Mumbai/IBNS: Filmmaker Sachin Pilgaonkar has celebrated the successful run of Marathi film Navra Maza Navsacha 2 which completed 50 days in theatre houses.

Sachin Pilgaonkar, celebrated actor and filmmaker who completes 6 decades in the film industry with his remarkable contribution in Indian Cinema, took on multiple roles in Navra Maza Navsacha 2, director, producer, writer, distributor, and lead actor.

The film achieved more than 35 percent of the original Navra Maza Navsacha’s lifetime earnings in just one day, makers claim.

The film's success extends beyond Indian borders, with screenings in the USA, Canada, Singapore, and even Tokyo, a first for a Marathi film.

Sachin Pilgaonkar shares, "Navra Maza Navsacha 2 is my 23rd film as a director, and this time, I wanted not only to finance and produce it but also distribute it myself. Taking on all of these roles was challenging, but I believe that courage and love for your work is always rewarded.

"My leap of faith has been met with immense love and success, thanks to my amazing team. I have always believed that content and storytelling excels above all, no language barrier can stop its success when it comes to entertaining the audience."

Adding to the film’s allure are special appearances by Bollywood legends Sonu Nigam and Johnny Lever, both of whom starred in the first Navra Maza Navsacha nearly two decades ago that delighted fans on their return.

Reflecting on Shriya’s support and a recent success party she organized for the team, Sachin Pilgaonkar remarked, "Shriya has been incredibly supportive throughout, especially with the film’s PR and social media. Her gesture of throwing a success party for the film was deeply touching."
