Fearing for Sikander's life she extracts a promise from Porus that he will not harm Sikander. In the battle with the Macedonian army Porus loses his son and is captured. An elaborate verbal duel follows in court when Porus is brought before Sikander. Impressed by Porus's valor, the two kings become friends. Sikander lets Porus go and withdraws from the Jhelum.

[quote]The release of the film coincided with World War II and the quest for Swaraj or Quit India at its peak. In India the political atmosphere was tense, following Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's call to civil disobedience. Sikander further aroused patriotic feelings and nationalistic sentiment. Thus though Sikander was approved by the Bombay censor board, it was later banned from some of the theaters serving British Indian Army cantonments. However its appeal to nationalism was so great and direct, it remained popular for years. It was revived in Delhi in 1961 during the Indian march into Goa.[/quote]













No sé el interés que generará esta película. La calidad de la copia es regularcilla, sin subtítulos y con una pesada marca de agua (de marcar ganado, parece)... En fin, para goce y disfrute de los que nos adentramos en el cine de otras latitudes.
Por cierto, os deseo un buen año a todos/as. Y dedico el lanzamiento al compañero SIKANDER.
