In Rural Maharashtra

1940

Happy farmers, a wedding and some giant cauliflowers… Described as "the land of smiling people," rural Maharashtra in west India is the setting of this film. In this quaint look at country life, the roles of the smiling farmer and his wife are clearly played by professional actors in a style reminiscent of Indian films of the time. They frequently looks as if they are about to burst into song.

The film was produced by the Prabhat Film Comany — then one of India's leading feature film production companies — for the Films Division of the Government of India.
