriller film produced and directed by [[Bhagwan (actor)|Bhagwan]], for his Bhagwan Art Productions.<ref name=gomolo>{{cite web |title=Jhamela |url=http://www.gomolo.com/jhamela-movie/2351 |website=gomolo.com |publisher=Gomolo |accessdate=31 July 2015}}</ref> The film was a repeat formula Bhagwan had earlier used in his commercially successful film ''[[Albela (1951 film)|Albela]]'' (1951).<ref name="IP">{{cite book |title=India Perspectives |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QKqyAAAAIAAJ |accessdate=30 July 2015 |year=2002 |publisher=Produced by PTI for the Ministry of External Affairs |page=19}}</ref> ''Albela'' with its "rumba-samba beats" in the composition of music director [[C. Ramchandra]]'s songs, its comedy, and melodramatic story, had turned out to be an "all-time hit". With music again composed by C. Ramachandra, and casting actress Geeta Bali, Bhagwan tried to recreate the magic of Albela with little success.<ref name="Narwekar2012">{{cite book |author=Sanjit Narwekar |title=Eena Meena Deeka: The Story of Hindi Film Comedy |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KbSbAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT186 |accessdate=30 July 2015 |date=12 December 2012 |publisher=Rupa Publications |isbn=978-81-291-2625-2 |pages=165– |chapter=The Image Manipulators}}</ref> The film was termed a "semi-hit" at the box-office.

The music was composed by [[C. Ramchandra]], who had previously given hit music for ''Albela'' (1951). According to C. Ramchandra, his inspiration for the "unique beat" for ''Albela'' (1951) and ''Jhamela'' (1953), came from the "funeral dance music he heard in Madras".<ref name="IndianCinema">{{cite book |title=Indian Cinema |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zHF1AAAAIAAJ |accessdate=30 July 2015 |year=1991 |publisher=Directorate of Film Festivals, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting |page=5}}</ref> One of the popular song was "Dekho Ji Dekho Mera Dil Le Ke" sung by [[Lata Mangeshkar]].<ref name="Bharatan1995">{{cite book |author=Raju Bharatan |title=Lata Mangeshkar: A Biography |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RaafAAAAMAAJ |accessdate=30 July 2015 |date=1 January 1995 |publisher=UBS Publishers' Distributors |isbn=978-81-7476-023-4}}</ref> [[Rajendra Krishan]] wrote the lyrics for the film.
