72 Miles - Ek Pravas is a Marathi film directed by Rajiv Patil produced by Twinkle Khanna and Ashwini Yardi.

The film, set in the 50's and 60's, is about journey of a 13-year-old boy who ran away from his hostel and how he matures with time when he meets a sympathetic woman and her children.

Chased by bullies, robbed by drunken gamblers, he starts his journey towards his village in the Kolhapur district.

The very people who seem pleasant and invite him to ride with them turn into horrifying monsters as soon as they learn of his surname, a scheduled caste.

Beaten to a pulp by the high-castes, the boy is then rescued by a woman Radhakka, who is on her way to Shigaon in the Walwa taluka of Sangli district with her sick infant son Sundarya and three other children.
