Mr. X in Bombay, directed by Pradyuman Bhardwaj, is a 1964 Indian science fiction romantic comedy film starring Kishore Kumar, Kumkum and Madan Puri.[1][2]
Plot[edit]
Saloni Sachdeva (Zoey Warner) lives a wealthy lifestyle with her scientist dad Manoj Sharma (Murphy Lawrence), who is now carrying out experiments on various issues. One day while doing so, he makes an employee named Varun Bhardwaj (Jack Smith) drink a potion, which results in his death. Rachit Priyadarshi (Paul Wiever) comes to their rescue, gets rid of the body, and starts blackmailing Manoj, which can only end when Saloni marries Rachit. Then one day Saloni meets a poet by the name of Dixit Rathi (Saintha Paaji) and both of them fall in love. When he asks for her hand in marriage, Saloni refuses. The next day Saloni finds a note addressed to her from Dixit Rathi in which he has stated that he is going to kill himself. Thereafter, every night she starts to hear Dixit's voice, blaming her for his death, as his soul is unable to find solace. With Dixit out of the way, Rachit readies himself for marrying Saloni - and it looks like he may have his way with the Manoj after all - without having to encounter any more obstacles. But all this time, Dixit was actually invisible and not dead. With the help of Saloni's father, he gets visible again. They get married and live happily ever after.
