The music of the film was officially launched by Maharashtra’s Minister for Cultural Affairs, Shri Ashish Shelar. The minister also felicitated the film’s team — artists and technicians — for their contribution. While addressing the gathering, Shri Shelar said, “Our culture’s foundation and the essence of Maharashtra’s soil lie in the thoughts of our saints. Director #DigpalLanjekar and his team deserve praise for beautifully conveying these saintly teachings through cinema. It’s a divine coincidence that this film releases during the 750th birth anniversary year of Saint Dnyaneshwar. There’s hardly anyone in the world unaware of Saint Tukaram Maharaj’s greatness. When words are touched by divine faith, they transform into ‘vaani’. The abhangas penned and sung by Saint Tukaram became vibrations of ‘Naadbrahma,’ evoking a sense of ‘Brahmanand’ (spiritual bliss) in the listener. This film will hold a special place for Maharashtra, the world, and everyone who believes in the saint tradition. May this film inspire spiritual awakening among all citizens. When willpower and divine energy unite, the cymbals of bliss will resound.” He concluded by offering prayers at Lord Vitthal’s feet for the success of the film.

Mambaji was one of the foremost opponents of Saint Tukaram, unable to tolerate his growing influence and popularity. He constantly found ways to harass the saint. Such was his depravity that Saint Tukaram’s ardent disciple Bahinabai described him as “Like the sting of a scorpion — wickedness embodied.”

Speaking about his role, Ajay Purkar shares, “Most of my previous roles have been of positive nature. Each of them received immense love from the audience.

Centuries later, verses from this Gatha still live on in the daily speech of Marathi people — in the form of sayings, proverbs, and poetic lines. Even after 350 years, Sant Tukaram continues to inspire and dwell among us through his immortal creations.

To take this philosophy to the younger generation, acclaimed filmmaker Digpal Lanjekar is bringing a brand-new cinematic experience titled Abhang Tukaram, set to release on November 7. The film is presented by Panorama Studios.

The movie depicts one of the most emotionally stirring and historically significant episodes from #SantTukarams life — when the religious custodians of the time ordered that his Abhang Gatha be drowned in the Indrayani River. Tukaram calmly accepted the challenge and submerged his writings in the waters. But how did these sacred verses resurface? What message did this miraculous event convey? And what sacrifices did society make out of sheer devotion and love for Sant Tukaram? ‘Abhang Tukaram’ promises to portray these moments with both thrilling drama and deep emotion.

The recently unveiled motion teaser shows this visually striking moment — sheets of abhangs floating upward along with the river’s ripples, while a silhouetted Sant Tukaram stands with his arms raised toward the sky. In the background, the rising sun casts rays of hope, accompanied by a soulful choral rendition of his timeless composition “Jethe Jato Tethe Tu Maza Sangati”. The visuals culminate with the grand title Abhang Tukaram forming across the sky, underlining the eternal nature of the saint’s creations.

The story and dialogues are penned by noted writer Yogesh Soman, while Digpal Lanjekar — known for his deep study of the Warkari tradition in his earlier film Sant Dnyaneshwaranchi Muktai — handles the screenplay and direction. Music, the soul of any such film, plays a vital role here, with the inclusion of ten classic abhangs. The soundtrack is composed by acclaimed singer–music director Avadhoot Gandhi, who had earlier delivered a memorable musical score for Sant Dnyaneshwaranchi Muktai.

With its rich spiritual theme, epic visuals, and soul-stirring music, Abhang Tukaram is set to be a deeply moving cinematic tribute to the eternal words of the saint — one that promises to resonate with audiences across generations.
