Die Tochter des Maharadschas

I saw this mini series about 10 years ago and loved it. I've been looking to buy it on DVD, but so far I haven't been able to find it anywhere :( I actually did record this when it was shown on TV, but I've watched it so many times (not to mention all my friends who have borrowed it often) and now the tape is so worn out.

It's a story about a young gorgeous woman (Hunter Tylo) who's the daughter of a maharajah. She lives in the US, but goes to visit her father in India. During her time there, one of her fathers friends sees her and believes she's his lost wife, who's come back to him. He decides to kidnap Messua (Hunter Tylo) after he realizes she does not want to be with him.... Don't want to say too much, but I promise this is a very good miniseries and hopefully it will be released on DVD SOON! :)

I saw this movie for the first time when I was around seven or eight years old and I loved it. It's long, but not annoyingly long. The actors do a fantastic job, the roles of Messua and Patrick are incredible, you can really feel the love between them somehow. The little Tim is great at adding that cool "kid role" that I loved when I was a kid and saw it. Di Fazio and Vito are so much fun the way they act together, they seem like a married couple. Being set in India adds so much to the feel of the movie, the way the culture is different really is noticeable when Americans come there. I don't know what else to say except that if you haven't seen this movie, you should definitely do so. You won't regret it!

A fair mix of exotism and adventure . Seductive for Hunter Tylo presence, nice for the cliches , a pretty love story and music, action scenes and for India . The mark of a time - more 1980's than 1990's, actors and simplistic constructions of twists are the good points of this mini serie.

I saw it as a mini-series on local pay channel M-Net back in the day. I watched, because of Hunter Tylo. She was one of the stars of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL which I couldn't access, I live in a small town which couldn't receive the TV signal for that one. So I got to see the beautiful girl I had seen many magazine pictures of, in THE MAHARAJA'S DAUGHTER. I have since forgotten the story almost entirely, but remembered how beautiful Hunter was. As RavenGlamDVDCollector, couldn't locate the title, it took me years, I had some desperate attempts, IMDb could roll around laughing, for when I first got Internet, one of my top quests was encountered HERE ON THIS ENTRY and I thought, gee, maybe I could download it here...! Some time later, a Dutch copy became available (fortunately, original English soundtrack, yes!), and I am currently watching it. Decades after first seeing it, I am now "somewhat more critical" for what a mish-mash it really is. Too exotic for my taste. And the plot features a very obvious LETHAL WEAPON 3 inspiration, plus a tiny dash of BASIC INSTINCT with Bruce Boxleitner as the poor man's Michael Douglas. My opinion of Hunter Tylo hasn't changed. She is magnificent! A classic beauty! Raven-haired and breathtaking. She looks more royal than real royalty.

But if it had been anybody that couldn't hold a candle to Hunter's beauty, I'd never have watched this.
