Synopsis

The story begins when a special envoy approaches a powerful Sikh Maharaja with a desperate plea. Shah Shuja of Afghanistan has been captured by his enemies, and his wife, the queen Wafa Begum, has escaped and seeks the Maharaja's help.

To save her husband, she makes an extraordinary offer: the "most precious gem in the world," the Kohinoor diamond, in exchange for the Maharaja's military aid. The Maharaja, known for his kindness and strong army, agrees and successfully frees Shah Shuja.

However, once the rescue is complete, the queen confesses that she lied in her desperation and that the Kohinoor was pawned long ago. Faced with this deceit, the Maharaja chooses a path of cunning over conflict.

He invites the rescued Shah Shuja to solidify their new friendship and become his sworn brother through a traditional ceremony—an exchange of the turbans on their heads. This simple act of brotherhood becomes a tense battle of wits, as one man's honor is tested against another's hidden secret.

Will the lie prevail, or will the truth be revealed from where it's least expected? Watch the film to see how strategy and intelligence lead to the rightful return of the Kohinoor to the "most generous and brave Maharaja in the world".
