Summary: Vinayak changes from his usual melodramas to a period fantasy with this tale of a good general Angar (Chandramohan) who is corrupted by ambition. Echoing Macbeth, the loyal Angar is told by the witch Kuntala (Ashalata) that his king (Bulbule) shall die and that he shall be king instead. Angar then kills the king and seizes power. Departing from Macbeth, Angar’s wife Mangala (Ratnaprabha) and his friend Tarang (Chandrakant) do not approve and they eventually join forces with the people against Angar. The dying Angar is seen crawling towards the throne which lies just beyond his reach. A rare Marathi film by the Hindi actor Chandramohan who seems ill at ease with the language. The big-budget film was a major flop from which Huns Pics never recovered, despite the success of their next production,
Brahmachari (1938).
