"Bharat Rliiap" Becomes H mythological Classic
Superb Picture Thrills Huge Crowds
With every new picture the shade w of Prakash seems to grow bigger and bigger. With "Narsi Bhagat," they scored a triumph. With "Bharat Milap" they threaten to score a greater triumph.

After all the prosperity of the individual producer contributes considerably to the general welfare of the lilm industry.

Director Vijay Bhatt is now more mature in his art and in "Bharat Milap", he has given us a picture that has become at once popular and superb.
the eldest son of the King through the senior Rani.
Ramchandra is moreover banished to the forests for fourteen years. These two shocking demands were in compliance of two boens given by King Dasharath to Kaikayee.
Bharat, the younger prince, is himself a great devotee of Shri Ramchandra and because he would raise objections, he is cleverly got out of way by his mother at the time of Ramachandra's departure to the forests.
The separatic-n of his beloved son kills King Dasharath. Bharat returns to Ayodhya and is grieved to learn of the tragedy brought upon by his yreedy ambitious mother.
