The trailer launch of the upcoming Marathi film Uttar turned into a heartwarming celebration of family, legacy, and cinema when veteran actress Tanuja arrived hand-in-hand with her daughter, the evergreen Kajol. Held in Mumbai, the event felt less like a promotional affair and more like a beautiful mother-daughter moment that left everyone teary-eyed and excited for what promises to be one of the most touching films of the industry has seen in recent times.

A Story That Hits Close to Home

Directed by Kshitij Patwardhan, Uttar revolves around the sacred and often complicated bond between a mother and her son. The nearly three-minute trailer beautifully captures the everyday warmth, unspoken sacrifices, quiet misunderstandings, and eventual reconciliation that define this relationship. From tender lullabies to heated arguments and tearful reconciliations, every frame feels deeply personal – as if the makers have peeked into real Indian households and brought those emotions to the screen.

What makes the film even more special is Tanuja’s return to Marathi cinema after decades. The legendary actress, who once ruled both Hindi and Marathi screens with her effortless charm, plays the central mother figure, while the son’s role is brought to life by a talented ensemble of Marathi actors. Kajol, who shares an extremely close bond with her mother in real life, was visibly emotional while introducing Tanuja on stage, calling the film “a piece of our hearts on screen.”

Visual Poetry Meets Powerful Performances

Kshitij Patwardhan, known for his sensitive storytelling in films like June and Phullwanti, seems to have outdone himself with Uttar. The trailer boasts breathtaking visuals – golden sunlit fields, rain-soaked courtyards, and cozy old-fashioned homes that instantly transport you to small-town Maharashtra. Paired with soul-stirring background music that blends traditional lavani touches with heartfelt melodies, the film already feels like an emotional rollercoaster.

Early reactions suggest that Tanuja delivers a career-best performance, slipping effortlessly into the skin of a strong yet vulnerable mother who has lived her life for her child. The supporting cast, including seasoned Marathi actors Milind Gunaji, Shilpa Navalkar, and rising star Atharva Karve, add layers of authenticity to this family saga.

Why December 12 Feels Like the Perfect Release Date

Scheduled to hit theatres on 12th December 2025, Uttar couldn’t have asked for a better slot. With families coming together during the holiday season and schools closed for Christmas vacations, this heartwarming tale is poised to become the perfect weekend watch for multiple generations under one roof.

In an industry increasingly dominated by high-octane action or quirky comedies, Uttar stands out as a gentle reminder of the stories that truly matter – the ones about love, forgiveness, and the people we call home. If the trailer is anything to go by, tissues will be mandatory in theatres this December.

Mark your calendars, gather your family, and get ready to witness a mother-son story that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Tanuja and Kajol have already won hearts at the trailer launch – now it’s time for Uttar to do the same on the big screen.
