Vikram Aur Betaal draws its inspiration from 'Betaal Pachisi,' which is a collection of tales penned by the 11th-century Kashmiri poet Somdev Bhatt.
The legend states that Vikramaditya a ruler governing a kingdom from his capital in Ujjain, was known for his passion for knowledge and adventure.
Fearless and resolute, the king welcomed daily visitors who bestowed him with various gifts, all of which he graciously accepted.
Intrigued, Vikramaditya ordered an inspection of all the fruits, revealing a cache of fine rubies.
Determined to understand the mystery, the king sought out the mendicant, who set a peculiar condition for their meeting under a Banyan tree in the heart of the cremation ground, at night, on the 14th day of the dark half of the month.Abiding by the arrangement, the king met the mendicant, who revealed a task only a ruler like Vikramaditya could undertake.
He instructed the king to retrieve a centuries-old corpse hanging from a tree's branch at the northernmost corner of the ground.
Legend further has it that Vikramaditya, driven by a vow, had to transport Betaal's corpse silently from one location to another.
Yet, each time Vikramaditya answered, Betaal returned to the treetop, leaving the king short of his destination.
Intent on acquiring world powers, the mendicant planned to kill the king during the occult rites on Betaal's corpse.
True to Betaal's revelation, the mendicant attempted to kill Vikramaditya, who, displaying cunning prowess, outsmarted and defeated his assailant, exposing the nefarious plan.
Thus, the tales of Vikram Aur Betaal unfold, weaving together elements of suspense, wisdom, and the triumph of virtue over treachery.
