The epic, Sikandar ( 1941), directed and produced by Sohrab Modi remains to date one of the most lavishly mounted Hindi films with its sets and battle scenes competing in grandeur and sweep with the best of Hollywood epics like Ben Hur and Ten Commandments, which incidentally followed nearly two decades later. It was the third biggest hit of 1941, and the 20th biggest hit of the 40s. The battle sequences featuring thousands of extras along with horses, elephants, and chariots were filmed in Kolhapur. The story is set in 326 B.C. The film begins after Alexander the Great (Sikander in Hindustani) conquers Persia and the Kabul valley and approaches the Indian border at Jhelum. Alexander was tutored by the great philosopher Aristotle to become a great Philosopher King. In his campaigns in the East against Darius and the tyrannical Persian empire he falls in love and marries the Persian princess Rukhsana (known in the west as Roxana). Sohrab Modi plays the Indian king Puru (Porus to the Greeks). Puru requests neighboring kingdoms to unite against a common foreign enemy. The story goes that when Sikander defeated Porus and imprisoned him, he asked Porus how would he like to be treated. Porus replied: "the same way a king is treated by another king". Sikander was impressed by his answer and set him free. For full detailed film analysis: https://theindiasaga.com/review-corne...
