The film addresses the sensitive issue of farmer suicides and explores the conflict between faith and atheism.[8][9]

The film was theatrically released on 21 May 2026.[10] It received a mainly positive response, with reviewers praising the performances and the film’s social commentary on farmer suicides. At the box office, the film emerged as a surprise hit,[2] crossing ₹84.65 crore at the box office, becoming the second highest-grossing Marathi film of 2026 and the fourth highest-grossing Marathi film of all time.[2][11]

Plot

The film revolves around Sangeeta Paygude, a farmer woman struggling with grief and hardship. The story begins near a riverside cremation ground, where a devastated Sangeeta emotionally calls out to God, pleading for divine intervention in her troubled life. In a moment of anger and despair, she throws a stone at an anthill shrine, after which she experiences a vision of Shri Swami Samarth.

Swami Samarth begins accompanying Sangeeta on her journey back to her village along with her brother-in-law and Rafiq. However, the saint is visible only to Sangeeta, causing others around her to believe that she may have lost her mental balance or is speaking to someone unseen. As the journey progresses, the narrative explores themes of faith, suffering, superstition and emotional conflict.
