चंद्रसेना

Chandrasena is V. Shantaram's mythological drama from Prabhat Film Company, a trilingual production released in Hindi and Marathi simultaneously. A remake of Shantaram's own 1931 Marathi film, it tells the story of Chandrasena, a princess whose courage and devotion navigate the conflicts of an ancient court. The film's musical score by Keshavrao Bhole with lyrics by K. Narayan Kale brought Prabhat's characteristic classical-devotional music to a narrative that blended legend with the studio's socially aware approach to mythology. Prabhat's technical refinement made it one of the more polished mythological productions of 1935.

Music by Keshavrao Bhole, lyrics by K. Narayan Kale. Singers included Rajani, Nalini Tarkhud, Sureshbabu Mane and Buwa Saheb. Classical Marathi-Hindustani blend characteristic of Prabhat's style.

One of Indian cinema's early trilingual simultaneous productions (Hindi-Marathi). Prabhat Film Company's mythological cycle established classical music as the bedrock of devotional Indian cinema. Keshavrao Bhole's music direction here continued his formative collaboration with Shantaram.
