Neha Naik

Neha Naik steps right into the heart of “Sant Dnyaneshwaranchi Muktaai,” a film that cracks open the fascinating life of Muktaai, the lesser-sung sister of Sant Dnyaneshwar. Set against the raw, bustling backdrop of 13th-century Maharashtra, this movie doesn’t tiptoe around the messiness of life back then—caste drama, social stigma, spiritual hunger, the lot. Muktaai isn’t just a sidekick in her brother’s journey; she’s got her own fire, juggling devotion, family loyalty, and a society that would rather pretend she doesn’t exist. The film digs deep into her inner world—her stubborn faith, the blowback from those around her, and the guts it took to stick to her beliefs when everyone else was bailing. Sant Dnyaneshwar and his siblings are all dealing with their own scars, but Muktaai’s resilience, especially as a woman in a time when women couldn’t even dream of a voice, is what really hits home. The movie’s not just a dusty history lesson, either. It’s alive—full of music, rituals, petty arguments, and the kind of small, human moments that make legends feel real. Through Muktaai’s eyes, you witness the clash between old-school tradition and the slow-burning change her family sparked. It’s messy, emotional, sometimes even funny. But mostly, it’s about never letting go of hope, even when the world tells you to sit down and shut up. With Neha Naik leading the charge, the story’s got grit, soul, and a ton of heart.
