S imhasan This Marathi film, based on Arun Sadhu’s two novels ‘Simhasan’ and ‘Mumbai Dinank’, depicts the tussle for the post of Chief Minister in Maharashtra. The story is told through journalist Digu Tipnis as the silent ‘Sutradhar’. It tries to capture the intense power struggle within the ruling party and the secondary role of the Opposition. Finance Minister, Vishwasrao Dabhade is making all-out efforts to unseat the incumbent Chief Minister.
Both contenders are trying to woo trade union leader D’Casta to obtain his support. In this factional fight, other politicians too seek to obtain maximum advantage while bargaining with both sides.
