The Anchor

'Langar' is a Marathi film that projects the life of the Waghya Murli community in Maharashtra. The story is based on a book written by renowned social reformist, Anil Awchat. The film creates awareness about the exploitation, sorrow and traditions that prevail in the Waghya Murli community. The film throws light on injustice to children from a particular community in a village, where parents offer their children to God, just to keep their vows to God.

Directed by Sandeep Manohar Navre, The Anchor leans on a strong ensemble — Kishori Shahane, Ravi Kale, Manava Naik — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2012.
