Pawankhind Enters To Top 10 Highest-Grossing Marathi Films Of All Time
Mumbai, March 7 - The Marathi cinema continues to thrive and making its own place amid the crowed pulling Bollywood film industry. It all began with Nana Patekar's "Natasamrat", which became the first Marathi movie to gross over Rs. 50 crores at the box office.
However, the record of "Natasmrat" was later outscored within five months when the all-time blockbuster Marathi movie "Sairat" was released on April 29, 2016. It grossed over Rs. 100 crores at the worldwide box office and remains the only Marathi movie to achieve the feat to date.
Now, there is another movie that is finding its legs in the record books. "Pawankhind", a historical drama film directed by Digpal Lanjekar and produced under the banner of Almonds Creations in association with A A Films, has been unstoppable ever since it debuted in theaters on 18 February 2022.
Based on the life of Maratha warrior, Baji Prabhu Deshpande, "Pawankhind" has completed 17 days at the box office, and it has grossed a super Rs. 31.50 crores in India. It has stormed into the list of Top 10 highest-grossing Marathi movies of all time, taking the 7th spot (as of March 6) in the list. It will easily cross the next two movies, "Naal" (Rs. 32 crores), and "Timepass" (Rs. 33 crores), to reach number 5 in the list.
The film depicts the historical rearguard last stand that took place on 13 July 1660 at a mountain pass in the vicinity of fort Vishalgad, near the city of Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India between the Maratha Warrior Baji Prabhu Deshpande and Siddi Masud of Adilshah Sultanate, known as Battle of Pavan Khind.
"Pawankhind" was originally slated for June 2021 release, but the makers were forced to postpone it due to the second covid-19 wave. It stars Chinmay Mandlekar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Ajay Purkar, Sameer Dharmadhikari, along with Ankit Mohan, Prajakta Mali and Kshitee Jog in supporting roles.
