Thokar also called The Kick is a 1939 Indian Hindi-Urdu film directed by A. R. Kardar. Produced by Chandulal Shah for his production banner Ranjit Movietone, it has music by Gyan Dutt.[1] The story writer was M. Sadiq, with cinematography by Gordhanbhi Patel.[2] The cast included Kumar, Ishwarlal, Madhuri, Yakub, Noor Mohammed Charlie, Ram Marathe, Waheedan Bai and Dixit.[3] The story involves a blind villager winning a lottery but he eventually realises that money can not bring happiness.[4]
Thokar is cited as one of the "most interesting" films made by Kardar for Ranjit Movietone. The other was Pagal (1940).[5] Baburao Patel, editor of the film magazine Filmindia, called it one of the "good social pictures" and "the best" from Chandulal Shah.[6]
