What happens

Rambaan (transl. Rama's arrow) is a 1948 Indian Hindi-language mythological drama film directed and produced by Vijay Bhatt and written by Mohanlal Dave, with dialogue by Pandit Girish. The film starred Prem Adib as Rama and Shobhana Samarth as Sita, with Chandra Mohan, Umakant, Amirbai Karnataki and Raj Adib in other principal characters. The film's music was composed by Shankar Rao Vyas. Bhatt has produced several films based on themes from the epic Ramayana. Rambaan is the third film in Bhatt's trilogy of films based on Ramayana with Adib as Rama and Samarth as Sita, after Bharat Milap (1942) and Ram Rajya (1943). Samarth and Adib attained popularity with these films that they were featured as Rama and Sita on calendars. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
