Dharmatma (The Holy Soul) is a 1935 Indian social devotional biopic directed by V. Shantaram. The film was a bilingual made in Marathi and Hindi. This was the only devotional film directed by Shantaram, though he had made several mythological films.[1] The story and screenplay were by K. Narayan Kale and the music was composed by Master Krishnarao.[2] The cast included Bal Gandharva in his debut role and Chandra Mohan as the villain,[3] with Master Chhotu, K. Narayan Kale, Ratnaprabha, Vasanti and Hari Pandit.[4]
The film is about the "legendary" Marathi religious poet and scholar Sant Eknath (1533–99),[5] author of a variation of the Bhagavata Purana called Eknathi Bhagvata, numerous abhangs and the bharuda form of solo performances.[6] The story revolves around his teachings regarding social injustices concerning untouchability, equality and humanity.[7]
