Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale Review
A Marathi action drama directed by Mahesh Majrekar, starring Treesha Thosar and Siddharth Bodke.
The original film, Me Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy (2009), was a phenomenon, collecting ₹25 crore nett and becoming a movement for Marathi cinema.
It was! a movement, a mass awakening, a moment of pride for Marathi cinema.
Only Sairat (2016) later reached similar legendary status, but couldn't create the same euphoria as "Garv Ahe Mala, Me Maharashtrian Asalyacha!".
Mahesh Manjrekar was a key force behind the success of Me Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy, as both an actor and creator.
Author's summary: Classic Marathi film ruined by brainless flick.
