| 15 | Vijaya Mehta’s debut is a TV film based on the |
| 16 | legendary Marathi autobiography of Laxmibai |
| 17 | Tilak (1868-1936), a major social reform text |
| 18 | evoking the life of her husband, the |
| 19 | philosopher Narayan V. Tilak (Mankani and, as |
| 20 | an older man, Sudhir Joshi). The film covers 20 |
| 21 | years of her life, from her marriage to her |
| 22 | conversion to her husband’s religion, |
| 23 | Christianity. It also tells of her childhood, the |
| 24 | loss of her two children, her self-education and |
| 25 | her husband’s conversion in Ahmednagar |
| 26 | while she spent another five years in the same |
| 27 | town rigidly adhering to her Hindu beliefs. The |
| 28 | predominantly theatrical actors contribute to a |
| 29 | theatrical film. The main character is played by |
| 30 | three different actors: for the childhood scenes, |
| 31 | Patil takes the role; as a young woman she is |
| 32 | played by Suhas Joshi and as an old woman by |
| 33 | Mehta herself. |
