Netaji Palkar is a 1927 Indian biopic historical silent film directed by V. Shantaram. ^[1] Kaishavrao Dhaiber who was an apprentice with Damle, co-directed the film. He was to become the chief cinematographer for Shantaram in his later films. ^[2] Made under the Maharashtra Film Company, Kolhapur, it was the first film directed by Shantaram. ^[3] The director of photography was S. Fattelal and the cast included Ansuya, Balasaheb Yadav, Ganpat Bakre and Zunzarrao Pawar. ^[4]

The film, based on the Maratha King Shivaji's Senapati (Commander-in-Chief) Netaji Palkar, and his struggle to save his kingdom, is cited to have made a great "impact" on Marathi Cinema. ^[5] According to Garga, the commercial success of the film helped save the Maharashtra Film Company from facing bankruptcy. ^[6]
