Champraj Hado (1923)

Suspenseful and scintillating, this romantic drama follows the fluctuating fortunes in the life of Champraj, the King of Bundi, whose wife Sone, is a woman of extraordinary beauty and character. The King is deeply in love with his wife and is unable to stop himself from boasting in the court of the Maharaja Karansingh of his wife Sone's purity and fidelity. The villainous Sher Singh claims to prove otherwise and, through trickery, appropriates a dagger and a handkerchief, which Sone had said she would remember her husband by in his absence. Champraj, who stakes his life on his wife's fidelity, is about to be be-headed when Sone herself, dressed as a dancing-girl, risks everything to expose the truth. Will Champraj's complete faith in Sone devotion to him be upheld?
