    An entertaining film with unique view of India in the 30s

    It's a little strange film. Savita's father was suspected of murder, which actually his brother committed. The brother is in an airline company (in its very beginning, the 30s!) and he wants the train system (where Savita's father works) to fail. So he tries a lot. Savita goes to prove his innocence. In the way she hits a lot of guys in a circus-like way, fights, runs like a hurricane and that's why she gets the nick "Miss Frontier Mail", the fastest train in India of this time.

    A tad long film, but great view over India of the 30s which has changed a lot.
