Wow, is this a fascinating movie. Made in 1979 as Uzbek/Indian co-production, it covers classic Bollywood elements (well-done song&dance numbers, elephants, family relations) as well as Soviet themes (the chief robber doubling as Vezir, the plight for water - not as a priced commodity, etc.) In fact, the topic of water runs throughout this film - from drops in a bottle to destruction and reconstruction of a vital dam. (Not to forget the waterfall in front of the cave...) In addition, you get heroic fathers and mothers, really eerie villains, and all in all a jolly good yarn.
Praise be again to German magazine SuperIllu, which came with this film as gimmick yesterday. Highly recommended. And the songs are of course in Hindi :)
