Gora Aur Kala

The Emperor of a distant Kingdom in India is overjoyed when his wife gives birth to twin sons. Before he could announce his joy openly, his enemies, Zoravar and Shamsher, take over the castle, killing him instantly. His loyal employees, Prithvi and Dilawar, escape with the children - one son ends up with a blood disorder that discolors his skin and leaves his left arm paralyzed, and is left with a dacoit. The other son is brought up by Army Chief Prithvi Singh, while the empress herself is held captive. Years later, the sons have grown up, the one with the dacoits is called kaali Singh, while the other is called Karan. The twins come to know of each other's existence, they reunite, and free their mother. But there is one thing that divides the twin - the beautiful Princess Anuradha.

Directed by Naresh Kumar, Gora Aur Kala leans on a strong ensemble — Rajendra Kumar, Hema Malini, Rekha — 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 drama titles of 1972.
