The Marathi play ''Himalayachi Saavli'' (literal meaning, "The Shadow of the Himalayas". Contextually it means, under the cover of Himalaya) by [[Vasant Kanetkar]], published in 1972, is loosely based on the life of Karve. The character of Nanasaheb Bhanu is a composite character based on Karve and other Marathi social reformers of the late 19th and early 20th century. The play itself depicts the tension between Bhanu/Karve's public life as a social reformer and his family life due to the social backlash and economic hardships his children and wife had to endure.

''The Story of Dr. Karve'' is a 1958 documentary film directed by Neil Gokhale and [[Ram Gabale]]. It was produced by the [[Government of India]]'s [[Films Division]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Jag Mohan|title=Documentary films and Indian Awakening|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DfgADgAAQBAJ&pg=PT128|year=1990|publisher=[[Publications Division (India)|Publications Division]]|isbn=978-81-230-2363-2|page=128}}</ref>
