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