Sudha Rani

FTII Diploma film for acting students of 1964-65 by Ritwik Ghatak

The simple plot has the maharani (Devika Rani) fall in love with the neighbouring prince (Rai) despite her father's disapproval. It is presented as an Orientalist fantasy with a, by Indian standards, scandalously prolonged kiss. It was described as 'a sort of American romance done against an Indian background'.

Dismayed by corruption and violence, a virtuous police officer becomes a masked vigilante to dliver lethal justice to criminals and crooked cops alike.
