When Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh’s film Jayeshbhai Jordaar opened in theatres—since not many people showed up for the first day, first show—few noticed huge crowds across Mumbai’s multiplexes, lining up instead for a picture next-door, called Dharmaveer. Looking in that direction, I was quite surprised too. 

What’s Dharmaveer about? Late Shiv Sena politician Anand Dighe. Not having heard of Dighe in Thane is a lot like being clueless about who Bal Thackeray was/is in the neighbouring city, Mumbai. Yet, you can be excused for the ignorance.
