Marking Rose Movies' foray into Marathi cinema, Solha is a heartfelt story rooted in hope, aspirations, resilience and the positivity that defines the human spirit.

With Solha, Rose Movies embarks on its regional cinema journey, reflecting the company's vision of championing powerful, rooted stories that resonate with audiences beyond language barriers. As regional cinema continues to emerge as one of the strongest drivers of India's entertainment landscape, the studio aims to collaborate with exceptional local talent while bringing its storytelling expertise to new audiences.

Sharing why she chose Solha as her first film as a presenter, Sonali Bendre said, "Presenting Solha feels incredibly meaningful because it marks the beginning of a new chapter for me. I've always been drawn to stories that stay with you long after they've ended… stories that make you pause, reflect, and perhaps even see life a little differently... and that’s exactly what Solha left me with. When I first heard Solha, it instantly connected with me. At its heart, it's a story about hope, resilience and the quiet strength that lives within ordinary people. Those are values I've come to hold even closer over the years, which made this feel like the right story to begin this journey with."

She further added, "As I step into this role as a presenter, I hope to champion films that move people emotionally while introducing audiences to storytellers and voices that deserve to be discovered. I couldn't have asked for a more fitting first step than Solha, and I hope audiences leave the theatre feeling exactly what I felt when I first heard this story."

Saaikat Bagbaan, Director and Writer talking about Solha said, "Every filmmaker hopes to find collaborators who believe in the story as deeply as they do, and that's exactly what happened with Solha. From the very beginning, the vision was to tell an honest, emotionally rooted story that celebrates hope and the resilience of ordinary people. Having Rose Movies come on board and Sonali Bendre present the film gives this journey an incredible sense of encouragement. I'm grateful that they connected with the film's heart and chose to support it while allowing us to stay true to the story we set out to tell. I can't wait for audiences to experience Solha in theatres on October 16."
