Babanchi Shala Marathi Movie Review:

The thought behind the film Babanchi Shala is definitely progressive. It aims to raise questions about how effective our prisons are in reforming the inmates. The basic thought behind putting a person who has committed a crime behind bars is to punish him for his misdeed and as he is serving his sentence make him realise of his guilt, so that when he has completed his term he is hopefully a reformed man. However, our penitentiary system seldom manages to achieve this. Convicts who have served their sentence are banished by the society and also their loved ones. They are not reformed or moulded in a manner that can help them to again be a part of the society they once were.

Sayaji Shinde, a Marathi actor who has developed quite a name for himself in the Telugu film industry, plays the lead role here. He is a firebrand jailor, who has a firm grip over his prison. A no nonsense kind of a man, he doesn’t shy away from some nasty treatment to the inmates if they cross the line. He doesn’t find it necessary to connect emotionally with the inmates, until the addition of another inmate played by Shashank Shende. Shende’s character has committed a crime of passion, but is a rather compassionate person with a flair for poetry. He is unbearably pained for being separated from his little girl and expresses his pain in the form of a poem. The tough jailor is moved and he can relate with the pain of a father separated from his child, as his son too, who lives in a boarding school, has got into trouble involving drugs. This makes him realise that the inmates who have committed a crime of passion are not hardened criminals and they deserve a chance to get properly rehabilitated. He then goes on exercise a plan on those lines with a select few inmates.

Now, as I have mentioned before, the film has noble intentions. But the execution is shoddy, to put it mildly. The screenplay is such a mess that you are left wondering how anyone agreed to produce it in the first place. It meanders along in the first half, with nothing much happening apart from showing the crime committed by Shende’s character. The reformation process begins well into the second half. The direction is very ordinary and doesn’t lift the film from its below par script. Shashank Shende and Sayaji Shinde try their best, but can only do that much, given how poorly written characters they have. The film tests your patience and it becomes a task to sit through the entire film.

Overall:

The intentions of the filmmaker might be noble, but the portrayal is rather drab.

Story Outline :

The film revolves around Gauri (Gauri Gadgil), who is a special child for having Down’s Syndrome. Despite her condition, her mother (Mrinal Kulkarni) is hopeful of Gauri succeeding in life. But at the same time she is tensed and anxious about her future. Gauri’s father, however, is ashamed of her. After he rudely rejects her, Gauri’s mother breaks-up with him and relocates to her brother’s (Hrishikesh Joshi) place forever. Later on, Gauri’s life starts changing after she joins a ‘special’ school and slowly develops an interest towards swimming.

Review :

A film revolving around a patient suffering from Down’s Syndrome obviously sounds depressing or, at least, too serious. But it takes director Manish Limaye’s just first effort Yellow  to prove that even a film dealing with such a subject can be told through continuous flow of delightful and humorous moments. But having said this, it also does complete justice to the subject by being an inspiration for its sufferers and their parents.

To talk about the plus points, they are aplenty. In fact, Yellow  is one of the rarest films to score brownie points in every department. Talking about the writing, Kshitij Hitendra Thakur, Ambar Hadap and Ganesh Pandit have achieved brilliance. To narrate a story of a child suffering with such condition in such a light-hearted manner while making sure the focus isn’t shifted even a bit is something special. The conflict aspect later on too is interesting.

But the subject is such that it requires some skillful and mature handling by the captain of the ship and that is exactly what Manish Limaye does. And to see him carry out such a task in his very first film as a director is a remarkable achievement. Although it is difficult to list down few memorable moments, Gauri’s scenes with her uncle and coach (Upendra Limaye) deserve special mention.

It is very difficult to find a flaw from Yellow. You can only point out that the tragedy fallen upon a cameo character should’ve been avoided as that sub-plot gets no place later on. Also, the film could have been told in a shorter duration.

The song ‘Special’, sung by Apeksha Dandekar and composed by Kaushal Inamdar, is soulful and it perfectly suits the subject. Inamdar’s background score too invokes the right effect. Manish Limaye has shown his skills as a cinematographer too, especially during the swimming competition scenes.

The film rides high on performances. Gauri Gadgil is outstandingly heartwarming! She had a very difficult task but she carries it out effortlessly. The girl playing the younger Gauri too is excellent. Upendra Limaye displays his acting prowess in a first-rate performance. It is also good to see him play a non-rural character for a change. Mrinal Kulkarni gives a performance that moves you.

Hrishikesh Joshi is just lovable due to the comic timing he brings in even during serious moments. Manoj Joshi brings in the right emotions while playing Gauri’s father. Aishwarya Narkar too plays her part well. Usha Nadkarni is excellent in a cameo.

Overall :

Yellow  is simply a must-watch. It has the potential of being a box office winner. With the makers providing English subtitles, the non-Marathi crowd too will chip in once the word spreads.

One day, a very crucial day in their career, Shabbir does not arrive on time, and when he does, their cab is stuck in a major traffic jam on the highway. The already irate and anxious passengers decide to let Shabbir try an alternate route to the IT Park that will take them through remote villages. But almost as soon as they break from routine and start on this journey, a series of life-altering incidents (and a fakir who challenges them to take time in their own hands), inspires them to change their perspective of life itself.

Story :

This is a story of two little boys who are brothers and belong to an underprivileged part of the society, where there is a constant struggle to keep up with the basic needs of everyday living.

They live in a family where the mother and father, in spite of their daily struggle and short-comings strongly encourage their children to get education, and in response the children stand strong and worthy on their parents’ efforts and show a lot of enthusiasm towards their schooling.

The future of the boys looks very promising to the parents, who see the realization of their dreams in their child’s education. But unfortunately fate deals its own cards, where it presents the players very little options to win. The boys are put through tests by life by presenting them with unprecedented situations, challenges and storms. But the boys’ undaunted determination to acquire knowledge through schooling and achieving their goals makes them the CHAMPIONS of life.

Looking at the larger picture of many more similar children around, the situation demands strong attention. In the course of the story we also put some light on the problems of child labour and the education of street children.

According to surveys obtained, the number of students in Municipal schools is descending at an alarming rate. Statistics tells that only 40 to 50 students appear for SSC among the 100 students that take admission in the first grade.

Here is an inspiring story of the relentless efforts of the two brothers who turn up to be the CHAMPIONS of real life.
