1936 Directed by Keshavrao Dhaiber

About Rajput Ramani

In a medieval Rajput court, the warrior Mansingh is hated even by his own people. He says Taramati has offended him and tells her father that only a marriage, on terms that insult her, will settle it. He jails large numbers of people, including her father. The father leads a revolt from prison and is ready to kill his son-in-law. Taramati's choice to protect Mansingh stops the fight. Nanasaheb Phatak plays Mansingh. Nalini Tarkhad plays Taramati.
