Summary: Famed sculptor Hiro Salaat is commissioned by
King Siddharaj to build the fort at Darbhavati
(now called Dabhoi). When he does so, the
king, anxious that he should never surpass this
spectacular achievement, buries the sculptor
alive in one of its walls. The film, claiming to
address the troubled relations between artist
and patron, is remembered for artist and
designer Kanu Desai’s realistic sets e.g. the
replication of the fort in the Mohan Studio.
