You can stream Chandralekha (1997) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

An unemployed man saves a rich woman and takes her to the hospital where her relatives mistake him as her husband. He plays along as he needs money to repay a loan.

Shifting from desperate poverty to the stifling luxury of a wealthy household, this mistaken identity comedy thrives on awkward social tension. A penniless man finds himself trapped in a lie that promises financial relief but threatens his very dignity.
