What happens
Pukar is a 1939 Indian film produced and directed by Sohrab Modi at the Bombay-based production house Minerva Movietone. The film is about Mughal emperor Jehangir's legendary justice and his inner conflict when his wife kills an innocent citizen by mistake. It is a typical Sohrab Modi production (which always seemed to be historical) with heavy and lengthy Urdu dialogues said in a loud and dramatic style. Story and lyrics are by Kamal Amrohi. Pukar is considered to be the earliest Muslim social film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
