Hun Hunshi Hunshilal (Love in the Time of Malaria. Gujarati with English subtitles), 1992

In the fictitious country of Khojpuri contended citizens sleep, work and follow rules set forth by King Bhadrabhoop. All is not well though. A strange illness is spreading. Bitten by mysterious mosquitoes, some people become restless and agitated, and start to question their King. Hunshilal, a loyalist, joins the battle against the mosquitoes. He begins work on anti-mosquito medicines at the Queen’s Lab. Here he falls in love with his colleague Parveen, who reciprocates his feelings, but things change when Hunshi discovers that Parveen has been infected by the mosquito illness too.
