Vishwa Mohini or Vishwamohini (Telugu: విశ్వమోహిని) is a 1940 Telugu film directed by Y. V. Rao. This film is a love triangle satirizing the film industry.
Purushottam (Y.V. Rao) embezzles money from a firm of brokers owned by Padmanabham in order to get his son Mohan Rao married to Hemalatha, daughter of the millionaire Vishalakshamma (B Rajaratnam). The now impoverished Padmanabham partially gets his own revenge when his daughter Sushila (Lalitha Devi) becomes a film star Vishwa Mohini. The film producer Pashupati, brother of Vishalakshamma, introduces her. The star Vishwa Mohini falls in love with Mohan Rao and her father agrees to their marriage provided Mohan can find a job. He pretends to have done so and the two get married. Hemalatha offers money to Vishwa Mohini to go away and free Mohan, which, in an emotional scene, she refuses to do.
