Heer Ranjha is a 1932 Punjabi feature film, the first directed by A.R. Kardar,[1] starring Anwari Begum and Rafiq Ghaznavi in the title roles. Based on the love story of Heer Ranjha and writings of the 18th-century poet Waris Shah, the film was initially titled as Hoor-e-Punjab, but Kardar changed it to Heer Ranjha. Rafiq Ghaznavi also composed the music for the film.[citation needed]

Production[]

Heer Ranjha was the first talkie film to be created in Punjab; it was produced by Hakim Ram Prasad and the Playart Photophone Company (formerly known as United Players Corporation, founded by Kardar).[2] The film was censored by the Punjab Board.[3]
