There comes a moment in life when the mind finds itself trapped in a dilemma. We have attempted to portray this sensitive emotion with honesty and depth. I believe the teaser released on Father’s Day will touch the hearts of audiences and resonate with people of all ages.”

The film’s story, screenplay, direction, and editing have been handled by Nilesh Naik. The lyrics are penned by Mangesh Kangane and Mandar Cholkar, while the music is composed by Nilotpal Bora and Shailendra Barve.

​Presented by Shreyas Talpade and produced by Affluence Motion Pictures Pvt. Ltd. and O D I Group, Mardini is a cinematic journey that explores both the tenderest emotions of a mother’s heart and her fiercest battles. The trailer offers a compelling glimpse of a regular mother’s life turning upside down after a crisis hits her children, and the extraordinary strength that awakens within her as she stands tall against adversity.

​The trailer opens with a happy, content family. A world revolving around a daughter, a mother finding her joy in her child’s innocent smile, and a simple, peaceful life… however, an unexpected incident suddenly shatters this bliss. As the gravity of the situation intensifies, the mother’s helplessness, fear, and restlessness leave the audience profoundly moved. But right at that moment, the warrior within her awakens, marking the beginning of an intense struggle for justice.

​Giving a broader and deeper meaning to the traditional sentiment “A mother’s shield, none can wield,” the trailer brings forth a different dimension of motherhood. It powerfully conveys that a mother can cross any boundary, confront any danger, and challenge the entire system if needed to protect her children. Consequently, this film transcends being just one mother’s story to become a celebration of every woman’s strength and resilience.

​Along with intense emotional moments, the trailer effectively weaves in mystery and suspense. With unresolved questions embedded in the plot, a relentless pursuit of justice, escalating tension, and spine-chilling sequences, the trailer keeps viewers hooked from start to finish. The impactful background score, realistic cinematography, and gripping dialogues strongly emphasize the film’s dark and emotional undertone.

​The trailer makes it evident that actress Prarthana Behere’s performance is the soul of this film. Her transformation from a loving, gentle mother into a fierce warrior fighting against all odds is brilliantly portrayed on screen. The emotional depth of her acting and the sheer strength of her character are bound to keep audiences emotionally invested. Additionally, strong performances by Abhijeet Khandkekar, Jitendra Joshi, Rajesh Bhosle, and child artist Myra Vaikul add immense weight to the narrative.

​Director Ajay Mayekar, in his debut film, seamlessly blends emotion, social reality, and thrill. Produced under Dipti Talpade’s banner, the technical aspects of the film look exceptionally strong. The execution is further elevated by Shabbir Naik’s cinematography, Hitesh Modak’s music, Abhishek Sheth’s editing, and Mahableshwar Narvekar’s screenplay and dialogues.

​Infusing the emotional world of motherhood with the sharp edge of struggle, and giving the fight for justice a deep emotional grounding, Mardini is now all set to hit the silver screen. Telling a highly anticipated story of a mother’s strength, love, and determination, this Marathi film is scheduled for a grand release across Maharashtra on July 3, 2026. Following the trailer launch, public curiosity has reached its peak.

1991’s golden era: Alka Kubal and the miracle of Maherchi Sadi:

When Maherchi Sadi released in 1991, it shattered all records in Marathi cinema. Veteran actress Alka Kubal, who played the lead, made history with a powerful and sensitive performance.
An overwhelming response from women viewers: The film received unprecedented acclaim from across Maharashtra, especially from female audiences.

Ties of tears:

Alka Kubal’s portrayal of a patient, self-sacrificing daughter-in-law struck such a deep chord that tears welled up in moviegoers’ eyes everywhere. It was more than a family drama; it became a celebration of emotions in households across the state.

A new chapter in 2026:

Snehal Tarde’s commanding performance in Deuḷ Band 2
Cinema has changed with the times, but the Marathi heart and its admiration for strong acting remain the same. The release of Deuḷ Band 2 on 21 May 2026 reaffirmed that truth. Lead actress Snehal Tarde stunned viewers with an exceptional performance.
All of Maharashtra cried again: Known for her versatility, Snehal Tarde brought to life an intensely vivid and emotional role that made audiences release their feelings while watching the film.
Powerful and affecting acting: Like Alka Kubal, Snehal Tarde has succeeded in drawing audiences—especially women—back to the theaters with her performance.

Whether it’s the family-values celebration of Maherchi Sadi or Deuḷ Band 2’s contemporary blend of faith and feeling, both actresses proved that when acting comes from the heart, it strikes directly at the audience’s soul.

Speaking further, he said, “The digital relaunch of ‘Savitri Bai Jyotirao Phule’ could serve as a model for many producers. This effort has received support from multiple levels, and numerous dignitaries and well-wishers have extended their good wishes. There is definite positive sentiment and excitement around the project. Digital platforms offer broader opportunities for expression and presentation, so we can convey the story to viewers in a more effective way. We also plan to raise this issue in Parliament in the future,” Dr. Kolhe indicated.

“For now, the series will premiere first on the popular YouTube channel ‘Marathi Varsha.’ We plan to expand gradually to other digital platforms. Each platform will have its own strategy, and decisions will be made at the appropriate time. We also intend to dub the series into five other major Indian languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, English, and Bengali — to reach audiences across the country,” he added.
Noting that digital media reduce distance between artists and producers, Dr. Kolhe said, “We have launched an audition tab on our YouTube platform to provide opportunities to emerging and talented artists from across Maharashtra. This will allow artists to connect with us directly without any intermediaries.”

Emphasizing a commitment to creativity, he said the digital revival of the series underscores its importance and remarked that ‘Savitri Bai Jyotirao Phule’ is no longer just our series — it has become a series for all of Maharashtra. “With the aim of opening new avenues in Marathi entertainment for meaningful, people-centered content, we believe this initiative will inspire many creative experiments in the future,” Dr. Amol Kolhe concluded.

The first poster has already sent social media into a frenzy. Drenched in blood, dressed in red, and locking eyes with the viewer through an intense, unsettling gaze, Adah Sharma looks completely unrecognisable. Inspired by true events, Gajra hints at a dark, disturbing and emotionally charged story that audiences won’t be able to look away from.

Known for constantly reinventing herself, Adah has built a career on choosing wildly different roles. She terrified audiences in 1920, delivered a powerful performance in The Kerala Story, showcased high-octane action in Commando, made viewers laugh in Sunflower, and won praise for her quirky turn in Reeta Sanyal. In Telugu cinema too, films like Heart Attack and Kshanam established her as a fan favourite, with audiences instantly connecting to her unique screen presence.

With a massive fan following across India and a reputation as one of the industry’s most versatile actresses, Adah Sharma’s entry into Marathi cinema has instantly become one of the biggest casting stories of the year. Fans have been flooding social media with excitement ever since she shared a video yesterday announcing that she would finally be doing a Marathi film—a promise she had made after receiving immense love from Marathi audiences for The Kerala Story.

From a ₹375 crore blockbuster to what could be her most unrecognisable role yet, Adah’s transformation into Gajra is already creating tremendous anticipation. If the first poster is anything to go by, Gajra could be another unforgettable addition to Adah Sharma’s ever-growing list of bold, unconventional and daring roles—and perhaps the start of a powerful new chapter in Marathi cinema.

Marathi cinema has produced many powerful stories, and “Ek Hota Malin” aims to join those ranks. Notably, Raju Rane spoke directly with Malin villagers and used their firsthand accounts to shape the screenplay. After months of discussion and intense effort by the Navya Dama (new vigor) team, the film is now ready for viewers on July 24.
