Indian fantasy film 1952
Shin Shinaki Boobla Boo is a 1952 Indian fantasy film directed by P.L. Santoshi, starring Sadhona Bose and Ranjan. The plot follows Shin Shinaki as she seeks revenge for her parents' murder, aided by her bandit lover, Boobla Boo. The film is known for its experimental music by C. Ramchandra and a unique controversy where the government overruled the censor board to ban it for a "low moral tone" before the ban was eventually lifted.
Director: P.L. Santoshi Plot: The story is about a woman named Shin Shinaki who vows revenge after her parents are murdered. She teams up with her bandit lover, Boobla Boo, to find and kill the murderer.
Music: The film's music was composed by C. Ramchandra and features experiments with jazz and Latin American rhythms.
Controversy: Shin Shinaki Boobla Boo was one of the first films whose release was challenged by the central government, which deemed it to be of "low moral tone". The government's decision to overrule the censor board led to its box office failure.
Commercial failure: While the producers successfully appealed the ban, the delay in the film's release significantly hurt its commercial prospects. The commercial failure also marked a sharp decline in lead actress Rehana's career.
