More details about Phule and where you can watch

Released nationwide on 25 April 2025, Phule chronicles the life and legacy of Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule, whose relentless activism advanced education and gender equality in colonial India. Directed by Anant Mahadevan, the film opens in plague-stricken Pune in 1897 and uses flashbacks to depict the Phules’ sacrifices and advocacy against caste oppression.
