| Overview (TMDB): | This lighthearted romp through Royal India presents a world of Maharajas, palaces, imperiled art objects, and the foreign collectors who will stop at nothing to possess them. Peggy Ashcroft and Larry Pine star as two rapacious art collectors who come to the decaying Art Deco palace of a young Maharaja (Victor Banerjee) to examine a legendary collection of Indian miniature paintings. While vying with each other to get the pictures away from the royal couple—nicknamed Georgie and Bonnie as children by their Scottish governess—they must also divine the true motives of the Indian curator of the collection (Saeed Jaffrey), who, in league with the Maharaja’s beautiful sister (Aparna Sen), may be working against them. Amidst the backdrop of lavish tourist entertainments, Christmas parties, fireworks, and even an English ghost, a desperate game of palace intrigue will determine the ultimate resting place of the priceless paintings. |

Aparna Sen, who plays Bonnie, a beautiful Indian princess, smokes sensuously throughout the film. Frequently using a holder, she executes thick, milky snaps; long, streamy, lip-pursing exhalations; and one scene in which she exhales her smoke in a gentle, staccato manner when flirting. Her performance is all the more impressive when one realizes that the film was made back when it was almost unheard of to see a South Asian actress smoke on-screen |
