Muqabala on AllMovie

Action icon Fearless Nadia departs from her usual Zorro-like persona to star in this psychological drama about twins separated at birth -- the pure Madhuri and the debauched Rita. The film opens with a former suitor of the twins' mother stealing Rita in revenge and raising her to be a lounge singer and mobster consort. Madhuri, on the other hand, is raised by Rai Bahadur and brought up as the model of Indian feminine virtue. Eventually, the two cross paths and Madhuri finds herself imitating her errant sister. Later, Madhuri plots to kill the villain responsible for the separate with her sibling by killing him during an on-stage magic routine. This film was reportedly the first to use split screen in India.
