There was a time when Pakistani Urdu films were ruled by two real brothers. The names of the two brothers who appeared on the screen in the form of their masculine motives and legendary princes were Santosh and Darpan …!
Darpan's film career was not very long but during this time a few of his films had a profound effect on filmgoers, including memorable films like Saheli, Gulfam and Naila. In the previous edition of Pakistan Film Magazine, a very detailed article has been written on Darpan's film career, which need not be repeated here.
By the time Masood Rana entered the film world, Darpan was in decline and most of his films had started failing. In the same year, he married actress Nayyar Sultana, who was the heroine of the most successful film of his film career, Saheli (1960). In a film Dulhan (1963), Nayyar Sultana was paired with Habib in the presence of Darpan as the duo was more successful at the box office.
Darpan was a top film hero during 1959-66. He was introduced in an Urdu film Amanat in 1950 and after only one Punjabi film Bello (1951), he left Pakistan and tried his luck in Mumbai, where he appeared in a few Indian films like Heer, Barati and Adil Jahangir. Came. But he was more interested in non-professional activities there and fell prey to the famous Indian actress Sultana (who played the role of the famous heartbreaker in the classic Indian film Mughal-e- Azam). Before Darpan, she was married to Director SM. Yousuf.
Darpan returned to Lahore a few years later, where the film industry was booming and he acted in his first film Baap Ka Gunah (1957). In the same year, he got success with the famous film Noor-ul-Islam. Saleem Raza's evergreen film Naat Shah Madina. All the prophets of Yathrib, the question of your door was filmed on them in this film. His first super hit film was his own in 1959. His real wife in 1960 was actress Nayyar Sultana and his most famous heroine Shamim Ara was his hero in the last big movie in 1966. He was a supporting actor in the films Saiqa (1968), Side Hero, Ak Gunah aur Sahi (1975) and some other films. He appeared in 67 films, 57 Urdu, 8 Punjabi and 2 Pashto films. His last film was in 1986 in Pashto.
Darpan made some films like Gulfam in 1961 and directed the film Azmat in 1973.
