Susral (1962 film) is a Pakistani black and white social film, directed by Riaz Shahid in his directorial debut, who also wrote the screenplay based on a story from his own novel "Hazar Dastaan".

Music was composed by Hassan Latif with lyrics by Tanvir Naqvi and Munir Niazi.[1] It deals with common man problems such as physical disabilities and social injustice. It ranks among the few realistic films of the Lollywood from the 1960s. From the Golden Age of Pakistani cinema, this film was what now is called as an art film. It failed at the box office.[2][3]

This film marked the debut for Mehdi Hassan as a solo playback singer, as he performed the song "Jis ne mere dil ko dard diya".[4]

On 9 March 2019, it was screened by ‘Mandawa Club’ of Lok Virsa Museum in Pakistan.[1]
