'Prisoner of Zenda' Adaptation - Bollywood Style

I don't remember much of the movie, considering that I saw it about 30 years ago on TV as a kid. When I read 'Prisoner of Zenda' later, I realized that the movie was an adaptation of this. At that time, it seemed much more action-packed than the usual weepy stuff on Doordarshan. A precursor to the 'masala' action movies that were to become staple fare for Bollywood in the 70s and 80s, this movie is quite well done, even without any big names in the crew. As is common with Indian adaptations, this is not a faithful adaptation of the book or the Ronald Colman classic. Shashi Kapoor carries of his double-role, and one of his characters has a distinctly negative shade, unlike in the book. All in all, fairly entertaining stuff, and a bit of a nostalgia trip for those who remember the pre-Sholay days of Bollywood.
