Indian cinema has reached another significant landmark! The Marathi feature ‘#Gondhal’ has been selected as India’s official entry to the Oscars, sparking widespread pride and celebration across the film fraternity. Joining the wave of appreciation, actress Mrunal Thakur took to her social media handle to celebrate Gondhal’s Oscar selection and showered warm praise on director Santosh Davakhar for this impressive achievement.

“Marathi cinema at the Oscars! What a moment of pride. Congratulations Santosh Davakhar sir and the entire team of Gondhal,” she penned on her social media handle.

Earlier, Gondhal also earned a significant recognition at the International Film Festival of India. Its official entry at the Oscars not only brings with it glorious pride but also marks a milestone for Marathi cinema at the Academy Awards. The film was selected from a list of 33 contenders, with P Seshadri serving as the chairperson of the selection committee. Now, Gondhal becomes the fourth Marathi film to be chosen as India’s official Oscar entry, following ‘Shwaas’ (2005), ‘Harishchandrachi Factory’ (2009) and ‘Court’ (2015).

And Mrunal Thakur’s sweet note for the film and its team simply reflects the linguistic union that Indian cinema is all about!

There’s something inherently captivating about a golden outfit—it commands attention, exudes opulence, and guarantees a head-turning entrance. Whether rendered in classic silk tissue sarees or contemporary heavily-embellished Indo-western silhouettes, the metallic shine does all the talking. These leading actresses have demonstrated how to pull off gold with sheer elegance and confidence:

Mrunal Thakur: #MrunalThakur looks straight out of a regal frame in a golden outfit by Aditi Gupta, an ensemble that features a pleated skirt and a worked-up blouse. What adds character to the attire is the tissue cape that completes the ensemble alongside a choker, rings and traditional mojaris.

Sung by Mika Singh and Asees Kaur, written by Vayu, and composed by White Noise Collectives, ‘Vyah Karwado Ji’ has the kind of hook that earns its place on every sangeet playlist before the season even begins.

White Noise Collectives, composer, said, “With this track, we wanted to create a sound that feels grand yet instantly catchy. ‘Vyah Karwado Ji’ is designed to bring people to the dance floor; it has the energy of a big fat Indian wedding with a fresh, contemporary twist.”

The film is being appreciated for its intense action-drama and the romance at its core. The standout ensemble cast, featuring Mrunal Thakur, Anurag Kashyap, Zayn Marie Khan, and others, has also left a strong impression with their performances.

Audience response to the fresh pairing of #AdiviSesh and #MrunalThakur has been particularly positive, with the music further adding to the film’s appeal.

With strong word of mouth, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is expected to witness growth over the weekend and emerge as a preferred theatrical pick for moviegoers.

Haridas aka Hari (#AdiviSesh) and Saraswati aka Juliet (#MrunalThakur) are madly in love with each other. Hari, being from a lower caste, and Saraswati, from a higher caste, create tension within the girl’s family. After one violent night, where Saraswati’s brother is killed, she blames Hari, and he is sentenced to life imprisonment. He seeks to escape jail to punish Saraswati for testifying against him. He breaks out to settle the score but gets entangled in an emotional web and ultimately decides to help Saraswati, who is struggling to arrange money for her husband’s hospitalization. What transpires thereafter forms the crux of the story.

The story concept is strong, but the lethargic and scattered screenplay fails to create the desired impact. Director Shaneil Deo’s direction picks up pace, especially in the second half. The cinematography is excellent, though the editing could have been tighter. The music is good.
Adivi Sesh displays a variety of emotions and impresses with his rugged avatar, carrying the film well on his shoulders. Mrunal Thakur once again proves what an excellent performer she is, excelling in all situations and emoting beautifully. Anurag Kashyap and Prakash Raj lend solid support.

Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet–style violent love story that could have been presented more effectively.

Adding a playful twist to promotions, their recent collaboration with Rakesh Bedi proved a clever move, using humor to announce the advance booking, further heightening fans eagerness to watch the film on the big screen.

_Marking Shaneil Deo’s directorial debut, the ambitious project is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios. Shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, the film’s story and screenplay have been jointly crafted by Sesh and Shaneil Deo. Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is all set for a grand pan-India theatrical release on 10th April 2026.
