| Notes: Director: Bimal Roy ; The title translates simply as Jew. It is an epic historical drama taking place in ancient Rome, with an underlying theme about persecution of Jews in the Roman Empire. It’s based on the play Yahudi Ki Ladki, which means The Jew’s Daughter, a classic in Parsi-Urdu theatre since the early 20th century. The plot bears similarities to Jacques Fromental Halévy's opera La Juive, first performed in Paris in 1835. The opening scene also look familiar from the silent Ben-Hur movie. |
