The Marathi film industry is set to welcome an exciting new release, “Galli No. 13”, which has already sparked curiosity among audiences. The first official poster of the film was recently unveiled in a well-attended event, signalling the beginning of this much-anticipated cinematic journey.
The poster launch saw the presence of several dignitaries, including senior leader Sampatrao Sakale, Samadhan Bodke Patil, Yuvraj Appa Kothule, Navnath Nana Kothule, Dilip Chavan, Shivaji Kasbe, Bhairu Patil Mulane, as well as producers Ramnath Bodke and Rajshri Badgujar, director Mahendra Rambhau Borkar, Sameer Dixit from Pickle Entertainment, writer Dr. S. D. Patil, and music composer Rohit Nagbhide.
“Galli No. 13” is presented by RB Cinematics in association with Pickle Entertainment. Produced by Ramnath Bodke and Rajshri Badgujar, this marks the first production venture for RB Cinematics under Bodke’s leadership. Bodke has been actively involved in social and cultural initiatives, bringing a fresh perspective to Marathi cinema.
Director Mahendra Rambhau Borkar has taken charge of the film’s direction, screenplay, and dialogues. With a rich background in Marathi and Hindi television writing, as well as books in Marathi, Hindi, and English, Borkar has established a reputation for storytelling that balances emotion and entertainment. His acclaimed book, Beautifying Relations, has earned the Golden Book Award.
The poster itself is visually striking, featuring the protagonist standing with his back to the viewer, dressed in a stylish jacket. A lightning-like effect behind him creates a dramatic sense of duality, while the cityscape adds an element of mystery. The poster leaves the storyline largely to the imagination, heightening intrigue.
“Galli No. 13” is expected to resonate with both youth and older generations. The story explores themes of family values, love, contemporary social dynamics, and personal dreams. Director Borkar emphasises that the film examines pure love from different perspectives, aiming to evoke nostalgia and emotional engagement while keeping audiences entertained.
With music composed by Rohit Nagbhide, choreography by Pragya Patil, and post-production by APH Studio, the film promises a complete entertainment package. The cast is currently being finalised, and shooting is expected to commence soon.
“Galli No. 13” combines emotion, culture, and youthful energy, positioning itself as a must-watch for Marathi film audiences in 2026.
