  After Prince Sohan contrives a hunting accident for his rival Prince Ranjit so that he might inherit his lands Ranjit foils his ploy by remaining alive thanks to the intervention of a nearby medicine man. Falling in love with his daughter Sunita only inflames Sohan's jealousy further and on the eve of Ranjit's wedding Sohan presents him with his gift of some exquisitely tooled dice and suggests a game while thinking of revenge. Ranjit cannot resist. Based on the pivotal gambling episode from the Mahabharata this is a classic Indian silent film from the German director Franz Osten with a new score by Nitin Sawhney.
