Mee Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy (2009)

Dinkar Maruti Bhosale represents thousands of 'Marathis' who feel they have lost their identity in cosmopolitan Mumbai. Dinkar feels Mumbai is in Maharashtra but there is no Maharashtra left in Mumbai. He always complains about the lack of respect a Marathi receives in Mumbai, feels he is victimized everywhere because he is a Marathi, little realizing that he himself has brought this situation upon himself. Matters go from bad to worse and in a state of sheer frustration Dinkar gets up one day cursing himself for being born a Marathi. He feels his 500 ancestors must have committed a heinous crime for him to be born a Marathi. This outbust of Dinkar reaches Pratapgad and the spirit of Shivaji Maharaj is aroused. Dinkar has to now face a seething Shivaji Maharaj, who is furious at him. Shivaji Maharaj fires Dinkar for his Shallow thinking. Tells him he has to command respect, and not demand it. Blames his thinking for the sorry state of Marathi's. "Before blaming other communities for your short comings, look within and see if you have done anything to keep the Marathi pride intact," he roars. Dinkar realizes his mistake but do Shivaji Maharaj's thoughts arouse him to rectify his mistakes? Does the Marathi pride surface again? 'Me Shivajiraje Bhosale boltoy...!' has all the answers. A truly amazing story of an underdogs fight against the evil in society, to re-instate his identity and keep his pride.
