Shyamchi Aai (1953)
National Film Archive of India
Pune, India
Sane Guruji’s novel was made into a film Shyamchi Aai (Shyam’s Mother, 1953) by P.K. Atre. The film incorporates the heavy nationalist symbolism associated with the mother (Vanamala), a devoutly religious person with an earthy philosophy, as well as the sentimental depiction of her relationship with her son (Madhav Vaze).

- Story: Despite its emphasis on a ruralist realism, the characters remain exemplary and (surprisingly for Atre) humourless stereotypes. The film, like the book, relies on flashbacks as Sane Guruji (D. Joshi) tells the stories in homage to a person to whom he owes everything. Young Shyam's maturation culminate in the mother's death.
