The first Indian film to have been made in colour, (though not indigenously since it was processed and printed in Babelsburg, Germany using the Agfacolor process), ‘Sairandhri’ is a remake of Baburao Painter’s silent classic from 1920, of the same name. It is a dramatisation of an episode of the Mahabharat: the act of disrobing of Draupadi in the court of the Kauravas, leading to the humiliation of the Pandavas.
