Mohabbat Ki Kasauti also called Rooplekha in Bengali was a 1934 Indian "semi-historical" bilingual film in Hindi and Bengali, directed by P. C. Barua for New Theatres.[1] Though Barua is consistently mentioned as director,[2][3] according to author J. K. Bajaj, Debaki Bose directed Rooplekha in 1934.[4] It had music by R. C. Boral and the cast included Rattanbai, K. L. Saigal, Pahadi Sanyal, Noor Mohammed Charlie and Vishwanath.[5] Jamuna started her career with a small role in the Hindi version.[6]
The film had Saigal playing the role of Akbar according to Pran Nevile,[7] but it has also been cited as a film based on a Buddhist fable.[8] The film was one of the first Indian Talkies to use the concept of flashback technique in the narrative.[9]
