Lal Dupatta (transl. "Red Scarf") is a 1948 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by K. B. Lall and produced by Akash Chitra. Starring Madhubala, Rajan Haskar and D. K. Sapru, the film tells the story of Shobha, a headstrong village girl whose romance with a zamindar goes into awry due to some misunderstandings.
Lal Dupatta premiered in theatres on 10 December 1948, and proved to be a commercial and critical success, with critics praising Madhubala's performance and Lall's direction. The success of Lal Dupatta marked a major turning point in the career of Madhubala. The film's print was lost by the studio just after few years of its release, making it a lost film.
