What happens

Karma is a 1933 bilingual film starring Devika Rani and Himanshu Rai. The film was directed by J.L. Freer Hunt and was a joint production between India, Germany and United Kingdom. Karma featured a four-minute kissing scene between the lead actors, Devika Rani and Rai, the longest in an Indian film. However, this has been incorrectly reported, the kissing scene features a series of kisses and is less than 2 minutes long. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
