        A Thoroughly enjoyable movie, with good acting, music and dances

        For a movie to be made in 1948,this is technically a very fine movie. Has an interesting story line, in which two prince brothers (played excellently by M.K.Raddha and Ranjan) vie with each other for the throne as well as the beautiful village dancer girl Chandaralekha, played beautifully be T.R.Rajakumari. Finally it the goodness that wins over the badness. The final sword duel between the two brothers reminds one of many such duels in Hollywood movies,of course with Indian flavor. Another interesting attraction is the circus show which becomes an important part of the story. For the first time a circus with all its feats has been brought into a movie. Comedy show by the husband and and wife pair of N.S.Krishnan and T.A.Madhuram is enjoyable.
