The film follows Vijay (Ranbir Kapoor), a man with a complex and toxic relationship with his father (Anil Kapoor). Rashmika Mandanna also joins the cast to play the female lead. The supporting cast includes Triptii Dimri, Saurabh Sachdeva and Shakti Kapoor. Despite its commercial success, the film faced backlash for being 'misogynistic", sparking debate among Internet users.

Calling the film 'raw, real and correct," she added, 'He's messed up in the head and will go to any lengths for his father, which was engraved in my mind when I shot for the film. Nobody can do anything about it, it's his story. If you want films to be raw, real and correct, Animal is that. After watching it, to say it's misogynistic or whatever…if you enjoyed it, just leave it." Animal was released in theatres in December 2023.

Filmmaker Ashish Bende won the best debut film by a director for Aatmapamphlet, a coming-of-age drama that resonated with audiences and the jury alike. Overwhelmed by the recognition, Bende said, "Getting a national award was always a dream for me, but I did not know that my dream would be realised in my directorial debut. Though it is an award for direction, I feel that it is not a solo award but an award for the entire team of Aatmapamphlet. The film was made during the Covid-19 pandemic with a lot of effort, and today all those efforts have paid off." Bende will receive the Swarna Kamal for this award. He added, "The Marathi film industry has a long legacy of quality films, and today I feel proud that I am part of this rich tradition. The award will personally encourage me to keep doing quality work." A sequel to the much-loved Naal, Naal 2, directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, which won best children's film in the children's film category, impressed the audience with its sincerity and strong performances by its young cast. Its child actors — Treesha Thosar, Shrinivas Pokale, and Bhargav Jagtap — were jointly honoured with the best child artist award, alongside Kabir Khandare for his role in another Marathi film, Gypsy. The film, Gypsy, was praised at various film festivals. The film's director, Shashi Chandrakant Khandare, said: "Kabir is inherently a very talented actor, and he is deeply passionate about acting. He also possesses great patience and endurance, which are essential for acting. During the shoot, we were filming in nearly 42-degrees heat near Solapur. According to his character, he didn't wear slippers in some of the early scenes. For almost 12 consecutive days, he walked barefoot through forests, barren fields, tar roads, and villages — without ever showing the slightest sign of pain on his face." The award for best Marathi feature film was announced for Shyamchi Aai, directed by Sujay Sunil Dahake. The film is based on the childhood of freedom fighter and writer Sane Guruji and is inspired by his autobiographical classic. Set in pre-Independence India, Shyamchi Aai is a moving portrayal of a mother's love through the eyes of her son. The film is also a creative reimagining of the 1953 classic of the same name. With three major awards — for debut direction, children's cinema, and regional feature — Marathi cinema has reaffirmed its cultural depth and artistic excellence at the national level. These wins not only celebrate past legacies but also pave the way for a promising future in regional storytelling.
