Plot

In the dramatic saga of Sambhaji's reign, suspicion seeped into his closest allies, turning friends into foes. Ganoji Shirke, driven by a thirst for revenge, plotted against him, while even the loyal Tulsi, who had once sacrificed all for Sambhaji, harbored vindictive thoughts. Dominated by the cunning Kabji, Sambhaji's downfall seemed inevitable. Captured by Mukbar Khan and delivered to Aurangzeb's court, Sambhaji faced the ultimate test of faith. Despite relentless torture, he remained steadfast, refusing to yield to Aurangzeb's demands to convert to Islam, sealing his fate with a martyr's bravery.
