The Marathi language biographical film Sanghasrh Yoddha Manoj Jarange Patil, based on the life of an activist of Maratha quota rights, Manoj Jarange Patil, hit the theatres on June 14. Helmed by Shivaji Doltade and produced by Govardhan Doltade under Sonai Films Creation, the film featured Rohan Patil in the lead role. The other cast members of the film include Gayathri Jadhav, Mohan Joshi, Sandeep Pathak, Suresh Vishwakarma, Sagar Karande, Shubhangi Latkar and Shrinivas Pokale.
Talking about the collection, the film has been struggling at the box office since its release. On its 2nd Friday, as per a report by Sacknilk, the film minted just Rs 2 lakh, taking the film’s total one-week collection to Rs 53 lakh, Net India.
On the opening day, the film minted Rs 8 lakh, followed by Rs 9 lakh on the second day and Rs 16 lakh on the third. The film’s first weekend Net India collection was Rs 33 Lakh.
Sanghasrh Yoddha Manoj Jarange Patil is reportedly made at a budget of Rs 4 crore. It was slated to hit the theatres on April 26, 2024, but was shifted to June due to the Lok Sabha elections. It received the Censor Board’s approval without any objections to its scenes.
The film was majorly shot in the Jalana district of Maharashtra. Also, a few portions have been shot in Mumbai.
The film is written and backed by Govardhan Doltade. Sudhir Nikam has written the screenplay and dialogue. Sonai Film Creations backed the project.
Talking about Manoj Jarange Patil, he hails from the Mantori Village in the Beed district of Maharashtra. He initially joined the Maratha reservation movement with the Indian National Congress 15 years ago and participated in several marches and protests. He also sold 2.5 acres of agricultural land out of his four acres to meet his daily needs.
Following the Supreme Court’s 2021 decision to invalidate the Maratha reservation quota, Jarange-Patil protested across the state, including a three-month agitation in Sasht-Pimpalgaon in Jalna district, where hundreds of people joined him.
He gathered all the eyeballs during a hunger strike in September last year in Ataravali-Sarate village.
