Baghi (1956)

The story revolves around an Indian freedom fighter (Sudhir), who takes up arms against the oppressive colonial rulers after being locked away for 10 years, and separated from his sister. After lots of action-packed sequences and the search for a lost sister, he eventually suffers the consequences of taking matters into his own hands. While some have said that the film was inspired by the Hollywood film Apache (1954) starring Burt Lancaster, the title role was based on Akbar Khan, the Afghan warrior who threw out British forces from Afghanistan in the 1840s.
