Overview
Kardar’s ultra-conservative ode to patriarchy tells of Binod (Jairaj) and Indira (Sitara Devi) who were married as children and never meet as adults. Indira grows into a ‘modern’ young woman while Binod, disinherited when his stepfather has a son, works in a distant village. Indira haughtily refuses a relationship with a pauper but she eventually realises her duties to her husband and goes to meet him disguised as Shanta, a beggar woman. Binod then falls in love with her, not realising she is in fact his wife.

Primary
The film's dominant themes align with traditional social values, emphasizing marital devotion and duty within a marriage, which are generally associated with conservative viewpoints.
The movie, an Indian social drama from 1941, features a cast appropriate to its cultural setting, which does not involve the recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative frames traditional identities without explicit critique, consistent with its historical and cultural context.
Secondary
Given the film's title 'Swami' (a Hindu spiritual teacher) and its origin in 1940s Indian cinema, the narrative likely explores and affirms themes of Hindu devotion, spiritual wisdom, and the virtues associated with its practices. The film is expected to uphold the dignity and positive aspects of the faith, possibly through a protagonist's journey or a central figure's teachings.
