What happens

Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale (transl. Shivajiraje Bhosale Once Again) is a 2025 Indian Marathi-language socio-political drama film directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. The film follows a young girl's fight for justice after her farmer father's suicide, which awakens the spirit of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Returning to modern Maharashtra, he confronts corruption and inspires people—especially farmers and youth—to rise up and restore the ideals of Swarajya. The film was theatrically released on 31 October 2025 and received a positive response from critics, but it underperformed at the box office and emerged as a box-office bomb. Made on a budget of ₹13 crore, it became the third most expensive Marathi film of all time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
