Mayurpankh

Famous British author Joan Davis goes to India with her boyfriend and encounters Ranjit Singh, a game hunter, in the jungles of India. They fall in love but Joan discovers that Ranjit is married. They meet again in Jaipur at Ranjit's palace, during Ranjit's sister's wedding and Joan meets his wife Shanti. They immediately start liking each other. Ranjit's father is a mining baron and Joan's boyfriend a mining engineer. Both of them strike a deal and Ranjit has to go to England with them. Ranjit's heart wavers and he is undecided as to which love to follow, but he eventually decides.

Directed by Kishore Sahu, Mayurpankh leans on a strong ensemble — Kishore Sahu, Sumitra Devi, Odette Ferguson — 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 romance titles of 1954.
