वासवदत्ता

A historical drama from Ajanta Cinetone drawing on the ancient story of Vasavdatta, the princess of Avanti who became the beloved of Udayan, King of Vatsa. P.Y. Altekar directed P. Jairaj and Bibbo in this adaptation from Buddhist-era romantic legend, bringing the ancient court narrative to the talkie screen with Ajanta's mid-tier production resources.

Music director not documented; the ancient-court setting called for classical-influenced compositions evoking the Indian antiquity of the Vasavdatta legend.

Part of Ajanta Cinetone's historical-drama output in 1934; P. Jairaj and Bibbo's multiple Ajanta co-productions of this year demonstrate the studio's reliance on established pairings.
