Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is a Bollywood historical drama, directed by Om Raut. The movie stars Ajay Devgn as Subedar Taanaji Malusare and Saif Ali Khan as the main antagonist. The movie is slated to hit the theatres on January 10, 2020. The film will be clashing with Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak.

The film begins with a young Tanhaji losing his father on the battlefield. 'Log vashihat mein bahut kuch chhod jaate hai, mein tere liye karz chhodkar jaa raha hoon," the latter passes on his iron kada (signifying his dream of achieving Swarajya for the country) before breathing his last. Years pass by and the lad grows up into a fierce Maratha warrior (Ajay Devgn) who is one of the closest aides of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (Sharad Kelkar). When the king is forced to surrender 23 forts to the Moghuls including the Kondhana fort (which is of strategic importance), Rajamata Jijabai's pride is hurt and she swears to walk bare feet until the Marathas recapture the Kondhana fort.

Four years later, a spy brings news for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj that Aurangzeb (Luke Kenny) is planning to send his trusted commander Udaybhan (Saif Ali Khan) to Kondhana to ensure that the Marathas are unable to recapture the fort. Finding it a perfect opportunity to reclaim the fort, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj starts planning for the conquest, making sure that the news doesn't reach Tanhaji Malusare who is busy with the preparations for his son's wedding in Umrat. Somehow the news of Chhatrapati's plans reach Tanhaji's ears and the latter firmly decides, "Adhi lagin kondhanyach mag majhya raibacha." The rest of the plot revolves around how Tanhaji Malusare and his brave Mavlas recapture the Kondhana fort in the Battle Of Sinhagad on February 4, 1670.
