Bhabhi, Indian movie from 1938 in Hindi. 2 h 24 min 27 s. Director: Franz Osten. Cinematographer: Josef Wirsching. Choreographer: Mumtaz Ali. Music: Saraswati Devi. Lyrics: J. S. Casshyyap. Cast: P. Jairaj, Renuka Devi, Maya Devi, Meera, V. H. Desai, P. F. Pithwala.
Based on "Bisher Dhuan" by writer Sardindu Banerjee (1899-1970), who adapted it for Bombay Talkies, Bhabhi is the story of an upright young man named Kishore (Jairaj) who promises his dying friend to take care of the latter's wife, Bimala (Maya Devi), left all alone in the world. Kishore brings Bimala to his house, where they live as brother and sister. Society disapproves, and so does Kishore's father, who disinherits his son. Meanwhile, Renu (Renuka Devi) and her father, Vinay Babu — a funny old man, a bundle of nerves — move in next door. Kishore and Renu fall in love, much to the annoyance of the pompous Anupam (Rama Shukul), who plans to marry the wealthy Renu. Anupam plays villain and creates much heartbreak for the lovers. On a side note, Renu's friend Bela (Meera), who is Anupam's cousin, falls for Kishore. Finally, all misunderstandings are cleared, thanks largely to Deenbandhu (the comforting and rather avuncular P. F. Pithawala), Kishore's former teacher.
