Phule trailer: Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa look impactful in this inspiring story of social reformers

'Phule' is a biographical drama based on the life of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, who struggled relentlessly to uplift and educate women and oppressed communities in pre-independent India. 

Pratik Gandhi as Jyotirao Phule and Patralekhaa as Savitribai Phule wage a war against the caste system and the marginalization of women of colonial India in the trailer of Ananth Mahadevan’s upcoming historical drama Phule, set to release on April 11 in theaters. Backed by Zee Studios, the two-minute-17-second-long trailer of the film offers a glimpse into the struggle of the legendary reformers as they challenge the social customs prevalent in  Maharashtra in the late1800s. The couple strives to educate girls, uplift the marginalized communities of society, and empower widows.

Going by the trailer, the film looks impactful and sincere in its attempt to celebrate two very prominent figures of Indian history and highlight the cause they dedicated their lives to. Pratik and Patralekhaa look convincing as the titular characters with powerful dialogues elevating the overall experience of watching the trailer. The costumes, the setting, and the overall production design look well-researched and diligently curated which is effectively capturing the Maharashtra of the period the film is set in.

Overall, Phule looks like a promising watch that attempts to explore the untold story of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, the visionary reformers who fought for girls' education, the rights of the oppressed, and widows, in a well-intentioned manner.
