Mr. Sampat (/səmpəθ/) is a 1952 Indian Hindi-language satirical film produced and directed by S. S. Vasan of Gemini Studios. It is based on R. K. Narayan's 1949 novel Mr. Sampath – The Printer of Malgudi, and the Tamil film Miss Malini (1947). The film revolves around the titular con artist (Motilal) who manipulates an actress (Padmini) and a merchant (Kanhaiyalal) for his own benefits.
Mr. Sampat was released on 25 December 1952. Although Motilal received rave reviews for his performance, the film was a commercial failure.
