The story of one of Maharashtra's most impactful artist
29 April 2023
Most people who know Shahir Sable know him as a prolific, famous singer, but the movie brings forth his contribution to not just Maharashtrian folk culture, but also to Maharashtra's and India's freedom struggle.

Along with donning multiple hats in the art field as a producer, director, writer, singer, Shahir Sable was also actively involved, initially, in India's freedom struggle with Sane Guruji, and later in Maharashtra's freedom struggle.

Shahir Sable's life from his days as young 'Kisna' in Pasarni to Padmashri Krishnarao Ganpatrao Sable is portrayed on screen with songs composed by Ajay-Atul interlaced with the story.

The songs and the background score beautifully blend with the screenplay. It's a treat to watch and listen to "Jay Jay Maharashtra Maaza..." at the end.

As was the case, unfortunately, with most artists in those days, Shahir Sable also had to go through a phase of financial difficulties while bringing his plays to life. However, it is Maharashtra's fortune that he diligently stuck to his vision and kept entertaining and educating the people, despite the hardships he endured, and today we can enjoy his contribution to art.
