All three are now for Jayant to command, but he is given one note of caution: the kamandal and the arm rest depend upon each other. In return, the (now all glittering and overdressed) character bestows on Jayant three gifts: a flying carpet a kamandal which can give you anything to eat or drink, in as much quantity as you wish and an arm rest which can beat up anybody (to whichever extent) all on its own. Jayant does so, and (at the risk of losing his life) saves a bearded, bedraggled character who has been trapped there for eons. When Jayant tries to defy them, Khatpat offers a compromise: trek up to a mountain cave nearby and find out what’s causing all the din that emanates from there. These three scoundrels have blocked the road and demand money from wayfarers.
A fugitive now, Jayant soon comes up against a trio of unscrupulous and somewhat comical ruffians: Khatpat (Radhakrishna), Chatpat (Agha) and Sarpat (Mukri). The guru is furious, and immediately heads for the court to confront Jayant’s father (Bipin Gupta) and dare him to punish his own wayward son.įortunately for Jayant, he has a loyal friend who helps him escape before any action can be taken. She raises a hue and cry and accuses Jayant in front of her father (Niranjan Sharma) and the rest of the gurukul. … at which the daughter flies into a rage and proves that she isn’t quite as upright and good as Jayant. Jayant, being a good and upright man who knows his guru’s daughter is out of bounds for him, sternly refuses… At the prospect of Jayant’s departure, his guru’s daughter (?) gets all het up and confesses her love for him. The story begins in a gurukul, where Prince Jayant of Malwa (Akkineni Nageshwara Rao, ‘ANR’) is about to graduate and go back to Malwa to be declared crown prince. A stellar song, but also a very entertaining film. Suvarna Sundari, which I watched for Kuhu kuhu bole koyaliya, will however remain one of the exceptions. I go on doing it, often with painful results. Many of these films have turned out to be complete duds, not at all worthy of the wonderful song which drew me to it-but I do not, in this case, subscribe to the ‘once burnt, twice shy’ philosophy. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I cannot resist good music so much so that there are plenty of films I’ve watched just because they happened to have one song which I like a lot.
