“The Panipat war is etched in our history as a classic manifestation of how Marathas fought valiantly this war to preserve our sovereignty. They took the flag right up to Attock city (Pakistan) and yet fell short of a victory. To get the perspective behind this defeat, one needs to go into our history of the Panipat War. The film ‘Panipat’ by Shri, Ashutosh Gowariker is a audio-visual documentation of this epic war and everybody should definitely watch it,” (sic) Thackeray wrote in a graphical note on Twitter.
