The teaser of historical drama ‘Saako 363’ released!
‘Saako 363’, the story of sacrifice of #Bishnoicommunity, will be released on the screen on 28 February 2025. The teaser of Saako 363, an upcoming historical drama based on the true story of Amrita Devi Bishnoi and her community’s sacrifice for environmental preservation, was unveiled at a special Bishnoi Samaj event in Rajasthan. The film pays homage to the extraordinary courage of 363 Bishnois who laid down their lives to protect trees, marking a profound chapter in Indian and global history.
Set in 18th-century Rajasthan, Saako 363 recounts the struggle of the Bishnoi community against King Abhay Singh’s minister, Girdharlal Bhandari, who sought to fell trees in their villages for the construction of the king’s Flower Palace. Amrita Devi, portrayed by Sneha Ullal, stood as a symbol of resilience and devotion to nature, leading her community to sacrifice their lives to protect the environment.
The Bishnoi philosophy, rooted in Jambheshwar Maharaj’s 29 principles, teaches the importance of preserving nature and wildlife. One of its core tenets, “If you have to cut your head to save a tree, it’s a cheap deal,” comes alive in this powerful narrative.
The film features an ensemble cast, including #SnehaUllal, #MilindGunaji, #SahilKohli . Directed by #RamratanBishnoi and #VikramBishnoi, with music by #MilanHarish and lyrics by #RamratanBishnoi, Saako 363 promises an emotionally charged experience.
The cinematography by #KRajkumar captures the arid beauty of Rajasthan, with shooting locations such as Junagarh Fort, Bikaner, and Nagaur City lending authenticity to the narrative. The background score by Harshit Rathore and Ankit Sharma enhances the film’s dramatic essence, while Vidya Maurya’s costume design recreates the 18th-century era.
Produced under the banner of #SwamiRamanandJiMaharaj, Ramratan Bishnoi, and Vikram Bishnoi, Saako 363 is set to release in theatres on February 28, 2025.
Saako 363 not only sheds light on a lesser-known episode of Indian history but also serves as a poignant reminder of the value of environmental conservation. The film’s story is a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Bishnoi community, inspiring generations to prioritize nature and wildlife over personal gain. With its teaser already creating buzz, Saako 363 is poised to be a cinematic tribute to the indomitable spirit of Amrita Devi and her community, celebrating their unparalleled sacrifice for the greater good.
