Lalan Sarang

The film ‘Mani Mangalsutra’ based on an original true story written by Late Advocate Supriya Sarwate , which goes on to define the perfect man and woman relationship, which is more out of affection and caring for each other rather than just limiting it to sexual relationship. Young Film maker Gauri Karekar Sarwate was so much inspired by this unusual story written by her late mother-in-law, that she decided to make a film on this true story. The film portrays the camouflaged values of our Indian culture and successfully displays the unwavering bonds between husband and wife irrespective of cast, creed and nationality.

Wealthy and influential Hindurao Dhonde Patil finds a homeless drunk, brings him home, looks after him, feeds him, finds a room for him, gets him employed, calls him Master, and even finds a woman to look after him. In return, this male steals from Hindurao, is apprehended by the local police, but Hindurao pays for his bail. Hindurao is forced to make a final decision about him after he finds out that Master has been inquiring about a missing army officer named Maruti Kamble.

The story of a proud woman, her poetic vindication of unfair social insult, and her inevitable sad destiny. A very culture-specific film dipped in a local festival of rural women.
