Maharashtra Files trailer showed institutional corruption and the growing divide between the powerful and the weak in the roughly three-minute clip. The projected 40-kilometer, four-lane national highway project at the centre of the narrative served as the catalyst for a more extensive political and societal dispute.

Politicians, officials, and powerful business people were seen manipulating the system for their own benefit while farmers battled to defend their fields.

Maharashtra Files vs The Kashmir Files, Bengal Files And Kerala Files

Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Kashmir Files was based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s. The filmmaker later expanded the 'Files' universe with The Bengal Files, a Hindi political drama centred around the Direct Action Day and Noakhali riots.

Similarly, The Kerala Story, backed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, revolved around women allegedly being radicalised and recruited into terror groups. The movie triggered nationwide discussions, protests and legal scrutiny after being promoted as a story inspired by a true event.

The tone, political context, and social criticism of the Maharashtra Files trailer have already put it in the same discourse as these hard-hitting movies. The Marathi movie, which is directed by Sanjivkumar Rathod, will hit theatres on May 29, 2026.
