A historical romance set in the Mughal Empire. Selima (Enakshi) is a princess-foundling raised by a potter and loved by her brother, Shiraz (Rai). She is abducted and sold as a slave to Prince Khurram, later Emperor Shah Jehan (Roy), who falls for her, to the chagrin of the wily Dalia (Seeta Devi). When Selima is caught with Shiraz, the young man is condemned to be trampled to death by an elephant. A pendant reveals Selima's royal status and she saves her brother, marries the prince and becomes Empress Mumtaz Mahal while Dalia is banned for her machinations against Selima. When Selima dies (1629), the emperor builds her a monument to the design of the now old and blind Shiraz, the Taj Mahal. The film contains a number of passionate kissing scenes.

| GuardianPeter BradshawThe crowd scenes and the location work in this film are a real marvel, and there is great tenderness to its final act. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan[A] gorgeous silent extravaganza, a landmark of Indian cinema. |
| User ReviewJoel AOne of the last great silent films from India that despite British control this is very Indian for all the right reasons. The story of a princess who is saved from bandits & by a local townsman whose son falls in love with her. Sadly she is taken by bandits & ends up in a castle with a prince who she falls in love with. The son never gives up & for 18 years does all he can to see her but sadly she dies & he begins to grow blind & takes refuge in make models. He makes the model for an amazing building that ends up being the Taj Mahal. It's an impressive film that is great to watch and thoroughly entertaining. |
