A firebrand cartoonist who minced no words, Balasaheb Thackeray was the one man who made the Common Man into Superman. With him, a generation, a state, and a nation found an expression… an expression that transformed into a movement — an awakening.
The founding of Shiv Sena in 1966 saw the journalist become the voice of the masses through education, awareness, grassroot efforts, and fiery, empowering speeches. Balasaheb Thackeray’s energy ignited the fervor of the Marathi Manoos, making the common man realize his importance in the complex weave of the Indian fabric. This movement helped the masses realize their self-esteem and self-worth, working towards strengthening the integrity of the nation. This movie is about Babasaheb’s journey from as a Cartoonist working in FreePress Journal in 1960s to his Rise as The Supreme Leader of Shivsena n leading the party to power in 1995.
