Diamond Queen
Plot
The film is set in Diamond Town where Madhurika returns following five years of studies in Bombay. She is the Bambaiwali the townspeople have been waiting to see. She returns to her town wearing western clothes and looking fit and to her father's query she replies that she's been working out in the Bombay gymnasiums. The town is reeling under the brutal atrocities of the mustachioed bushy eye-browed villain, Kedarnath (Sayani Atish) who has usurped the Prince's place while he is away. Kedarnath had been given charge by authorities to weed out corruption but is instead heavily into corruption, taxing people and outrages against women. He also has an enemy in the dacoit Diler as he cheated Diler's father many years ago. Diler was the sole survivor in his family when Kedarnath burnt his family home. He had been given a dying oath by his father to take revenge against Kedarnath. Madhurika joins up with the dacoit Diler and manages to deliver the town from the evil Kedarnath. She advocates for women's literacy and independence and uses dialogues like: 'If the nation is to be freed, the women have to be free first.'Cast

Production
The film dealt with women's emancipation and showed Nadia minus her mask and whip.[4] Although based on the Pearl White character of "Perils of Pauline", especially in Hunterwali,[5] similarities were reduced in Diamond Queen. The films made under Wadia Movietone by Homi Wadia and starring Nadia had several commonalities like her hero John Cawas and Boman Shroff, a horse called Punjab ka Beta (Son of Punjab), an Austin car and a dog called Gunboat.[6]During the filming, Nadia did most of her stunts herself. According to one report B. K. Karanjia visited her on the sets of Diamond Queen and found her doing all her stunts, and enjoying herself in the process.[6]
Reception
The film was a considerable success at the box office and also garnered critical acclaim. The Filmindia editorial by Baburao Patel in 1940 called it "a thought-provoking film that enlightens as it entertains".[3]References
