India's first full-scale historical and the Maharashtra Studio's costliest film to date.

Maratha emperor Shivaji (Painter) and his lieutenant, the folk hero Tanaji Malusare (Yadav) . It features Tanaji's invasion of Fort Sinhagad in the dead of night, using his pet lizard to run up the wall with a rope, and his death in victory.
