Cast
Review
The Filmindia editor, Baburao Patel, not known to have an amiable relationship with Modi, normally panned his films. However, for Bharosa, as cited by Amrit Gangar in his book, Patel's review carried the headline "Sohrab Modi Directs His First Good Picture" going to the extent of claiming that Bharosa was a better picture than Modi's Pukar.
Soundtrack
The music director was G. P. Kapoor with lyrics by Lalchand Bismil. The singers were Khan Mastana, Menka, Sheela, Paresh Bannerji and Sardar Akhtar.
