As a producer, I have always believed that cinema has the power to preserve culture, start conversations, and remind us of who we are. This film was made with immense love and an unwavering belief in its message - that education in one’s mother tongue is not just about language, but about identity, confidence, and cultural continuity. Seeing the film now travel from cinemas to a global platform like Marathi ZEE5 is incredibly special. It means the story will continue to live, reach newer audiences, and hopefully inspire pride in our roots while encouraging thoughtful dialogue about the future of regional education.”

I’m thrilled that audiences worldwide will now experience this journey on Marathi ZEE5.”

Marathi-medium schools are not just institutions - they are spaces where values are shaped, confidence is built, and cultural roots are strengthened. The film beautifully captures that emotional connection while also addressing the very real challenges these institutions face today. The overwhelming response we received in theatres was incredibly encouraging, and I genuinely believe that with its digital premiere, the film will reach even more families and spark meaningful conversations about preserving our language, embracing progress, and finding balance between the two.”

There is warmth and authenticity in Marathi storytelling that feels intimate and honest, and I’m grateful that my first step into this space is with a film that carries such an important and relevant message.
