Sant Tukaram Shows Cancelled In Pune Amid Protests, Makers Address Financial Loss
The film 'Sant Tukaram' is facing resistance in Pune, with shows cancelled due to objections from the Sant Tukaram Sansthan.
The recently released film 'Sant Tukaram' is facing resistance from a certain section of the audience. The film's shows in Pune have been cancelled after a commotion. The cancellation of shows comes in the wake of the concerns raised by the Sant Tukaram Sansthan.
Talking about the same, director Aditya Om said, 'In Pune city, the majority of shows of the film 'Sant Tukaram' have been disrupted. The disruptions come in the wake of objections raised by the Sant Tukaram Sansthan, following which the Pune Police have issued an advisory".
'Sant Tukaram' is touted to be an ode to the 17th-century saint-poet whose devotional verses redefined resistance and spirituality. The film charts his evolution and his soul-stirring Abhanga compositions.
Aditya further mentioned, 'The advisory states that, in view of the concerns raised by the Sant Tukaram Sansthan, cinema halls across Pune city have been alerted and advised to take necessary precautions to avoid any untoward incidents. As a result, most theaters have decided to cancel the film's shows. It is important to note that the film was granted a U certificate by the Censor Board without any cuts. This entire situation has directly impacted the film's screenings, causing significant financial losses to the makers".
The film's writer and director have stated that 'Sant Tukaram' has been made with complete devotion, with the sole purpose of spreading the values and teachings.
The film stars Subodh Bhave, Arun Govil, Shishir Sharma, Sanjay Mishra, Shiva Suryavanshi, Sheena Chohan, Hemant Pandey, Ganesh Yadav, Lalit Tiwari, Mukesh Bhatt, Gauri Shankar, Twinkle Kapoor, Rupali Jadhav, and DJ Akbar Sami.
Presented by Curzon Films in association with Purushottam Studios, and backed by producer B. Gautham, 'Sant Tukaram' is currently playing in theaters.

BTS Fan? 5 Iconic Songs By Boy Band You Need To Hear Now
Published By : Kashvi Raj Singh Trending Desk Last Updated: July 28, 2025, 15:51 IST BTS will release a new album in 2026. (Photo Credit: Instagram) With the Hallyu wave taking over the world, one name that is leading the charge is none other than the K-pop supergroup BTS, also known as Bangtan Boys. Formed in 2013 under BigHit Entertainment (now HYBE), the group has become one of the most prominent names in the music industry. Consisting of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, BTS enjoys a fan following in millions, if not billions, across the globe. Following the completion of their mandatory military service, the septet is busy making their brand-new album, scheduled to be released sometime in the first half of 2026, if all goes well. And if you can't wait for the new songs, we suggest you revisit some of their old hits. Here are five BTS songs that you need to add to your Spotify playlist. N.O Also known as 'No Offence', the song was released in 2013 as the lead single of their first EP O!RUL8,2? (Oh! Are You Late, too?). Through this hip-hop song, the group questions Korea's take on education. They asked their peers not to be forced into following their parents' dreams. Instead, encouraged them to stand up for themselves and have their own dreams. Attack On Bangtan Another song from O!RUL8,2? (Oh! Are You Late, too?) It is one of their anthemic songs, which was released in 2013. The title is a playful nod to the popular anime Attack on Titan. The lyrics of the song are bold and full of confidence, as the group sings about their determination to succeed in the music scene. Run The lead single from their fourth EP, titled The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2, was released in 2015. The lyrics of this rock song encourage its fans to persevere, rising up and running every time they are knocked down by obstacles in their path. BTS also tell everyone that it's alright to make mistakes. I Need U One of the tracks on their third EP, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Part 1, I Need U explores the theme of pain and confusion in a toxic love. Through the lyrics, they sing about how they are being ruined by the love and want for that person, and want them out of their lives. Make It Right A song on BTS' 2019 EP Map of the Soul: Persona, 'Make It Right," is a collaboration between the septet and Lauv, co-written by Ed Sheeran. Through the song, the group sings about making the world a better place and their desire to give it back to someone who helped them find their way. In this case, it is interpreted as their way of showing appreciation to their ardent fans. Kashvi Raj Singh Kashvi Raj Singh is a Sub Editor at News18.
