In 2015, a film not only won the hearts of the audience but also became a superhit at the box office. That film was Mitwaa! Featuring actor-producer Swapnil Joshi in the lead role, Mitwaa received immense love from audiences back then, and even today, fans continue to shower Swapnil with the same admiration. Perhaps, this is the best reward for excellent work.
Throughout his cinematic journey, Swapnil has played a variety of roles in films based on diverse themes, many of which were deeply special and romantic. His performance in Mitwaa didn’t just capture hearts—it left the youth mesmerized!
Swapnil had already built a lover-boy image through films like Duniyadari and Pyaar Wali Love Story, but he took it to the next level with Mitwaa. His emotional and romantic scenes were portrayed with such sincerity that audiences flocked to theaters to watch him. For his fans, Mitwaa was truly a treat.
While reminiscing about Mitwaa, Swapnil says, “Mitwaa is a very special film in our lives for many reasons. The story, the title—everything about it stood out. The fact that I got to be a part of a film with music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and have songs picturized on me was a huge blessing. Through Mitwaa, I got the chance to work with incredibly talented actresses like Sonalee Kulkarni and Prarthana Behere. It was a unique love story in Marathi cinema. Before Mitwaa, there had been several love triangles and romantic films, but none had made such an impact. Mitwaa, being a hardcore love story, became a massive success in theaters.”
He adds, “What made me happiest was that Mitwaa brought Bollywood-level grandeur to Marathi cinema—whether it was an actor making a grand helicopter entry or a powerful love song sequence. The things we used to watch in Bollywood films were finally happening in Marathi cinema, and that made me immensely proud. Even today, the character of Shivam Sarang remains very close to my heart. The entire Mitwaa team is deeply connected to me for many reasons. To this day, fans meet me and praise the film’s climax, saying, ‘Sir, we’ve never seen an ending like this in Marathi cinema before!’ That love from the audience is what Mitwaa gave me, and I will always be grateful for it.”
Even after 10 years, Mitwaa still holds the same magic. Though a decade has passed, this film remains evergreen!
