Synopsis |
A classic example of the ‘social’ film: movies that challenged the injustices of contemporary Hindu society head on. Here, celebrated director Franz Osten took on the caste system with a tale of forbidden love between a Brahmin boy and an “untouchable” girl for the legendary Bombay Talkies studio. |
