Biopics of  famous personalities from Maharashtra, have always received good response from Marathi film lovers. Best examples are films like ‘Dr.Prakash Baba Amte‘ & ‘Lokmanya‘. Actually, much depends on the research and hard work put in by the film maker, to present the important happenings  in the lives of such people, in a realistic way. But, what is more important is the selection of artistes, as they should be acceptable by the audience.

Till now, we were not aware, as to how the lead actor Sharad Kelkar looks, while portraying the character of late Gopinath Munde. But, with the unveiling of the first look of ‘Sangharsh Yatra‘, we are all convinced that the prosthetic make up done by Mr. Pradeep Premgirikar for actor Sharad Kelkar, does make him look like the late dynamic leader of Maharashtra. Sharad has not only resembled him, with this special make up on his face, but he has also convincingly used the body language and style of the dialogue delivery of the leader.

We also had the glimpse of other important characters played by Shruti Marathe & Dipti Bhagwat, in this first look and they too are expected to give their best. Speaking about the delay in releasing this film, after announcement of its scheduled release, last month, the makers of the film, have jokingly put it, “ Mr. Munde was always in a habit of  arriving late, for functions and meetings. Therefore, we felt that his film should also be released behind scheduled date.”

But, the day they have selected for release now, is 19^th February 2016; which also happens to be the release date of four other films, namely, ‘Mr. & Mrs. Sadachari’, ‘Vighnaharta Mahaganapati’, ‘Ek Hotee Rani’  & ‘7 Roshan Villa’. And, all of them are different types of films. So, we will have to wait and see, which film will be ahead in the race?
