Synopsis A classic early talkie showing the rocky path of a humble poet in the seventeenth century village of Dehu to sainthood and how he sparked the first movement against caste domination. Vishnupant Pagnis stars as the titular saint, who faces a series of tests before divine intervention, and a heavenly chariot, arrive on the scene. But it’s Gauri (a cleaner at the Prabhat Film Company) who steals the show as his earth-bound wife.
