Ajay-Atul’s ‘Phool Parijat’ Captures the Tender Bond Between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Saibai

Mumbai : Following the massive box-office success of the historical epic Raja Shivaji, Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company have released the music video for the film's most soul-stirring track, ‘Phool Parijat.’ Since its theatrical debut on Maharashtra Day (May 1), the film has resonated deeply with audiences, and this new song offers a poignant glimpse into the private life of the legendary warrior king.

A Portrait of Love and Devotion
Composed by the legendary duo Ajay-Atul, ‘Phool Parijat’ transcends the typical cinematic romance. It portrays Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj not just as a visionary leader, but as a compassionate and understanding partner. Told through the perspective of Saibai, the song captures the innocence, intimacy, and profound spiritual connection the couple shared.

The track is elevated by the ethereal vocals of Shreya Ghoshal, whose rendition brings out the delicate emotions of trust and surrender. The metaphor of the Parijat flower—a symbol of divinity and rarity—is used to represent the presence of Shivaji Maharaj in Saibai's life, likening their bond to a celestial gift.

Cinematic Excellence and Global Success
Raja Shivaji has emerged as a cultural phenomenon in 2026, securing the fourth-highest opening for an Indian film this year. The production has revitalized Marathi cinema, drawing families back to theaters in record numbers. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Genelia Deshmukh, the film balances grand-scale action with intimate storytelling.

Key highlights of the film's journey so far:

• Release Date: May 1, 2026 (Maharashtra Day)
• Languages: Marathi and Hindi
• Production: Jio Studios & Mumbai Film Company
• Music Label: Warner Music India & Desh Music

The release of ‘Phool Parijat’ adds a melodic layer to the cinematic tribute to Hindavi Swarajya, proving that the legacy of Shivaji Maharaj is as much about his character as it is about his conquests.
