User Reviews

The Sohrab Modi epic

Another remarkable movie produced & directed by Sohrab Modi which is based on the same name novel of noted Freedom Fighter/Politician/Lawyer/Writer/Litterateur from Gujrat, Late K.M.Munshi.

Guys.... I am in awe of Sohrab Modi's distinctive voice and the way he used to deliver dialogues.
