The 2022 Marathi film , directed by Prasad Oak, is a cinematic adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Vishwas Patil. Set against the political and cultural backdrop of 1980s Maharashtra, it explores the collision of ambition, power, and forbidden love. Narrative and Themes

Daulatrao Deshmane (Adinath Kothare) is a virtuous and ambitious Member of Parliament who is on the verge of becoming Maharashtra’s next Minister of Industry. Chandramukhi (Amruta Khanvilkar) is a beautiful and talented Tamasha singer and Lavani dancer who has struggled to maintain her dignity in a profession often looked down upon.

The film cleverly avoids senseless jump scares and instead builds atmospheric dread. The comedy tracks involving a bumbling caretaker and a skeptical village officer are well-timed, preventing the movie from becoming too grim.
