The highly awaited biopic Phule, which depicts the lives and contributions of renowned social reformers Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, premiered in Mumbai on Thursday evening. The movie features Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa in the main roles, illustrating the groundbreaking couple who relentlessly fought against caste discrimination and gender inequality in 19th-century India. Directed by seasoned filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan, Phule seeks to highlight their lasting influence on Indian society, historically and in today's socio-political context.


The evening served not only as a film celebration but also as a time for respectful remembrance. The cast and crew wore black pin badges and held a moment of silence to honor the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. This gesture emphasized a profound message of solidarity and empathy, echoing the principles that the Phules represented throughout their lives.

The screening attracted a mix of Bollywood stars and industry icons, adding a dash of glamour to the socially aware occasion. Main actors Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa attended, with the latter joined by her husband, actor Rajkummar Rao. Additional guests included lyricist Javed Akhtar, actors Huma Qureshi, Abhishek Banerjee, Deepak Dobriyal, filmmaker Rahul Dholakia, and many others who united to support the film and its message.

Phule is co-produced by Dancing Shiva Films and Kingsmen Productions, with Zee Studios overseeing its theatrical release. With its impactful performances and touching narrative, the film is set to motivate a new generation to contemplate the issues of social justice, education, and equality—causes that the Phules ardently advocated over a century ago.
