"Moti Ka Haar" (1937), also known as "Pearl Necklace," is an early Hindi film directed by Jaddanbai, a pioneering woman in Indian cinema. Classified as both a fantasy and a social film, its plot likely explores the significance of a pearl necklace within a narrative that touches upon societal themes of the era. Featuring actors like Mehtab and a young Nargis, this film is a notable example from the nascent stages of Indian talkies.
