Watch Panipat on
Our first-ever great opportunity to watch the true history of the third battle of Panipat, of the absolute power and glory, that was our great Maratha empire spread out over nearly half of India. In the year 1761, the mighty Marathas alone decided to protect our Bharat from the Afghan invasion, taking their large army with many tonnes of huge canons and elephants over 1000 miles of most arduous journey for 10 long months through Rajasthan territory, but they suffered a series of treacheries and betrayals from the Rajput Rajas. The entire army was made to starve in the most crucial final days of the war because their entire supply of grains and rations was totally sabotaged. This is an absolute true story of how the Afghan victory became possible because of how our most powerful, patriotic Indian army of the Marathas could be destroyed by the treachery and betrayals of our Rajput Rajas. If the Rajputs had not betrayed the Marathas, the Afghans would have been pulverized by Marathas. Such a victory by the mighty Marathas would have been phenomenal, and the first example of our Indian army having travelled over 1000 miles to defend our country and would have made India proud for thousands of years for having decimated the Afghan invasion.
Rohit Shelatkar's epic Panipat, is India's first ever truly historic Bollywood film directed by India's renowned Ashutosh Gowariker.
