Synopsis:

Filmed in India in the Marathi language, Godavari stars a who’s who of Indian talent including the film’s lead actor Jitendra Joshi (Sacred Games, Ventilator) who has headlined numerous Marathi feature films including award-winning Ventilator and his turn as the lovable police constable Katekar in Netflix's first Original Indian series Sacred Games. Alongside Joshi, Godavari also stars Sanjay Mone (Dhyasparva), Vikram Gokhle (Anumati), Neena Kulkarni (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), Gauri Nalawade (The Disciple) and Priyadarshan Jadhav (Bhootatlela)

Godavari marks a new beginning for Mumbai-based filmmaker Nikhil Mahajan, who is best known for his work directing the neo-noir Pune 52, vigilante action film Baji and the Netflix Original zombie horror series Betaal by Blumhouse. With Godavari, Mahajan shifts gears seamlessly into a dramatic space after a 6-year hiatus from filmmaking. It marks a decided metamorphosis of directorial style and vision and is his most personal film to date.
