Chand Par Chadayee (Trip To Moon) is one of India's earliest sci-fi films. It was directed by T.P. Sundaram, and stars muscleman Dara Singh and the smoking-hot Helen. Although this was filmed in 1967, one could easily guess it to be much older, because of the ultra-crude effects and visual style. Fans of Ed Wood will be amazed by the spaceships and spacesuits on display here. Like all Indian films, it has plenty of singing and dancing. Astronaut Anand (Dara Singh) is on a mission to the moon. Before his rocket can be launched, he is attacked by moon men, who will stop at nothing to prevent his mission. They abduct Anand and
take him prisoner on their spaceship. After escaping from
the moon men, Anand fights King Kong, cow dinosaurs (!),
a Cyclops, Medusa, space rhinos, robots and moon minions. This is recommended to fans of psychotronic films and cult cinema. It's in unsubtitled Hindi, but never mind about that.
