What happens

Ram Rajya (lit. 'Kingdom of Rama') is a 1943 Hindi film, directed by Vijay Bhatt, with Prem Adib and Shobhna Samarth in the lead roles of Rama And Sita. It was the third highest grossing Indian film of 1943. The film gained significance, as for title it used the term Ram Rajya (Rule of Rama), Mahatma Gandhi often used to define democratic-righteous rule during the Indian independence struggle, and it was the only film he, who did not think much of the medium, ever saw. It was the first Indian movie that premiered in the USA. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
