As Phule enters its fifth successful week in theatres, audiences continue to celebrate the powerful storytelling and amazing performances that bring the lives of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule to the big screen.
Patralekhaa, who essays the role of the iconic social reformer Savitribai Phule, shared her heartfelt gratitude, “It honestly feels surreal that Phule is still running in its fifth week. I knew this was a special story when I read the script, but the love it’s received has been overwhelming. Playing Savitribai changed something in me, and I’m just so grateful people are connecting with her journey,” she said.
Directed by Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, Phule has struck a deep chord with audiences, not just for its historical significance but also for the emotional weight carried by its central characters. While Pratik Gandhi’s portrayal of Jyotirao Phule has been widely praised, Patralekhaa’s transformation into Savitribai has resonated with viewers across the country, drawing attention to the strength, sacrifice, and spirit of a woman who redefined education and equality for generations to come.
