The of the Maratha warriors is fairly ancient, which has given the country many courageous soldiers that were ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their country and religion. There have been several movies and documentaries made of many of those warriors which made a lot of profit and garnered great TRP. We wish to talk to you about this one movie that was released five years ago which made blockbuster earnings all over the world on the first day of its release. There is a special place for it in the hearts of many and it rests there to this day.
This Film Was Released 5 Years Ago
This particular movie was released 5 years ago in 2020 and with that you will already know that we are talking of the movie, ’Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior,’ where Ajay Devgan had the leading role. He was seen portraying the role of Maratha warrior Tanhaji Malusare. He was one of the most fiercest general under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and fought with utmost courage in order to capture back the Kondhana fort from the might Mughals. This character of his was masterfully brought to life by Ajay Devgan's powerful acting.
Story of Tanaji Malusare, The Maratha warrior
The portrayal of Tanaji Malusare was very well executed and, as is apparent on social media threads, people always appreciate his character and the role he played.
To this day, people remember his character. The story of the film was built around the winning of the Kondhana fort by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the 17th century. Shivaji Maharaj issued commands to Tanaji Malusare, who was determined to reclaim the fort. The Mughals had a massive army and the fort was heavily fortified. Tanaji used his strategic wit and valor to outsmart the Mughals and won.
The film rocked the box office.
About 5 years back, this film was released and it managed to surpass the box office records with incredible acclaim winning number of awards. Reports say that the budget for the movie was approximately 125 crores while it grossed around 332.8 crores in India. While worldwide, the film did a business of approximately 367.65 crore. The film won 16 awards including, Ajay Devgan’s National Award for Best Actor, Om Raut’s Best Director award, and Saif Ali Khan as Best Supporting Actor. \
In this battle, Tanhaji met his martyrdom but it was not in vain as the Marathas were able to win back the Kondhana Fort. In this film, alongside Ajay Devgan, were Saif Ali Khan, Sharad Kelkar, Kajol, and Neha Sharma.
Sharad Kelkar’s portrayal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was received exceedingly well by the spectators. While we had Saif as the villain of the film, he too, for his Udaybhan Singh Rathore, performed remarkably. His efforts and talent earned him a great deal of respect as well.
