When you decide to bring an ancient tradition to life on the big screen, you need a spectacular crew, and ‘Gondhal’ has truly assembled a dream team, promising an international quality spectacle for Marathi cinema fans.
The film is packed with award-winning veterans from both Bollywood and South Indian cinema. None other than legendary music director and Padma Vibhushan Ilaiyaraaja, whose melodies have earned him multiple National Awards for classic South Indian films, is composing the music.

Film is choreographed by Amalendu Chaudhary, a State Award winner known for blockbusters like Stree, Chhichhore and Fukrey 3. Adding depth are seasoned professionals like editor Ashish Mhatre (Aani Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar), National Award-winning costume designer Sachin Lovale (Sam Bahadur), and makeup designer Shrikant Desai.
The crew even features global talent, including sound designer Jayesh Dhakan, who worked on Oscar-winning films like Life of Pi and Slumdog Millionaire, and DI Colorist Makarand Surte (Chak De! India) from RedChillies Color.
Director Santosh Davkhar confirmed the high ambition behind the project and said, “The concept of ‘Gondhal’ is traditional, but we tried to reach an international standard while making it. Working with such a powerful technical team was an extraordinary experience. I’m confident that this film will offer a new level of spectacle and help this Maharashtrian tradition make its mark across various states.”
With a story, screenplay, and dialogues penned by Davkhar himself, and featuring talented actors like Kishor Kadam and Ishita Deshmukh, ‘Gondhal’ isn’t just a movie it’s being hailed as a magnificent cultural event.
