| 14 | Neo-traditionalist melodrama pivoting on the |
| 15 | relationship between sisters-in-law, but also |
| 16 | including brotherly and parental relations. |
| 17 | Poonam (Neelu), with the financial help of her |
| 18 | Muslim friend Rasool, marries Vijay (Dheraj) |
| 19 | despite the evil machinations of her rejected |
| 20 | suitor Rocky. When Vijay goes to look for work |
| 21 | in the city, Vijay’s sister, manipulated by the |
| 22 | villainous Rocky, persecutes the heroine. The |
| 23 | familiar theme (esp. in Gujarati cinema: cf. |
| 24 | Punatar’s bilingual of the same title, 1948) |
| 25 | confirmed Rajasthani star Neelu’s image of |
| 26 | ‘goodness’ in family melodramas (cf. Supattar |
| 27 | Binani, 1981, and Bai Chali Sasariye, 1988). |
| 28 | Made with mainly Bombay film actors and |
| 29 | modelled on Hindi cinema except for some |
| 30 | narrative emphases such as the approach to the |
| 31 | dowry problem: in Hindi films, dowries are |
| 32 | increasingly seen as anti-modern and assigned |
| 33 | to oppressive feudalism, whereas it is a more |
| 34 | urgent issue in Rajasthan. |
