Karma (1933)
Directed by John Hunt
Overview
The simple plot has the maharani (Devika Rani) fall in love with the neighbouring prince (Rai) despite her father’s disapproval. It is presented as an Orientalist fantasy with a, by Indian standards, scandalously prolonged kiss. It was described as ‘a sort of American romance done against an Indian background’.
