Ajay Devgn’s upcoming Bollywood film on Tanaji Malusare can prove to be another addition to the list. Its high time Indian films looked inwards for great stories instead of seeking inspiration from elsewhere and Farzand is a testament to that. The film’s story leads up to this iconic feat at Panhala along with giving us a glimpse into the leadership of Shivaji Maharaj, his beliefs, morals, values, concern for women’s safety and trademark war strategies like ganimi kawa (guerrilla warfare). This mission entailed the special 60 to scale the dangerously steep end of the Sahyadri mountain range and create an illusion of being a full-fledged army. Shivaji chose Kondaji Farzand to take charge of this near impossible task of capturing the impenetrable Panhalgad. The king vowed to overthrow the Adilshahi reign in Panhala, owing to their atrocities on locals. Review: Despite knowing that they would be outnumbered by the Adilshahi army of Bijapur, the mavalas chose to put their lives on the line for Shivaji and Swarajya. Story: This historical film pays tribute to the unsung hero of the Maratha empire - Sardar Kondaji Farzand, Shivaji Maharaj’s braveheart and disciple of the great Tanaji Malusare, who managed to conquer the fort of Panhala from the reigns of the Adilshahi empire, against all odds with just a bunch of 60 mavalas.
