‘Salbardi’ Dominates the Box Office: Mystery Thriller Sees Housefull Shows in Second Week

Built around the haunting tagline, “The truth behind the true incident,” the Marathi film Salbardi has transformed from a promising release into a certified box-office hit. After a strong debut, the film has entered its second week with “Housefull” boards across Maharashtra, fueled by glowing word-of-mouth and a gripping narrative set in a remote village.

Directed by Ramesh Sahebrao Chaudhary, the film blends mystery and suspense to tell a story where every situation hides a secret. Audiences have been particularly captivated by the unexpected twists and the constant struggle to unravel the central truth, keeping theaters packed well into the second week of its run.

Pooja Sawant’s “Fearless” Transformation

A major highlight of the film is lead actress Pooja Sawant, who portrays P.I. Manorama Pradhan. Known for her versatile roles, Sawant has undergone a significant transformation to play this fierce and disciplined police officer.

To ensure authenticity, the actress spent time with real-life officers to study their authoritative communication and body language.

There is inherent strength in the uniform, and I believe this role will inspire every woman.”
