The Maharashtra State Film Award for Best Second Film is presented annually by the Department of Cultural Affairs, Government of Maharashtra, to recognise the second-best film in Marathi cinema. It is one of the most prestigious honours in the Marathi film industry and is presented as part of the Maharashtra State Film Awards ceremony. The award was later renamed the Baburao Painter Award for Best Film. The award was first presented in 1962. The recipients are selected by a jury appointed by the state government.
Raja Paranjape, Kamlakar Torne and Sachin Pilgaonkar are the directors whose films have received the award most often, with three wins each. Paranjape's and Torne's winning films were in consecutive years (1962–1963) and (1977–1978) respectively, as were Pilgaonkar's (1989–1990). Films directed by Rajdutt and Chandrakant Kulkarni have each won the award three times, though not in consecutive years.
Films directed by Anant Mane won the award twice, including in two consecutive years. Madhukar Pathak, Jabbar Patel, V. K. Naik, Bhaskar Jadhav, Amol Palekar, Ajay Phansekar, Rajiv Patil and Sachin Kundalkar have each won the award on two occasions. Smita Talwalkar was the first female director whose film won the award.
