Manini is a 1961 Indian Marathi-language family drama film directed by Anant Mane [3] and produced by Kala Chitra. The film stars Jayshree Gadkar, Chandrakant Gokhale, Hansa Wadkar, Indira Chitnis, Ramesh Deo, Vasant Shinde, and Sharad Talwalkar.
Gadkar's portrayal as a modest and exemplary daughter-in-law assists the film in transplanting a neo-traditional set of values into the emerging urban middle class context. [4]
Malati defies her parents' wishes and marries Madhavi, despite their differing circumstances. Battling bouts of depression while traversing life's journey, she occasionally finds solace. When her parents visit, Annasaheb derides her choices, urging her to leave with him, but she stands her ground. Despite receiving invitations to her sister's weddings, Malati and Madhav depart their home with heavy hearts, never to return. Ignoring subsequent invitations, they remain resolute. Malati lives out her days with unwavering determination.
The production of the film was completed at Shalini Cinetone in Kolhapur. [5]
The film was adapted in Gujarati as Maa Dikri directed by Krishnakant. [6]
