Their commencing model appears to have been the Morris Ten Series M design. The subject vehicle is therefore (I think) a Morris Eight Series E. The “I think” does not indicate lack of recognition of the car, which would undoubtedly be a Morris Eight were it in Bournville not Bollywood, but lack of knowledge about what the car was called in the sub-continent.
