Putta Gowri Maduve started off as a remake of Colors TV's Hindi drama Balika Vadhu, but later deviated from it entirely.[5][6]

Originally Putta Gowri Maduve starred Ranjani Raghavan and Rakshith Gowda.[7] In 2018, after both of them had quit, Kavya Shree and Gagan Chinappa became the main leads and the series was renamed to Mangala Gowri Maduve in April 2019.[8][9]

Synopsis

The series started with the journey of eight-year-old, Putta Gowri, who was forced to marry a boy named Mahesh of the same age. Her life turned upside down as she tries to adjust to traditions and customs her in-laws. The story then advanced to her adulthood as she raises her voice against orthodox rituals.

Mahesh became a doctor and fell for his fellow doctor Hima. Her father and her father's sister plotted against Putta Gowri. They trick her to get Mahesh and Hima married. But Mahesh later realises that his heart has place only for Gowri and no one can replace her. Mahesh finally reunites with Putta Gowri in the end. In the end, it is also shown that Hima's father is repenting for ruining his own daughter's life.

The renamed series title concentrates on the life of Mangala Gowri and Rajeev. Mangala Gowri is the niece of Mahesh and the great granddaughter of Rajeshwari aka Ajjamma. She is rebellious, but unexpectedly marries IPS officer Rajeev.
