Satyashodhak is a 2024 Indian Marathi-language film about the life of Jyotirao Phule, directed by Nilesh Jalamkar, with Sandeep Kulkarni and Rajshri Deshpande in the lead roles. It was released in theatres on 5 January 2024.[1]
The film, set in the 19th century, against the backdrop of the British presence in India as well as social issues of casteism and poverty, focuses on the struggles faced by social activists and reformers Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule. The narrative delves into the hardships faced by women, including the prohibition of remarriage for widows and the ritualistic tonsuring of their heads.
