Review

The post Sher Shivraj appeared first on .

Every Sardar and every soldier of the Maratha army played an important role in strengthening the power of the Great warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Film maker Digpal Lanjekar who offered us two films namely ‘Farzand’ and ‘Fatteshikast’ were based on the bravery acts of such Sardars and soldiers. The latest film of writer- director Digpal Lanjekar offers the episode of aggressive battle of Pavankhind fought between Maratha Sardar Baji Prabhu Deshpande along with Bandal Army comprising of only 600 soldiers with the mighty 10,000 + army of Adilshah Sultanate led by Siddi Masud.

It was a well planned battle to mislead the enemy and enable Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to reach Vishalgad through safe route. The film highlights the sacrifice of Baji Prabhu Deshpande and the Bandal army, while fighting the enemy in this region. So, the film is a tribute to Baji Prabhu Deshpande and all those soldiers from his army who were severely injured and laid down their lives for the safety of their beloved King.

The film has therefore given enough scope to Ajay Purkar, who has played the important role of Baji Prabhu Deshpande. He seems to be the favourite of the director, as in his earlier films he had played equally important characters of Tanaji Malusare and Motyaji Khalekar. Another artiste who invites all the attention is Harish Dudhade in the role of Bahirji Naik. At present, he is most popular actor on Marathi television. It may be recalled that Harish had played the character of Bahirji Naik very efficiently in Digpal’s previous film ‘Fatteshikast’.

Among others, Chinmay Mandlekar as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mrinal Kulkarni as Rajmata Jijau, Ankit Mohan with his strong physique as Rayaji Bandal and Kshiti Jog as Badi Begum make their presence felt in this multi starrer film, which concludes with the great battle in Maratha history , in which both the sides suffered heavy casualties. And therefore, we notice a lot of bloodshed while watching these action scenes. At the same time, there are many emotion filled scenes reminding about the love and respect every soldier from Maratha army had for their brave King. This film is now available for viewing on Amazon Prime.

Digpal Lanjekar who had successfully directed earlier Marathi films like ‘Farzand’, ‘Fatteshikast’ and very recently released his film ‘Pawankhind, is now getting ready to release his next film ‘Sher Shivraj’.  Through this film Digpal has focussed on how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj killed Afzal Khan at Pratapgad fort.

 It may be recalled that the Slaughtering of Afzal Khan is an important chapter in the history of Shivaji Maharaj’s period. We can say that then ‘Hindavi Swarajya’ was established in the true sense.  Now, the Marathi film lovers are getting ready to witness the historic golden chapter on the silver screen on 22nd April all over.

A glimpse of this historic moment can be seen on the recently released poster and Teaser of the film ‘Sher Shivraj’.  The saffron flag of ‘Hindavi Swarajya’ proudly fluttering on Pratapgad, the blood soaked hand of the Maharaj, the tiger nails which pulled out the bowels of Afzal Khan and the dazzling sun, which is a silent witness of all the happenings from that time till today.

‘Sher Shivraj’ is produced by Nittin Keni of Mumbai Movie Studios, Pradyot Pendharkar and Anil Narayanrao Varkhade of Raajwarasa Productions along with Digpal Lanjekar, Chinmay Mandlekar of Mulakshar Production.

IAS Officer and historian Vishwas Patil has written many novels . Some of his novels have even received prestigious awards. We have seen a sensible Marathi film like ‘Pangira’ which was based on his novel with the same name. Now, another Marathi film ‘Chandramukhi’ based on his novel with the same name will go on the floors soon. Akshay Bardapurkar along with Piyush Singh will produce this film and have made all the arrangements to begin the shoot of this film in November , taking all the necessary precautions, keeping in mind the ongoing lockdown restrictions.

Prasad Oak who will be directing this film said, “Though I am excited to begin my work after a long gap, there is a lot of responsibility on my shoulders, to ensure safety during the shooting. I am aware that after watching the poster of my film ‘Chandramukhi’, you are keen to know who is playing the title role and other important roles. Even I am eager to disclose this as early as possible; but till then I need all your good wishes for this project.”

Hope to know all the details of this film soon.

360 years have passed since this great battle was fought. And therefore it was a big challenge before the makers of this film Ajay and Anirudh Aarekar of Almonds Creations, who recreated the scenes with suitable huge sets, difficult action scenes with the help of advanced technical support. Therefore, there is a lot of curiosity about this film. The film stars Mrinal Kulkarni and Chinmay Mandlekar in prominent lead roles along with the big team of 21 talented artistes. Coinciding with this day of historical battle, the first look of this film will be released on 13th July 2020 on social media.
