Chintamani (చింతామణి) 1933 film

Chintamani was based on the legendary story of a Sanskrit poet named Bilwamangal. He was devotee of Lord Krishna a resident of Varanasi. He gets infatuated towards a courtesan called Chintamani, a woman of ill-fame and deserts his wife. However, Chintamani is an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna and spends most of her time singing bhajans in praise of Lord Krishna.
