Plot edit

Three years later, when Shivaji's coronation to be held, Shivaji (Chinmay Mandlekar) wishes that he is crowned only when his kingdom and his people have peace and security. Panhala fort is still under the command of a cruel general, Beshak Khan, of the Adil Shah of Bijapur, whose forces harass the peasantry. The previous attempt to capture the fort in 1666, which he had held briefly in 1660 had failed. To recapture the fort, a mission is planned and Shivaji appoints Kondaji Farzand (Ankit Mohan) general for the mission. Farzand picks 60 soldiers for an assault on the fort defended by the 2500-strong garrison. Bahirji Naik (Prasad Oak), the spy, and an informer Kesar (Mrunmayee Deshpande) helped in defeating 2500 soldiers of the enemy to win the Panhala fort in just three and half hours.

Reception edit

Critical response edit

Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India rated the film with three and a half stars out of five and praised the casting. She noted that it lent credibility to this Marathi period film. Mentioning Ankit Mohan, Chinmay Mandlekar, Prasad Oak, Mrunmayee Deshpande and Mrinal Kulkarni, she praised their acting. She felt that lack of scale and Visual effects, was made up by performances and intent. Concluding, she said, "Farzand turns out to be more informative than entertaining, but it does manage to fairly engage you, even more if you happen to be a history enthusiast, a vigilante or a rebel with a cause."[7] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror gave the film three stars out of five, concurring with Vyavahare he praised the ensemble. He criticized the clean approach to the film as he noted, "But as we see them entering the fort and even in the middle of a fight, there isn’t a spot of dirt on their bright uniforms." He concluded, "Farzand is an ambitious, but old-school film which promises an engrossing experience, if you are willing to adjust your expectations."[8] Lokmat rated the film with three and half stars out of five.[9] Abhay Salvi of Marathi Stars rated the film with three and half stars out of five and noted, "For all Maharaj devotees Farzand is the film they were waiting for! And for other Marathi audiences too for the first time you could experience a spirited historical epic that has great performances & which also shies away from too much jingoism."[10]
