From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarfarosh, also called Brave Hearts, was a 1930 Indian silent film directed by A. R. Kardar.[1] Made as an action adventure film based on the RKO dramas, it was produced by Kardar's production company, "Playart Phototone".[2] According to Hameeduddin Mahmood, the films had double titles up until the mid-1930s; the Hindi/Urdu name for the home market (India), and the English name for the overseas market.[3] Kardar gave up acting after having starred in Husn Ka Daku (1929) and cast Gul Hamid in the main role. He also gave Rafiq Ghaznavi a break as an actor in the film. Ghaznavi went on to become a famous music director.[4]
