Gunga Din (1939)
3/10
Barely watchable
30 August 2006
The movie is totally over rated. The plot is not authentic. White actors with faces grease painted black playing Indian characters, poorly Pretty lame. The Thugs mostly operated in central India not in Khyber Pass. They were small roving bands of criminals not a military force with canons. Scenes of Kali worship in a temple are utterly ridiculous. Historically the movie is totally inaccurate. British Indian army did not fight any full scale wars with the Thugs. They were picked up one by one and hanged.

I can go on.

There are much nicer 1939 movies that you could watch.

Thanks.
