Considered a classic Indian film, Amrut Manthan depicts Chandika cult followers who meet in a dungeon. King Krantivarma (Varde) had banned human and animal sacrifices from what he perceived as increasingly fanatical festivals dedicated to the goddess. As a reaction to this, the cult's high priest (Chandra Mohan) orders the unfortunate Vishwagupta (Kelkar) to kill the king. He obeys, but is then betrayed by the priest and caught. His son Madhavgupta (Mane) and his daughter Sumitra (Apte) join forces with the princess (Nalini Tarkhad), and the people finally overthrow the priest.
