Among the earliest films whose story extends over just a few hours, Gateway of India tells the story of an heiress who runs away from her house to escape her murderous uncle. It was a moderate commercial success upon being released in theatres, and also received favourable reviews from the critics. In October 2015, the film was mentioned by Deepa Gahlot in her book 50 Films that Deserve a New Audience.
