Talwar Ka Dhani is a 1956 Hindi-language costume drama directed by Dwarka Khosla and produced by Vikas Productions. The film boasts a notable cast, including Manhar Desai as Vijay, Nadira as Rani, Anwar Hussain as the antagonist Megha, Shammi as Indira, B. M. Vyas, and Sulochana in the role of Queen Mother Sudha.

The story follows Queen Mother Sudha, who entrusts her infant prince to a loyal sardar to protect him from the ruthless rebel leader Megha. Although Megha’s forces pursue them, they successfully escape. As Megha intensifies his efforts to eliminate the queen's loyalists, she seeks help from her trusted Thakurs. Responding to her call, Vijay, Rani, and Gopu disguise themselves as dancers to secretly enter the palace and assist the queen. Together, they plan to rescue the princess and reunite her with the hidden prince. However, their plan is compromised by Indira, a palace maid, resulting in their capture. With the help of another maid, Saroj, they escape, rally the Thakurs, and lead a final battle against Megha, ultimately defeating him.

The film’s music, composed by Chitragupta with lyrics by Anjum Jaipuri and Gopal Singh Nepali, features memorable songs such as “Neend Na Aayi Raja Tum Yaad Aaye,” beautifully rendered by Asha Bhosle.
