What happens
Deccan Queen is a 1936 Hindustani action-adventure film directed by Mehboob Khan. It was the first "stunt" film from Sagar Movietone and the first film for actor Surendra, who was credited as "Surendra Nath B.A., L.L.B.". The film helped launch him as a singing star. This was the only action film directed by Mehboob Khan as he later shifted to films with social and political messages. This was Mehboob Khan's second directorial venture after Al Hilal (1935). He asked Zia Sarhadi, then an unknown small-time actor, to write the screenplay, dialogue and songs for Deccan Queen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
