Mayuri (1984)

Melodrama about a classical dancer who, after an accident, has a leg amputated. With an artificial leg known as the Jaipur foot, she returns to dancing and regains her earlier reputation. The film was promoted as a fictionalised version of the real-life story of its lead actress, Sudha Chandran. Other characters include a henpecked father, a cruel stepmother and a boyfriend who is the cause of the accident and promptly abandons Mayuri when she becomes a cripple, adding to her determination to regain her lost self-respect.
