What happens

Majili (transl. A part of a journey) is a 2019 Indian Telugu-language romantic sports drama film directed by Shiva Nirvana and produced by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi under the banner of Shine Screens Production. The film stars Naga Chaitanya, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Divyansha Kaushik, with Subbaraju, Rao Ramesh, and Atul Kulkarni in supporting roles. The film follows a high functioning alcoholic cricket coach struggling to overcome his past trauma, while his wife selflessly ensures his rehabilitation, at the cost of her own happiness. The film marks Chaitanya and Samantha's fourth collaboration after Ye Maaya Chesave, Manam, and Autonagar Surya. It released on 5 April 2019 to generally positive reviews from both the audience and critics, alike. The film was remade in Marathi as Ved in 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
