Cinema at its most entertaining: In the second part, the conflict between Berger and the Maharaja—rivals for the love of Seetha—reaches a boiling point. Yet, the devious Ramigani is once again pulling the strings, even plotting a coup d’état. … While the two "India" films were panned upon their release—especially in Germany—admirers of Lang from the "Nouvelle Vague" recognized their artistry: "Fritz Lang is not interested in reality […] instead, he has opened a path to fantasy and abundance. Here, rites and ceremonies are invented for the very purpose of describing them—much like Lovecraft did with his bibliographies, or Borges with his labyrinths." (Philippe Demonsablon) (Florian Widegger)
