Shriman Prithviraj

Shriman Prithviraj Bengali EnglishMr.Prithviraj is a 1972 Indian Bengali romantic comedy film starring Ayan Banerjee and Mahua Roy Choudhury, and directed by Tarun Majumdar, featuring teenage love. It has a cult following.

This is essentially a comedy with Tom Sawyeresque leanings laced elegantly into the fabric of Bengal of the late 19th or early 20th century. In the subtle backdrop of the Indian freedom movement, it is the story of the transformation of a young boys innocent but naughty childhood to an appreciation of the Swadeshi movement and the growth of adolescent love for a girl even younger than him. The comedy is exceedingly natural and freeflowing. It includes a number of beautifully rendered traditional Bengali songs and is punctuated by a series of standoffs faced by the young boy, mostly with unfavourable results for the opposing party. At heart, it is a beautiful prepubescentadolescent love story. It was a huge boxoffice success when it came out and is an oftwatched movie even today.
