This musical Magnum Opus depicted the trials and triumphs in the life of Raja Harishchandra, who, along with his family, had to suffer through a great deal due to his honesty under all circumstances.
It was deemed inappropriate at the time for a woman to act in a film, so Anna Salunke - a man, was selected to play the role of Rani Taramati.
