After Chhatrapati Shivaji’s death, Chhatrapati Sambhaji leads the Marathas. Bahadur Khan, Subhedar of Burhanpur, with Kakar Khan, levies tax on people. Sambhaji raids the city, saving people from unjust rule.

Shivrayancha Chhava (Marath) is the story about the looting of Burhanpur by Shivaji Maharaj’s (Chinmay Mandlekar) son, Sambhaji Maharaj (Bhushan Patil). It’s an attempt to bring a tale of valor to the big screen, giving an idea about the greatness of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. In the past, Digpal Lanjekar has presented us a work like Pawankhind and has raised the bar high for himself. This is the second film on the historical figure in as many weeks.

The film starts with Sambhaji Maharaj’s coronation ceremony at Raigad. After the death of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Aurangzeb, and other evil emperors among Mughals presume that the state of Swarajya led by Shivaji Maharaj would be destroyed, but little did they know that already a new force had risen to protect it, in the form of Sambhaji Maharaj. After his coronation takes place, he decides to attack Aurangzeb’s one of the dearest territories, Burhanpur, and loot all the treasury.
