Imagi Ningthem (English: My Son, My Precious) is a 1981 Manipuri film directed by Aribam Syam Sharma and written by M. K. Binodini Devi.
Dhani is welcomed by Gandhar at the location, where he takes her around the school and introduces the students.
Gandhar tells Dhani that Thoithoi's grandfather was working as an attendant in the Inspection Bungalow.
An officer who was posted at the place and lived at the bungalow, seduced Memtombi, but soon got transferred.
She learns that he is Dinachandra from Elang Leikai, who happens to be her cousin Ekashini's husband.
But at the time, Dinachandra was out of station for a training programme, and also for meeting his son who was studying in Delhi.
Ekashini leaves but feels the pain of separation with Thoithoi, who addresses her as mother.
Ekashini does not disclose the story but only tells him that she adopted him just because she likes him and there won't be any problem with it afterwards.
The film ends with Ekashini correcting a step of the Thoithoi's Krishna dance, showing her love for her son, her precious.
The citation for the National Award reads, "For its charm, simplicity and freshness of approach."
