About Savitri
The love story from the 'Mahabharata'. Savitri, a heroine born through divine benediction to Ashwapati, marries Satyavan, the son of an exiled and blinded hermit, although he is scheduled to die soon.
Directed by Franz Osten, Savitri leans on a strong ensemble — Devika Rani, Ashok Kumar, Chandraprabha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1937.
