Toh, Ti Ani Fuji (lit. Him, Her and Fuji) is a 2026 Indian Marathi-language romantic drama film directed by Mohit Takalkar and written by Irawati Karnik. The film is produced by Shiladitya Bora under the banner of Platoon One Films and stars Lalit Prabhakar and Mrinmayee Godbole in the lead roles.[1][2][3]

The film had its world premiere at the 24th Pune International Film Festival (PIFF) in January 2026, where it competed in the Marathi Feature Film section. It released directly on Sony LIV on 10 April 2026.[4]

Plot

Set in contemporary Pune, the film follows a couple who become deeply involved in an intense romantic relationship. What begins as a passionate and urgent connection gradually unravels as conflicting priorities, contrasting personalities, and unmet expectations begin to strain their bond, ultimately leading to a painful separation.

Seven years later, the former lovers unexpectedly reunite near Mount Fuji in Japan. Having grown older and shaped by their separate journeys, they find themselves carrying different lives and emotional scars. Their reunion forces them to confront unresolved feelings and the memories of a relationship that continues to linger in their lives.

The narrative unfolds through a non-linear structure, interweaving flashbacks of their time together in Pune with their present-day encounter in Japan. As the story progresses, each timeline is gradually recontextualized, revealing the complexities of their relationship and exploring whether love can endure the weight of its own past.
