Ankh Micholi

When a maid discovers the dead body of her mistress, Lady Hiramani, and Mala, the secretary of Lady Hiramani running away from the body, she immediately calls the police. The car in which Mala escaped is followed by the police with the chase ending when the car smashes on a bridge and turns upside down. However, the police are unable to locate Mala or her corpse. When Mala's death and her connection with the murder of Lady Hiramani are reported by the newspapers, Mala decides to change her name to Nayantara and starts working as a dancer in the Venus Theater, where she achieves considerable success. Other people associated with the theater enter the plot including Agha, the theater's manager, his assistant Dilip, Shivram, a lawyer who provides legal services to the theater and Tara, another prominent dancer for the theater. One day when Nayantara returns home after a performance at the Venus Theater, she is surprised to find an intruder in her bedroom who claims to be her husband, Manohar. When she pulls a pistol on him and asks him to get out of her bedroom or she will kill him, he remains puzzled by her response and refuses to leave. The next day, Nayantara is arrested by Inspector Jagdish while she has a pistol in her hand and the police find the lifeless body of Manohar in the bedroom. Nayantara, also known as Mala, is now accused of two murders. The movie progresses with unraveling the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Lady Hiramani and Manohar by introducing new characters into the plot including Mala's brother, and their mother, Geeta Bhalla, so viewers can decide whether Mala (alias Nayantara) is indeed guilty of the murders she has been accused of committing. == Cast ==
