Shirin

Successful stunt movie featuring a vivacious prince (Jayant), his evil uncle, and a masked girl (Akhtar). Its major attractions, apart from Akhtar who also sings all the songs, is a performing gorilla. Together with e.g. Leatherface (1939), this is the best known of mythological specialist Bhatt’s early stunt work.

In this stunt-film, Hero Samar (Jairaj) singlehandedly takes on the might of the oppressive state led by the warlord chief (M. Zahoor). He falls in love with the chief's sister Ila (Mehtab) and fights his revolution from the tavern of Dulari (Shirin) with little more than a band of adventurers, a leatherface mask, his faithful dog Tiger, and his horse Bahadur.

Queen Gulab is enraged when the throne bypasses her son for young Prince Kirit. Kirit is kidnapped during an outing with his bodyguard, Captain Dilip. Though Dilip is arrested, Ram and Rahim rescue the prince. The Queen persists in her schemes, even as a mysterious masked man repeatedly intervenes. She plots against the Minister, unaware that Princess Asha, Kala, Tiger, Bahadur, and Tommy are dedicated to protecting Kirit.

An early fantasy film produced and directed by Vijay Bhatt for Prakash Pictures
