GOPAL KRISHNA (1938) was produced under the banner of Prabhat Film Company both in Hindi and Marathi versions. The film was directed by V G Damle and S Fatelal. The star cast included Ram Marathe, Shanta Apte, Parshuram, Ganpatrao Tambat etc. I have not seen the full movie but based on a few short clips of the films including the video clips of the songs that are available on the internet, it is a mythological film with a subtle message of nationalism against the British rule in India. The conflict between Gokul villagers on the one hand and King Kansa on the other side was compared with that of Indians and the British rule. Some of the dialogues of Krishna were full of nationalist fervour. For instance, he says to Nand that if we continued the live under the fear of King Kansa, none of our work would be successful. In some other context, Krishna says that the King and his men have been blinded by an authority of absolute power and when Kans’s men drag our cows like dogs and keep with them without proper food, such ruler and his men need to be mauled.
