"Theatre of Cringe"
Don't misunderstand me. This is not a "good" movie for most of the measure of "good", but if you like cringe (like I do!) you'll like this movie.Here's yer litmus test: shortly after the film begins, Gunga the mahout and his friend Akbar bring a calf elephant to the Maharajah, and instead of getting angry, the Maarajah rewards Gunga and Akbar by giving them a sweetmeat he got while in Bombay. He also gives the elephant a sweetmeat, which means he treats his animal as well as he treats his servants.If yer response to the above is "THIS i've got to see!" then this movie is for you, and the scene in question is about 9 minutes in.

Worst Movie Ever!!
This is the worst movie ever! Watch toward the end when they pick up this guy to sacrifice him and in the process, he kicks the priestess of Sabaka in the boobs! They didn't edit it out... but then again, if they were going to edit out every bad scene, the movie would only consist of the credits.

Very Poor.
This picture is a total waste of time. The acting was atrocious, the direction was abysmal, and the photography looked like a home movie gone bad.
