All Marathi Movies | Verified Source |

Marathi cinema , proudly known as M-Town or Marathi Chitrapat , is one of the oldest and most respected regional film industries in India. While Bollywood often dominates the national conversation, Marathi movies have consistently delivered raw, authentic storytelling, powerful social commentary, and award-winning performances. If you are searching for all Marathi movies —whether to understand their history, find the top-rated films, or simply decide what to watch tonight—this comprehensive guide is for you. A Brief History of Marathi Cinema To appreciate all Marathi movies, one must start at the beginning. The industry was born in 1912 with Shree Pundalik , but it was Dadasaheb Phalke’s Raja Harishchandra (1913) that truly laid the foundation. The "Golden Era" arrived in the 1950s with masters like V. Shantaram and Raja Paranjape. Films like Shyamchi Aai (1953) set a benchmark for emotional depth. Since then, the industry has evolved through experimental art house films in the 1970s, a commercial slump in the 1990s, and a sensational renaissance in the 2010s.
