Dashera

Chaturbhuj Doshi · India

When Kali Dev challenges Dharma Dev that every human can be corrupted by wealth in the age of Kaliyug, an innocent mortal becomes the ultimate battlefield. Enter Seth Shriyal—a deeply pious and honest man loved by his entire town. Determined to win the divine wager, Kali Dev teams up with Shriyal’s jealous neighbor to orchestrate a public disgrace. Starring golden-age legends Nirupa Roy, Shahu Modak, and a stellar ensemble cast, this rare 1956 classic is a sweeping mythological tale of integrity, temptation, and the ultimate test of human righteousness.
