Summary: Shantaram followed
Ayodhyecha Raja (1932)
with this adventure movie about a king
(Bhosle) who is overthrown by the perfidy of
his villainous Commander (Pendharkar) The
young prInce (Vinayak) eventually defeats the
villain, reclaims the throne and restores his
father's honour. Shot on Shantaram's (and set
designer Fattelal's) trademark sets of large
palaces and neoclassical decor, the film has
more sophisticated lighting than its predecessor
but the stodgy, static acting style dominates
despite Vinayak's acrobatic swordplay in his
first important film role. Shantaram returned to
the story for his ambitious
Amritmanthan (1934).
