Abstract
This essay considers the history of Soviet Indian coproductions focusing on Ali Baba and 40 Thieves (1980) as a political allegory over the fate of the multination state. It addresses the formal utopian character of the film and the excessive threat of sexual violence in the song-and-dance numbers.
