Franz Osten's [[silent film]]s tell varieties of Indian stories. ''[[The Light of Asia]]'' (1925) dealt with the life of [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]]. ''[[Shiraz]]'' (1928) dramatises the events that led to the construction of the [[Taj Mahal]]. ''[[A Throw of Dice]]'' (1929) was based on myths and legends drawn from Indian epic [[Mahabharata]]. These movies contributed to increasing the understanding of [[Dharmic religions|eastern religions]] and offered visual splendour and escapism, featuring live elephants in festive decoration and utilising thousands of extras. | Franz Osten's [[silent film]]s tell varieties of Indian stories.
