| 12 | Drawing on a popular Bangladeshi theatrical |
| 13 | version of the Rupban Kavya fable, the gaudy |
| 14 | production mixes elements from the |
| 15 | devotional, the social and the historical genres |
| 16 | while invoking both the Laila-Majnu and the |
| 17 | medieval Bengali Behula-Lakhindar love |
| 18 | stories. A girl snake charmer cures a Prince |
| 19 | and they fall in love, triggering court intrigues |
| 20 | to forestall a marriage and numerous |
| 21 | adventures delaying the happy ending. The |
| 22 | Prince is represented as a weakling and the |
| 23 | film’s most spectacular sequence shows the |
| 24 | heroine braving impossible odds to support |
| 25 | him. A rare Indo-Bangladeshi co-production |
| 26 | and a megahit, especially with women in rural |
| 27 | areas, in spite of its largely unfamiliar cast, |
| 28 | low budget and consistently over-the-top |
| 29 | performances. |
