Shriman Prithviraj (Bengali:শ্রীমান পৃথ্বীরাজ) is a 1973 Bengali cinema starring Ayan Banerjee and Mahua Roy Choudhury directed by Tarun Majumdar.
[edit] Plot
This is essentially a comedy with Tom Sawyeresque leanings laced elegantly into the ever-transforming 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 boy's 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 free-flowing. It includes a number of beautifully rendered traditional Bengali songs and is punctuated by a series of stand-offs faced by the young boy, mostly with unfavourable results for the oppposing party. At heart, it is a beautiful pre-pubescent/adoloscent love story. It was a huge box-office success when it came out and is an oft-watched movie even today.
