Maratha Mandir opened on 16 October 1945, founded by the Scindia Royal Family with Babasaheb Gawde (G. G. Gawde) as the second venture of the Maratha Mandir Trust. In the 1960s and 1970s it staged lavish film launches, notably Mughal-e-Azam in 1960. Multiplexes later drew away wealthier viewers, leaving working-class audiences as its main patrons.
