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.

Battling bouts of depression while traversing life's journey, she occasionally finds solace.

Despite receiving invitations to her sister's weddings, Malati and Madhav depart their home with heavy hearts, never to return.
