Things aren't easy at the Palace in Jhind. This being the last hope, the fauji Sardar requests him to pretend to be the King for the coronation and until the real King can be found. Now, coincidentally, Gauri looks exactly like Shankar Singh (also played by Uttam Kumar). Shankar Singh has his vices too, but is a kind-hearted person who would care for his citizens and is thus worthy to be king. Udit is a cruel man, unfit to be a good king. Earlier, too, there were two occasions when coronation was arranged, but on both occasions, the King was found missing. He says that the to-be King of Jhind, Shankar Singh, was found missing from the kingdom right before his coronation this is apparently a conspiracy by his own brother Udit Singh, who wants the kingdom for himself. He introduces himself as a 'fauji Sardar' (Chief of the Armed Forces) of Jhind, a small kingdom in Madhya Pradesh.
Sarod maestro Ali Akbar Khan directs the music.Ī person comes to meet Gauri Shankar Roy ( Uttam Kumar), who lives in Kolkata. Soumitra Chatterjee is cast, uncharacteristically, in a villainous role in the film. The book had already been adapted into English-language films in 19, and later, in 1979.
The film was based on a novel of same name ঝিন্দের বন্দী written by Saradindu Bandyopadhyay, though the ending has been totally altered from that in the novel, whose base plot was adapted from the 1894 novel The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope. Jhinder Bondi ( Bengali: ঝিন্দের বন্দী English: Prisoner of Jhind) is a 1961 Indian Bengali-language historical drama film directed by Tapan Sinha, starring Uttam Kumar, Soumitra Chatterjee, Arundhati Devi, Tarun Kumar and Radhamohan Bhattacharya in lead roles.
