What happens
Kurukshetra is a 1945 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Rameshwar Sharma. Produced Under the banner of Unity Pictures it starred K. L. Saigal as Karna, P. V. Narasimha Bharathi as Krishna, Radharani, Nawab, Shanti, Biman Bannerji and Shamli and had music composed by Ganpatrao. The film was cited as an offbeat film of K. L. Saigal, directed by a relatively unknown director; it's stated to be a "forerunner" to later Art Cinema. It was also the on-screen debut for actor Ajit Khan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
