Ajoba is a 2014 Indian Marathi-language film directed by Sujay Dahake and written by Gauri Bapat. Allegedly based on true events,[1] it tells the story of a leopard’s remarkable 29 days journey from Malshej Ghat to Mumbai. Ajoba was rescued from a well and a tracking device was fixed on his neck, before being released back into the wild.[2] He made his way to Mumbai over the Sahyadris, a distance of 120 kilometres (75 mi).[3]
