In recent times many Marathi stars are making a transition to Bollywood! Adinath Kothare is the newest addition to this list. And one man from Bollywood has been a common factor who is working with our Marathi actors & is giving them deserved respect & adulation! That Bollywood star is Ranvir Singh! In his recent films, he has consistently worked alongside Marathi actors. Whether it is Simmba where Siddharth Jadhav & Vaidehi Parshurami had important roles or Gully Boy where Amruta Subhash played his mother!

Adinath Kothare will be playing the role of one of India’s greatest batsman Dilip Vengsarkar in the film about the 1983 Cricket World Cup which India won. The lead role will be of Kapil Dev as he was the captain of the Indian team & Ranvir Singh will be portraying Kapil Paaji! The 1983 World cup changed the face of Indian cricket forever & hence the film has a huge social & cultural importance!

It would be interesting to see who would be playing Sunil Gavaskar in this film! And what would be the relationship between Kapil Dev & Gavaskar in the film! Adinath Kothare has recently turned into a filmmaker with his debut film ‘Paani’ & now he is starting his new acting inning in Bollywood. We hope the best for Adinath & also believe that he will keep entertaining us in different ways & forms!

Take Care Good Night Review (Marathi Movie):

There are quite a few issues with Girish Joshi’s ‘Take Care Good Night’, some of them affect the film more adversely while some don’t but altogether ‘Take Care Good Night’ is a good film that deals with modern day parenting & the world of cyber crime.

Our recent films involving youth have made genuine efforts to figure out how exactly should we portray teenage-early 20s youth in our films. The communication gap between these youth & their parents has been a common theme of some recent Marathi films & successfully these films have managed to make their points. Take Care Good Night too belongs to this type. It succeeds in cracking the ‘gap’ part & the perspective of the parents but when it comes figuring out the youth, it only scratches the surface & nothing from beneath comes out.

The film builds up the conflict very effectively (even with the errors) in the first half & continues even better in the beginning of the second half, but at a sudden point we are welcomed by some interesting humour. We don’t mind it. Mahesh Manjrekar as the cyber cell cop is adorable from the word go & the tongue & cheek humour goes well with his character. The problem arises when the film itself deals with the conflict in a casual manner disregarding the seriousness it maintained from the beginning. This sudden change of tone & the abrupt conflict resolution affects the overall film adversely. The well known ‘second half syndrome’ most of the times concerns the conflict resolution as it does in this case.

However there are lots of things that work in favour of the film & are new to our audiences. The film has great potential to work with the modern day urban families as it will be extremely relatable, both from the lifestyle, cultural identification factor to the idea of a sudden financial crisis. The casualness or ease with which the conflict is resolved & the way it is looked at in hindsight by the characters harms the film. If that issue wasn’t there ‘Take Care Good Night’ could have been one of the must watch Marathi films of the year.

Girish Joshi is one of the seasoned & respected Marathi writers around. His direction too is smooth. There was certainly more scope to portray the youth characters in more depth & breaking the shackles that they are put in usually by our films. The performances are fine from the ensemble cast. After having a terrific 2017, Sachin Khedekar has created an aura around him of being exceptionally good & subtly perfect. This performance might not stand out as one of his bests but still he is very good. In the beginning we don’t find his performance believable but quickly he convinces us that this person exists. Irawati Harshe has a lot of screen time but doesn’t really get moments to shine, her character remains slightly lesser important. Mahesh Manjrekar & Perna Pethe stand out as the real performers who impress! Manjrekar was last seen as a cop in ‘Rege’, here he is equally effective yet completely different! Adinath Kothare too fits the character & does good job.

Overall:

‘Take Care Good Night’ definitely deserves one watch from our audiences most importantly for understanding what the film has to say. Today’s parents have to understand the need of communication & so does today’s youth & of course for the cyber crime issue.

There’s a whole new genre that has been coming into existence in films all around the world, one that is connected with the huge existence of internet & it’s relationship with today’s youth & even elders! ‘Take Care Good Night’ seems to be the first Marathi film in this newly developed genre! Directed by popular writer-actor Girish Joshi, this film has already garnered lots of appreciation in different film festivals.

Starring Sachin Khedekar as the father, Parna Pethe as the daughter, Iravati Harshe as the mother & Adinath Kothare in a surprise role this film seems to question the whole idea of ‘taking care’! Can we really take care of our loved ones when they are in deep trouble? This film is directed by the writer of the recent television thriller ‘Rudram’.

So for the fans of ‘thriller’ genre this will truly be a treat. Moreover the film is produced by Mahesh Manjrekar & also stars him in an important role. ‘Take Care Good Night’ releases in theatres from 31^st August! We are sure this film we initiate a new trend of thriller films in Marathi cinema!

Priyanka Chopra is currently a world icon in every way! She has been working as an actress in Hollywood for quite some time now. But we Marathi audiences are connected to Priyanka in very special way. Her first film as a producer under the company ‘Purple Pebble Pictures’ was Rajesh Mapuskar’s ‘Ventilator‘.

After that Priyanka backed another Marathi film ‘Kay Re Rascalaa’. And now in 2018 ‘Purple Pebble Pictures’ are presenting two more Marathi films one is a film titled ‘Firebrand’ by national award winning director Aruna Raje & the other is actor turned director Addinath Kothare’s ‘Paani’!

This is truly inspiring for so many artists who become stars! Priyanka Chopra keeps backing good regional content in India even after being very busy in US! We hope Addinath Kothare‘s ‘Pani’ & ‘Firebrand’ both become as successful as Priyanka’s first Marathi film ‘Ventilator’! Moreover Addinath Kothare following his father (& filmmaker) Mahesh Kothare’s footsteps & becoming a director too is an exciting news for Marathi fans.
