Chandidas (1934 film)

Chandidas is a 1934 Hindi social drama film directed by Nitin Bose. The film was produced by New Theatres, Calcutta, and became the studio's first major success. It was a remake of the 1932 Bengali film of the same name directed by Debaki Bose. This 1934 Hindi version starred K. L. Saigal, Uma Sashi, Pahari Sanyal, Nawab and H. Siddiqui. The music was composed by R. C. Boral, with the lyrics written by Agha Hashar Kashmiri. The film's credit roll states that the film is "Based on the life problems of the poet Chandidas –A problem India has not been able to solve", which involved the caste schism in India. The story revolves around the 15th-century poet-saint Chandidas, who stands up against the deep-rooted bigotry against caste, untouchability, and the hypocrisy of society, and a washerwoman with whom he falls in love.
