May 18 saw the first look of “The Maharashtra Files” – a Marathi political drama that’s being pushed onto screens on May 29, 2026. The trailer is short, about three minutes, but it packs a punch.
Directed by Sanjivkumar Rathod, the film dives into a dark world where corruption runs deep. It opens with a proposed 40‑km, four‑lane national highway. That plan becomes the spark for a big clash – farmers on one side, determined to save their land, and on the other, politicians, officials and rich businessmen who bend the rules for profit.
Viewers get a quick glimpse of angry farmers, unfair compensation, suspicious deaths and a hard‑hitting dialogue that asks why the rich keep getting richer while the common man struggles. The tone feels bold, unapologetic – a typical “Files” franchise vibe, but without Vivek Agnihotri at the helm.
The cast is a mix of seasoned Marathi actors and a few pan‑Indian faces. Mangesh Desai, Usha Nadkarni and Sayaji Shinde lead the ensemble. Adding extra buzz are appearances by Sunny Leone, Sapna Chaudhary and Gautami Patil. Nagesh Bhosale also features in a supporting role.
Beyond the highway plot, the trailer hints at themes of power misuse, land disputes and the relentless fight of labourers against a system that favours the elite. There’s no neat wrap‑up in the clip – just a feeling that the battle will keep unfolding.
So, if you’re curious about a hard‑hitting political thriller that tackles corruption head‑on, keep an eye on the release date – May 29, 2026. The film is set to hit theatres across Maharashtra and, likely, other regions soon after.
