Neel Kamal is a 1947 black and white Bollywood film directed by Kidar Sharma.
Although a commercial failure, this romantic melodrama is now significant as the debut of two of Bollywood's most important figures, Raj Kapoor and Madhubala who was just 14 years at the time.
Set in the royal court of Janakgarh, the film opens with the palace coup led by the villainous Mangal Singh, resulting in the deaths of the king and queen. Princess Kamala (Madhubala) and her sister are spirited out the court and given over to a family of untouchables. Later, both princesses fall in love with a rakish artist (Kapoor), resulting in Kamala committing suicide.
