The Imposter Prince
"Ek Je Chhilo Raja" describes this fascinating story of more than two decades, taking us back to that time when a long extended court case in search of truth made the whole nation stare in awe. Based on the famous “Bhowal Sanyasi” case, the film is a subtle take on what happens when Feudal India meets Spiritual India. (150 minutes)
