Director Altaf Dadasaheb Sheikh’s “Karmayogi Abasaheb” Thrives at the Box Office in its 5th Week

Director Altaf Dadasaheb Sheikh’s Marathi film Karmayogi Abasaheb continues its remarkable box-office success, earning ₹25.49 crore within five weeks of release. Based on the life of Shetkari Kamgar Party leader and former MLA Ganpatrao Deshmukh, affectionately known as Abasaheb, the movie has resonated deeply with audiences across Maharashtra despite competition from blockbusters like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

With a compelling script and emotionally gripping storytelling, Sheikh pays tribute to Abasaheb’s legacy, blending powerful dialogues with heartfelt moments. Actor Aniket Vishwasrao delivers a standout portrayal of the late leader, supported by a talented cast of 28 Marathi and Hindi actors. The soulful music, composed by Avadhoot Gupte, further enhances the cinematic experience.

Karmayogi Abasaheb has gained international acclaim, winning awards at prestigious festivals such as:

• Sweden Film Award 2024
• Tamizgam Film Festival
• Golden Lion International Film Festival 2024
• Navy International Film Festival

The film was also pre-screened at global festivals, including the Amsterdam Lift-Off and Crownwood International Film Festival, garnering widespread praise.

Produced by Mayakka Mauli Film Production and Mumbai Creation Enterprises, with Balasaheb Mahadev Erande and Maruti Tulshiram Bankar at the helm, the film’s worldwide release was managed by Reliance Entertainment.

Karmayogi Abasaheb has not only celebrated a legendary figure but also influenced contemporary politics, aiding Babasaheb Deshmukh, Ganpatrao Deshmukh’s grandson, in winning the 2024 MLA election.
Sheikh, known for acclaimed works like Veda BF, Break Down, and Dharavi Katta, proves his storytelling prowess once again with Karmayogi Abasaheb, cementing his reputation as a master filmmaker in Marathi cinema.
