Probably the first Indian film directed by a woman. It was a big-budget fantasy abounding with special effects set in a Parastan or fairyland.
A silent film adaptation of the popular, yet legendary, tragic romance between Mughal Prince Salim (the future Emperor Jahangir) and the courtesan Anarkali. Their forbidden love incurs Emperor Akbar's wrath, leading to Anarkali's legendary punishment of being walled up alive. This pioneering film is considered lost.
