History
Pre-formation During the 1930s the movies made in Lahore were strongly influenced by those made in Hollywood, not just with respect to their stories or action or drama but also the acting, the makeup and the wardrobe selection. The heroes would appear like Douglas Fairbanks or Errol Flynn. The reason for this is noted to be the fact that Lahore tried to establish its own identity separate from that of the Bombay-based film industry at that time. This in mind, Kardaar and M. Ismael started a studio by the name of United People’s on Ravi Road, Lahore. Actors that worked for the studios included Heera Laal, Gul Hameed, Nazeer and Ahmed Dean while the actresses were mainly Kaushalya Devi, Gulzaar and Mumtaaz. As is deatailed in the studios papers from1929, different film projects that were planned out and surprisingly most had English Titles like; Sweet Heart, The Prisoner, Masked Rider, The Golden Dagger, Passion Flower, The Sacred Flame, House Boat, Golden Temple, The Award, Paradise. There were also others with Urdu Titles such as Lala Rukh, Kafir (Infidel), Khawaja Sira and Firdaus. But not all such projects were completed as not only silent movies were on the brink of extinction but also a very competitive Bombay film industry and Calcutta film industry were already involved in making of many movies with sound. Ultimately Bombay won, when it released its first sound movie in 1931 called Alam Ara. In Lahore the pioneer of making movies with sound, or 'talkies' as they were referred back then was Hakeem Ram Parsaad, who made [Heer Raanjha]] which starred M. Ismael, Rafiq Ghaznavi, Nazeer and actress Anwari. This was to be the last movie directed by Kardaar in Lahore. From here on he moved to Calcutta and later Bombay.
