Dulari is a 1949 Indian Hindi-language romantic musical film directed by A.R. Kardar. The film stars Madhubala, Geeta Bali and Suresh, and its music was composed by Naushad. Dulari revolved around Prem (Suresh), a rich man who falls in love with the eponymous gypsy girl (Madhubala).[2]

Although not well-received by critics, the film became a major commercial success on its release. It was also continuously shown in theaters for over 35 weeks and subsequently emerged as a silver jubilee hit. The film's success played an important role in the career developments of Madhubala, Bali and Naushad.
