Laxmi (1940)

A flamboyant film producer Ramesh dotes on his glamorous star, Kishori, while avoiding a return to his village — and the wife he married in childhood, Rajni, whom he hasn’t seen since. When Rajni shows up in the city after a quarrel, unaware she’s competing with Kishori for her own husband’s affection, mistaken identities and meddling antics spark a lively “wife versus mistress” comedy of love, loyalty, and chaos.

Laxmi is a 1940 movie. Directed by Mohan Sinha. Main cast: Kumar, Maya Banerjee, Bibbo, Gope, Jeevan Dhar. Runtime: 145 minutes.
