Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sandhya was literally married to director V. Shantaram — their creative partnership produced some of Bollywood's most visually audacious films, including the controversial 'taming' arc here.
The film's 'noble savage' portrayal of tribal communities was progressive for 1963 but reads uncomfortably now — Shantaram's humanism always came with paternalism.
