Speaking at the occasion, Rahul Puri, Managing Director at Mukta A2 Cinemas, said, “Vijeta is a film that speaks to the athlete in all of us. A story of courage, hope, and triumph under adversity, it imparts a universal message that will be understood by everyone. We at Mukta A2 Cinemas are proud to have hosted the premier of a film featuring some of Marathi cinema’s finest talents, and we are confident that the public’s response to the themes and messages put forth will be phenomenal.”

The film follows the story of Soumitra (played by Subodh Bhave), a mind coach appointed by the Maharashtra government following the state’s poor showing at the National Games in Kerala. Along the way, the audience is also introduced to Nalini (Pooja Sawant), a triathlon athlete who is great at cycling but struggles with running and swimming, and Sunanda (Pritam Kagne), a runner battling a tragedy in her past. By helping these athletes overcome their personal hurdles, Soumitra hopes to make them winners in the battlefields of their minds, while stopping the demons of his own tormented past from destroying him.
