GOGOLA(1966) was a Indradhanush films production directed by Balawant Dawe. The music was given by a duo of Frank and T.M.Rai.  Mr.TMRai was also the producer of this movie. Frank has given music to one more film Chor Darwaza-1965. Frank might have been an assistant of some well known music director of those times. This duo of Rai-Frank worked in only one movie.

Although Azad worked in this movie,it was not one of those Raja-Rani-Vazir movies,but a different type of B grade movie.Probably it was inspired by KING KONG and such similar Republic Serial movies coming from Hollywood in the late 50s and early 60s. Asha(Tabassum),Kumar(Azad) and friends are terrified seeing a gigantic Sea Monster coming out of the sea,known as GOGOLA,while picnicking on a Bombay beach.They run away to police who do not believe them.

Asha’s father (Nayampally) is a scientist who is indebted to Lachhoo(Habib),due to loans taken to discover medicine for Heart attack.Asha is a club dancer and Lachhoo is after her,hence Kumar and Lachhoo become enemies. Gogola comes to town,kills people and breaks buildings and other structures in Bombay,thereby flooding it.Asha’s father develops a poison for Gogola and Kumar goes to the bottom of sea to inject it to Gogola.Lachhoo tries to kill him in the sea,but Kumar injects Gogola. Before dying,Gogola obliges Kumar by killing Lachhoo. Kumar gets reward from Police and Asha from her father.
