Zee Marathi’s upcoming new serial ‘Baji’ based in the Peshwa Rule is all set to begin it’s telecast from 30^th July. Zee Marathi is again presenting a 100 episode story with ‘Baji’. In the later part of Peshwa Rule the Britishers collaborated with the Nizam to defeat Peshwas. Using the reference of those incidents a fictional story has been created in ‘Baji’.

In this story a spy named ‘Shera’ was sent to the Peshwas & he was given 100 days to finish off the Peshwas! This is the storyline of ‘Baji’. This serial has an inspiration from the style of G. N. Dandekar’s novels. The serial stars Abhijeet Shwetachandra & Nupur Daithankar in the lead.

Nupur is a passionate artist & dancer & has trained in the same from her childhood. She plays the character of ‘Heera’ in Zee Marathi’s ‘Baji’. This serial is shot in places like Pune, Bhor, Satara & Saswad. The story is based in 1770 & includes many historical incidents in the narrative of the story. The role of Shera is played by Prakhar Singh while the title character is played by Abhijeet Shwetachandra.

Nupur says, “This is a fictional story. The love story between Baji & Heera is shown in this serial. Every character in this story has different layers to them. Mine is of a beautiful, brave, stubborn girl who doesn’t think twice while protecting ‘Swarajya’! She even is a master in horse riding & sword fighting. This character was very challenging for me.”

Zee Marathi’s ‘Grahan’ serial is all set to reveal it’s big suspense as it soon it will be going off air. ‘Grahan’ will be replaced by an ambitious serial, ‘Baji’ an historical epic based in the times of Peshwa rule.

The shooting of ‘Grahan’ was finished last month itself. ‘Grahan’ will end it’s telecast by this week. ‘Baji’ is again a limited 100 episode serial that will be replacing it. In the later half of the Peshwa rule both Nizam & the British came together to end the Maratha rule. Inspired by these true events a fictional story has been created in ‘Baji’ serial.

It’s believed that a spy named ‘Shera’ was sent in the Peshwa Rule to kill the Peshwas within 100 days. Zee Marathi’s business head Nilesh Mayekar says this storyline is also inspired by the style of G. N. Dandekar’s novel. He also clarified that though this serial inspired by true events, the serial is a fictionalized story.

Taleem Marathi Movie Review :

‘Like how Kushti is Maharashtra’s pride, Lavani is Maharashtra’s heart’, this adage is repeated a couple of times in the film Taleem. The intent here is to make a film about these two pillars of cultural heritage of Maharashtra. The basic premise is interesting, but the melodramatic approach by the director wastes whatever little dramatic potential the film has.

The film begins with us seeing a wrestler being killed in an arena. Next we see a kid being chased around the village by a bunch of bullies. Getting impressed by the never say die attitude of the kid, the wrestling coach of the village inducts him into his training arena much against his mother’s wishes. This is the same coach whose wrestler had died during a fight. We then witness the growth of the kid Bhavdya into a competent wrestler destined to make the whole village proud. But then comes a dancing troupe of the lavani kind in the village and our protagonists is smitten by the star dancer of the troupe.

Taleem had enough opportunity to become an absorbing account of the inner workings of the world of Kushti. The rustic sport requires dedication from a tender age and is widely followed by people in the rural areas. We do get to see glimpses of the world of wrestling with all its rivalry attached, but, rather sadly, the director seems to have a thing for melodrama. There is a jarring background score that plays in every other scene, making the film rather difficult to sit through. This is not to say that the screenplay is without clichés like the protagonist actually turning out to be an adopted son, but the loud treatment given to the material at hand is the major undoing of the film.

The lead actor Abhijeet Shwetchandra does look the part, but his acting potential is quite limited. The wrestling scenes are decently shot, but do get a little repetitive after a while. Mitali Jagtap who plays the lead actor’s mother makes the best impression and the few scenes she gets are the better parts of the film.

Overall:

The film does have noble intentions but the loud melodramatic approach does injustice to the subject and the intent.

Taleem, a film about Kusti will be releasing on 5th August all over Maharashtra. Nitin Rokde who has edited many Hindi blockbusters will be directing this film and it stars Abhijeet Shwetchandra, Vaishali Dabhade, Mitali Jagtap, Vishni Joshilkar, Chhaya Kadam, Prashant Mohite, Yashpal Sarnath and Arjun in lead roles.

Taleem is produced by Sudarshan Ingle, Sanjay Mule, Jay Aditya Giri and Nitin Rokde under the banners of Raghujan Films, Roaring Goat Media and NMR Movies.

While speaking about this film Rokde said, “The younger generation knows only about wrestling on the mats. However, Marathi traditional wrestling- Kusti is played on the sand and it is the main focus of our film. The locations of this film are very unique and will be seen for the first time on the screen. We have shot this film at Bhor, Junnar and Sangli where the game is still very popular.”

Rokde has also written the story screenplay of the film while dialogues have been penned by Sikandar Sayyad and Abhijeet Kulkarni. The DoP is Farukh Khan and music has been composed by Prafull Karlekar. Mandar Cholkar has written the lyrics and Adarsh Shinde, Tarannum Malik, Ronkani Gupta, Swapnil Godbole, Divya Kumar, Kalpana Potwari, Anandi Joshi, Farhad Bhiwandiwala, and Abhiroop have given playback for the songs.

Taleem is the second film in the recent past in Marathi cinema that is based on wrestling. Kushti is a sport with a long tradition in India and has been played for ages. We last year had Bhaurao Karhade’s Khwada based on wrestling which had won a National Award. Taleem, though, seems like a film from the other end of the spectrum from Khwada.

Taleem trailer does have some impressive visuals of wrestling matches. The lead actor does look like a wrestler himself and that goes a long way in establishing character. Though wrestling is an integral part of the film, the film seems to tackle the human emotions of love, hatred, betrayal and redemption through it. It also adopts the conventional format of song and dance sequences with the mandatory lavani.

Taleem has been written and directed by Nitin Madhukar Rokade and stars Abhijeet Shwetchandra and Vaishali Dabade in the lead role. It has been produced by Sudarshan Ingale, Sanjay Mulay, Jayaditya Giri and Nitin Madhukar Rokade

The film is slated to release on July 15th, 2016.

The album has a wide range of songs from a raunchy lavni called Ishqacha Baan Sutla sung by Ronkani Gupta and Swapnil Godbole to the pathos ridden Kal Na Yo Kal Na. Popular singer Adarsh Shinde has lent his voice to the title track Taleem Rangu De along with Tarannum Malik. There is also a romantic duet sung by Anandi Joshi and Farhad Bhiwandiwala and the fun song Be Eke Be sung by Abhiroop and Swapnil Godbole.

On the occasion of the Music Launch the director Nitin Madhukar Rokade said that songs have been seamlessly woven into the film and are not incorporated just as fillers.

The film Taleem stars Abhijeet Shwetchandra, Vaishali Dabhade, Mitali Jagtap, Vishnu Joshilkar, Prashant Mohite, Yashpal Sarnath, Arjun and Chaya Kadam.
