Directed by Chhatrapal Ninave and produced by Shiladitya Bora, the film stars acclaimed actors Jitendra Joshi, Milind Shinde, Suruchi Adarkar, Dhananjay Mandaokar, and Janardan Kadam. The new year is off to a great start for film studio Platoon One Films, with their exciting new feature 'Ghaath' all set to make its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, one of the world's leading film festivals. 16-26 February 2023.

Written and directed by Chhatrapal Ninave in his debut, the film is a slow-burn thriller set on the edge of India's Maoist-infested jungles and revolves around tense interactions between guerrillas, civilians, and the police. Chhatrapal said, “It was a long, hard and adventurous journey, but I’m so honoured to finally be premiering our film at the Berlinale, home to so many artists that have inspired us along the way. Ghaath is a film about trust, betrayal and ambush. It is a thriller which goes deep into the jungles and deeper into the psyche of its characters. I’m grateful to Platoon One Films and Drishyam Films for having faith in our film, and I hope it finds its audience in Berlin, India and beyond.”

Actor Jitendra Joshi said, “Shooting on location in the jungles of central India was certainly difficult and challenging, but this incredible news makes it seem all worth it. The whole cast and crew worked so hard on the film – so it's a big win for the team, for Marathi cinema, and for Indian cinema as a whole.” Actor Milind Shinde said, “Ghaath is a very unique Marathi film, right from the subject to the screenplay to storytelling. The story itself is the hero of the film! It’s a proud moment for us all that our hard work will be showcased on the silver screen in Berlin.” Actor Suruchi Adarkar adds, “Ghaath is a very realistic film, and most people don't know the realities of these situations and these regions. I hope the film reaches as many people as possible.”

Starting 2023 with such great news, producer Shiladitya Bora shares "At the heart of Ghaath is a powerful and unique story, and I have immense faith in Chhatrapal’s craft. We are thrilled that our film is embarking on its journey into the world with such a prestigious and wonderful platform as the Berlinale, and plan to bring it to our audiences back home soon after." Bora had earlier produced the Marathi feature Picasso in 2017 starring Prasad Oak, which received a special mention at the National Film Awards and also became Amazon Prime Video's first Marathi acquisition.
