Kohinoor Film Company was an Indian film studio established in 1919 by Dwarkadas Sampat (1884-1958). According to Ashish Rajadhyaksha and Paul Willemen, it was the largest and most influential studio of the Indian silent film era. The studio gained national prominence when its 1921 film Bhakta Vidur, was banned by the British colonial government on the ground that the character Vidur, played by its producer Sampat, was "portrayed as a 'thinly-clad version' of Mahatma Gandhi."
