Khanuma (Russian: Ханума ['xanuma], Georgian: ხანუმა) is a shrewd matchmaker in the eponymous 1978 Soviet Russian Georgian-themed television film directed by Georgy Tovstonogov.[1] It is a screen version of the same name classic Georgian vaudeville by Avksenty Tsagareli.[2]

The text of Tsagareli's play was updated by Boris Ratser and Vladimir Konstantinov.[3] This work is considered one of the best works of Tovstonogov.[2][4][5]
