| | 12 | Gujarati musical allegory about politics. The |
| | 13 | middle-class scientist Hunshilal (Joshi), mainly |
| | 14 | through the actions of his scientist-girlfriend |
| | 15 | Parveen (Shahane), is pitted against a despotic |
| | 16 | politician, King Bhadrabhoop II of Khojpuri |
| | 17 | (Gokhale) whose subjects are bitten by a |
| | 18 | mysterious breed of mosquitoes and become |
| | 19 | restless. Hunshilal is employed by the Queen’s |
| | 20 | Laboratory to eradicate the mosquitoes but he |
| | 21 | defects, with Parveen, to the side of the bugs. |
| | 22 | He is caught and brainwashed but Parveen |
| | 23 | escapes the kingdom and sets out for the land |
| | 24 | of the mosquitoes beyond the Black Hills. The |
| | 25 | rulers are portrayed as indolent oppressors |
| | 26 | who spend their time playing with toy guns |
| | 27 | and toy trains. The film’s somewhat forced |
| | 28 | effort to assimilate a postmodern aesthetic is |
| | 29 | mainly evidenced in an unprecedentedly large |
| | 30 | number of songs cut into an already |
| | 31 | overcrowded soundtrack. |
