) is a 1977 Indian Bengali-language action film written and directed by Pijush Basu. Produced by Asim Sarkar under the banner of Usha Films, the film stars Uttam Kumar in dual roles, alongside Arati Bhattacharya, Prema Narayan, Bikash Roy, Dilip Roy and Chhaya Devi in other pivotal roles. It focuses on Bhairav Narayan, the king of the Mainabati Estate, who refuses to acknowledge his illegitimate son Pratap Narayan as his own child and a member of the royal dynasty, which leads the latter to become utterly psychotic and to murder his father in retaliation for the humiliation inflicted upon his mother.

The film marks the eighth collaboration between Basu and Kumar, and also pairs the latter with Bhattacharya for the third time. Shyamal Mitra composed the music of the film, with lyrics penned by Gauriprasanna Mazumder. Its cinematography and editing were handled by Bijoy Ghosh and Baidyanath Chatterjee respectively.

Rajbansha was theatrically released on 7 January 1977, on the occasion of Sankranti. Opening to mixed reviews, the film became a commercial success and emerged as one of the highest-grossing Bengali films of the year. It gained a specific attention for Kumar's portrayal of an anti-hero for the sixth time, and also created a record in the combined sales of the original soundtrack and dialogues (released separately). It was remade into Telugu as Chanda Sasanudu in 1983, starring NTR.

Plot

Tagar was a trusted attendant to the Queen of the Mainabati estate. Their loyalties are shattered when Bhairav Narayan Sinha, the King of the estate, subjects her to fulfill his lust. The shame and trauma force the mother and son to flee the royal household. She gives birth to Bhairav's illegitimate son Pratap Narayan. They endure great hardship, eventually leading to the mother's untimely death.

Bearing a deep grudge and a thirst to avenge his mother's humiliation, Pratap returns to the royal estate as an adult, and leaves his aspiration to be a doctor. He infiltrates the circles of those who wronged his family and methodically sets out to exact his revenge. Throughout this dark journey, Pratap hunts down and murders the individuals responsible for destroying his family's dignity.

Driven by a warped but deeply felt sense of justice, Pratap successfully eliminates three people involved in his mother's mistreatment. After carrying out his revenge, Pratab concludes his arc by voluntarily turning himself in and confessing to his crimes at the local police station.
