This is one of the classic Marathi movies that got lost in the crowd. Marathi movies and movie makers have a long history and tradition. The father of Indian Cinema Dadasaheb Phalke came from this rich tradition of Marathi movies and plays. He is considered as a pioneer of Indian cinema and a prestigious Indian film industry award is named after him.
Many Hindi movies were made (remake) based on the story from a Marathi films. The movie Maphicha Sakshidar got release during that period of time when Marathi film industry was churning out good movies and got lost in the crowd of other good movies. However, this is one of the classic movies with excellent acting from all the actors. Rajdutt, one of genuinely talented directors, ably directs a strong storyline that grips your imagination from the start. A must watch film if at all you get hold of it on now almost non-existent VHS tapes. My vote 9/10.
