Amar Jyoti

V. Shantaram directs this action-packed adventure film with an unusual feminist twist. Chafing under the heavy-handed oppression of women by the traditionalist seaside kingdom ruled by the minister justice Durjaya (Chandramohan) — who forced her to give up her son years ago — Saudamini (Durga Khote) becomes a pirate and declares war on the state. She raids a royal ship and kidnaps Durjaya along with the princess Nandini (Shanta Apte). While captive, Durjaya declares his love for the princess, but she has eyes for a strapping young shepherd, who — it turns out — is the long lost son of Saudamini.
