New Delhi. The Marathi film ‘Bappan Bhari Deva’ released this year created a new record at the box office. Without a big star and a big budget, the film did what even big mega budget films could not do. After that came Johnny Lever and Shweta Gulati’s film ‘Aflatoon’ and even this low budget film got a lot of love from the audience. This period is considered the best period of Marathi film industry. In such a situation, today we are going to tell you about a Marathi film released 7 years ago which broke all records in terms of earnings and popularity.
The movie we are talking about here today is the 2016 movie ‘Sairat’. Without a big star, the film created a buzz at the box office. Two new actors entered the Marathi film industry with this film and interestingly, two new actors also debuted in Bollywood with the Hindi remake of this film. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Jhanvi Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s brother Ishaan Khattar started their Bollywood career with ‘Dhadak’, the Hindi remake of ‘Sairat’.
The 2016 film ‘Sairat’ featured Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar in lead roles. When this film was released, the lead actress of this film was studying in school. At a young age, Rinku shocked everyone with her energetic performance on screen. Even the audience could not stop shedding tears when casteism and honor killing prevalent in the society for years were brilliantly portrayed on screen.
Earned 25 times more than the tax budget
Director Nagaraj Manjule brilliantly tackled the serious issues of casteism and honor killing. With a great storyline and excellent acting, the film opened to huge crowds in the theaters when it hit the theaters. Made with a budget of just Rs 4 crore, the film broke all records and collected Rs 104 crore at the box office.

Along with earnings, there is another record in the name of ‘Sairat’, which no Marathi film has been able to break till date. The film has topped the list of most viewed Marathi films of all time. Let us tell you that on the second place in this list is Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza’s film ‘Wades’, which earned around 75 crore rupees at the box office.
