Bringing Folk Legend Vithabai to Life: Defying Dogma for the Art of Tamasha
The biographical feature chronicles the remarkable and defiant life of Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar, celebrated as the "Queen of Tamasha":
Revolutionizing 20th-Century Folk Art: Vithabai broke social taboos and patriarchal barriers throughout the 20th century to elevate Lavani and Tamasha into revered cultural art forms across Maharashtra.
The Legendary Stage Moment: The film recreates one of the most astonishing moments in folk history—when a nine-month pregnant Vithabai experienced labor pains mid-performance, retreated backstage to deliver her child, severed the umbilical cord using an ordinary stone, and returned directly to the stage to continue dancing for her audience.
A Groundbreaking Character Transformation: The role marks Shraddha Kapoor’s most demanding biographical portrayal to date, demanding intense physical commitment, classical folk rhythm, and complex emotional nuance.
Theatrical Release on December 4: Setting the Stage for December Box Office
With release plans finalized, Eetha is set to open Bollywood's year-end box office corridor:
Confirmed Release Date: Eetha will arrive in theatres across India on Friday, December 4, 2026.
Solo Showcase Window: By locking December 4, the makers have carved out a lucrative window before the arrival of late-December holiday tentpoles like Shah Rukh Khan’s King.
Expanding Solo Female-Led Stature: The project further cements Kapoor’s position as a bankable box-office draw capable of anchoring high-budget biographical dramas independently.
