English translation provided.

A gypsy tribal chief's daughter and the prince of the realm fall in love and marry. Tell me, how can that ever not end badly? There are, of course, many other plot twists. The film features a strong heroine (Suraiya) and second female lead (Sumitra Devi), but all the main male actors (except comical court assistant S.N. Banerjee) are laughably bad. Just my opinion.
