Cast
What it is about
Sarphira is a Bollywood feature released in 1992 and directed by Ashok Gaikwad. Judging by its cast, which includes lawyers, police officers and a judge, it appears to be a story with courtroom and police elements, with a family at its centre. Sanjay Dutt, Madhavi, Kimi Katkar, Kiran Juneja and Sumeet Saigal lead the cast, alongside Vinod Mehra, Shreeram Lagoo and Anupam Kher.
How it was made
The Hindi-language film featured music by R. D. Burman, a composer with a long career in Indian cinema, and lyrics by Farooq Kaiser. The cast brings together well-known performers of popular cinema of the period, including Shakti Kapoor and Ashok Saraf in supporting roles. The sources consulted offer little detail about the screenplay and the shoot.
Reception and legacy
There is little verifiable information about its critical reception, awards or later influence, so it is hard to place the film precisely in the history of Indian cinema. Its main interest for enthusiasts lies in its cast and in the figure of its composer.
