Authentic, colourful feature film version of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s classic, 1939 dance musical with an ensemble cast featuring leading dancers, singers and musicians from Tagore’s home town of Santiniketan, India. Perhaps best described as a cross between opera and ballet.

Synopsis: Shyama, a court dancer, falls in love with a foreign merchant who is falsely imprisoned and faces execution ... unless Shyama accepts her admirer’s offer to take the merchant’s place.
