More details about Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy
Mi Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy is a Marathi-language movie that explores the story of Dinkar Maruti Bhosale, a Maharashtrian bank clerk who feels that his Marathi identity is being lost in cosmopolitan Mumbai.
Living in Maharashtra, Dinakar often complains about the lack of respect for Maharashtrian values in modern-day society. In a state of deep frustration, he one day curses himself for being born a Marathi, believing that his ancestors must have committed a great sin for him to be born into such a community.
This emotional outburst reaches Pratapgad, awakening the spirit of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Furious, the legendary figure rebukes Dinakar, leading him to a much-needed realization about his identity, pride, and cultural roots.
Directed by Santosh Ramdas Manjrekar, the film featured an ensemble cast including Makarand Anaspure, Suchitra Bandekar, Siddarth Jadhav, Priya Bapat, and more.
