Sant Tukaram: A spiritual epic starring Subodh Bhave set for July 2025 release

In a powerful blend of devotion and cinematic storytelling, Curzon Films, in association with Purushottam Studios, has announced their most ambitious project yet — Sant Tukaram. Slated for a worldwide theatrical release on July 18, 2025, the film promises to be a stirring exploration of the legendary 17th-century saint-poet who turned bhakti into a form of resistance. Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Aditya Om, the film is headlined by celebrated Marathi actor Subodh Bhave, who essays the titular role of Sant Tukaram. Known for his emotionally layered performances, Bhave is expected to deliver a portrayal that captures both the spiritual essence and human vulnerability of the revered saint. Set against the richly textured backdrop of 17th-century Maharashtra, the film will trace Tukaram's evolution — from a grief-stricken family man to a spiritual icon whose Abhanga poetry became a voice for the voiceless. It's not just a biopic but a deeply immersive narrative of spiritual rebellion, silent strength, and timeless truth. The film features a formidable supporting cast including Sanjay Mishra, Arun Govil, Sheena Chohan, Shishir Sharma, Hemant Pandey, Ganesh Yadav, Lalit Tiwari, Mukesh Bhatt, Gauri Shankar, and Twinkle Kapoor, among others. Lending a majestic voice to the film is veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, who serves as the philosophical narrator. The soundtrack, rooted in the Abhanga tradition, is composed by Nikhil Kamath, Ravi Tripathi, and Veeral & Laavan, blending classical and folk influences to heighten the film's devotional and emotional undertones. Produced by B. Gautham under Curzon Films in collaboration with Purushottam Studios, Sant Tukaram is envisioned as a pan-India theatrical experience, aiming to transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries.

Subodh Bhave: Every Indian should be aware of their own culture and heritage

Subodh Bhave, one of Marathi cinema's most acclaimed actors, is known for choosing characters that leave a lasting impact. From the layered performance in 'Vaalvi ' to the grandeur of 'Balgandharva ' and emotionally rich roles in 'Ani Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar ' and 'Katyar Kaljat Ghusli, ' Subodh's career is a tapestry of versatile and meaningful portrayals. His latest film, 'His Story of Itihaas,' sees him stepping into the shoes of a teacher—one who dares to question systemic narratives and probe deeper into the truths of our past. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, Subodh reflects on how the film affected him personally and where it stands in his long, illustrious journey. 'It was a learning experience for me as well.' When asked if playing this questioning, insightful teacher changed his outlook toward education or history, Subodh shared, 'After playing this character, I learned a lot—many new facts and insights. It was a learning experience for me personally too.' He believes that there is a profound difference between reading history in school and truly understanding it. 'As Manpreet says in the film, reading history is one thing, but connecting with it—really understanding it—makes us feel closer to our ancestors. That connection is very important,' he added. The role, he said, helped him 'demystify a lot of things' and opened up new perspectives. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Own A Barrel of Whisky With Average Annual Returns of 10.15%* Whisky Investors Download Undo 'Every Indian should be aware of their own culture and heritage.'

This film raises questions about our identity, and every Indian should be aware of their own culture and heritage,' he emphasized. Subodh also praised the recent move by the Government of India to include more aspects of India's real history in school textbooks. 'That's a great step,' he said, hinting that cinema, education, and cultural introspection must walk hand-in-hand. With this film, Subodh Bhave once again proves that he's not just a performer, but also a thinker—an artist who uses his craft to reflect, question, and engage with society's deeper truths.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The makers released the Poster of the film on their social media. At the center is lead actor Subodh Bhave, portrayed as a contemplative and determined father, his hands clenched in thought, seated against a backdrop of a massive wall of books symbolizing both knowledge and the weight of history. Standing in front of him is his daughter in uniform, evoking innocence and the next generation whose perception of history is at stake. The tagline 'Brainwashed by history textbooks' underlines the film's central theme. Director Manpreet Singh Dhami shared, 'This is not just a film for me- it's my passion project, something I have lived and breathed for over four years. Before a single frame was shot, I spent years researching, reading, questioning, and shaping the core of this story. It emerged from a place of deep personal curiosity and concern about what we're taught, what we choose to remember, and how those narratives shape our identity as a society. I believe the film will strike a chord with anyone who has ever questioned the truth they've been handed. I truly cannot wait for the audience - the janta, to witness it on the big screen and hopefully walk away with questions, insights, and a renewed sense of inquiry." Produced by Manpreet Singh Dhami, founder of Panchkarma Films, the movie brings together a compelling narrative, powerful performances, and a timely message that resonates with the current social climate. His Story of Itihaas is more than just a film - it is a bold statement about education, legacy, and the fight for truth in a world where narratives are often manipulated.
