Main Nashe Mein Hoon (English: I Am Intoxicated) is a 1959 Hindi film directed by Naresh Saigal.[3] The film was the second of only two films (the other being Night Club (1958)[4]) distributed and produced by Varma Pictures, an affiliate of Varma Films.

The film’s narrative centers around the downward spiraling effects of alcoholism together with womanizing and the mitigating role that familial structures can have on these effects. In the film’s retelling of this good and evil story, the protagonist in the film, who gets trapped into a sliding descent, is played by lead actor Raj Kapoor, one of the greatest and most influential actors and filmmakers in history of Indian Cinema.[5][6] The familial structures that attempt to alleviate the falling descent of the protagonist come largely from the person played by lead actress Mala Sinha, who at the time this film was released, was the highest paid actress (along with actress Vyjanthimala).[7]
