What is "surang"

Surang (Tunnel or Mine), also called Dynamite, is a 1953 film directed by V. Shantaram for his Rajkamal Kalamandir. The story and dialogue were by Vinod Kumar with music by Shivram Krishna and lyrics by Shewan Rizwi. The actor Chandrashekhar came into prominence with his role of a miner in the film. The rest of cast included Shashikala, Sheila Ramani, Vinod Kumar, Ulhas and Vikas.

The film was made at a time when Shantaram was producing his social films of "exceptional merit" like Apna Desh (1949), Dahej, Parchhain (1952) and Teen Batti Char Rasta (1953). The film was about the plight of quarry workers, and the roles of Chandrashekhar as the quarry worker and Shashikala as the crazy but astute girl were commended.
