Plot

A TV news reporter Tanvi Mahapatra (Shruti Marathe) arrives at midnight of 26 August at Thane railway station upset over her current assignment of covering the 20th memorial service of late politician Anand Dighe in Thane which made her miss her first Bollywood party. Moreover, she is unaware of who the great personality was and the new article archives & internet sources show that after his death, locals destroyed Sunitidevi Singhania Hospital. The reporter meets an auto-rickshaw driver Sameer (Gashmeer Mahajani) who decides to drop her to her hotel in Louiswadi and tells her that rather than relying on the internet, she should meet the common Thanekars to whom Anand Dighe Saheb devoted his entire life. The story takes back to the early days of Shiv Sena when a young Anand Dighe Saheb is a party worker. Inspired by his work and dedication, he becomes a prominent member of the party and a very close aide of supremo Bal Thackeray where both share great respect towards one another. At the venue, the reporter meets several people right from his mentees Eknath Shinde, Rajan Vichare, Anita Birje his family of two sisters as well as scores of common Thanekars where she finds that Anand Dighe Saheb was not just a political leader but he was much more to Thanekars and devoted his whole life for them. The great personality met with a tragic end but is still alive in the hearts of Thanekars even after his death. [8]
