Mana che Shlok (2025)

When Mrunmayee Deshpande—who not only directs but also stars in the film—stumbles upon an ancient Marathi shloka, it sparks a journey of self-reflection and transformation. This spiritual verse, the heart of “Manache Shlok” by Samarth Ramdas, serves as a guiding light, encouraging her to rethink her thoughts and motivations.

As she interacts with six pivotal characters (played by Rahul Pethe, Pushkaraj Chirputkar, Suvrat Joshi), she explores the complex relationship between mind, ego, discipline, and clarity. Each character imparts a valuable lesson, helping her to face distractions, reconnect with her purpose, and restore her inner balance. The story unfolds through a series of gentle realizations, deeply rooted in cultural heritage and moments of introspection.

Intimate, reflective, and culturally rich, Mana Che Shlok is a thoughtful character exploration. It resonates with audiences who are on the lookout for transformative cinema that draws from Marathi spiritual traditions and the universal journey toward self-discovery.
