Thakurayeen (Bhojpuri for The thakur’s wife) is a 1984 Bhojpuri-language film directed by Meeni Thakur and Bhagwant Thakur. The film was produced by Rajmani Singh under the banner of Rajesh Films Combines. The film stars Padma Khanna and Sujit Kumar in the lead roles, with Girija Mitra, Hari Shukla, Jayantimala and Brijesh Tripathi appearing in supporting roles. The music for the film was composed by Chand Pardesi, while the story, screenplay and dialogue were written by R. S. Pandey.
The film holds particular significance for being the first Bhojpuri production co-directed by a female filmmaker, Meeni Thakur, a few years before Arati Bhattacharya became the first woman to independently direct a Bhojpuri film, Dagabaaz Balma (1988).[1] The film's notability also arises from featuring leading Bhojpuri cinema stars. Padma Khanna, the principal female lead, has been described as a “superstar” of Bhojpuri films.[2] Sujit Kumar, who played the male lead, is acknowledged as the “first superstar” of Bhojpuri films,[3] and is regarded as an influential figure in Bhojpuri cinema.[4]
