GreatGoodWatch scoreSummary
Daku (1955) is a gloriously chaotic, pulp-masala gem from the Wadia Brothers, directed by Babubhai Mistry, the godfather of lo-fi epic fantasy. It stars a young, irrepressible Shammi Kapoor, the fierce and fabulous Shashikala as his heroine, and the ultra-glam Kuldip Kaur as the royal vamp.
