A fairy-tale film with elements of melodrama, comedy and musical, based on tales from the «Thousand and One Nights»: the poor woodcutter Ali Baba finds immense riches in the robbers' cave, and the central theme is the conflict between the noble Ali Baba and his greedy brother Kasym. The action unfolds in the fictional city of Gulabad, in the mountains, the desert and India. A Soviet-Indian co-production by directors Latif Fayziyev and Umesh Mehra for Uzbekfilm and Eagle Films, with much of the shooting done in Bukhara and Tashkent. Russian Wikipedia dates it to 1980, while the site gives 1979.
