Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar Marathi Movie Review :

First things first, a film that actually has a tale to tell wins half the battle. Though story telling is no longer the most important element of modern cinema, it’s still a bare essential for our commercial films. That’s what the audience look for in Marathi films. They need a well-rounded story that keeps them hooked. They need familiarity, emotions, a few laughs & well an inspiring social commentary in the end. And BKMK succeeds on all these fronts to much extent.

The audiences don’t really carry any external instrument that keeps checking the logic or measures the authenticity throughout the runtime, so most of the times these errors don’t affect the entertainment quotient of a commercial film. BKMK is a genuinely well-made commercial film along with these errors.  

The story belongs to Nanasaheb (Jitu Joshi), Panda (Aniket Vishwasrao) & Shiva (Akshay Tanksale). Nanasaheb is a simple-minded man-child of sorts, passionate about Chhatrapati Shivaji, Sarpanch of the village & has a blueprint ready for the beautification of Maharaj’s forts & through that development of nearby villages. Panda is his friend cum comrade cum right hand. Panda is in it for his personal benefits & dreams of becoming a Sarpanch. But for that Nanasaheb has to elevate himself from being a Sarpanch to an MLA. Shiva is in it to shine in front of the villagers & to marry his love interest (Parna Pethe), the sister of our villain Samrat Patil (Dhome himself).

To get that MLA ticket, Nansaheb has to pull off an extraordinary stunt. That stunt has been revealed in trailer, but we don’t prefer mentioning it. Let’s say it sounds completely silly & childish. But till that moment we are bought into this silliness. Because it’s not silly to Nanasaheb! All three of them travel to London to pull off this stunt. Do they succeed in it? Well it’s not a mystery film & we all know the answer.   

The voice over that we hear in the trailer suggested this film will definitely be straight forwardly preachy. But thankfully that’s not the case. It’s not outright preachy. But it has an opinion, a very specific one, and yes it also takes sides, but all that by using characters & incidents. I wish none of the characters had surnames. The end is pretty obvious & could have been presented differently.   

Aniket Vishwasrao gave the breakthrough performance of his career in last year’s ‘Poshter Girl’. He couldn’t repeat that emotional impact here, but he’s decent. Parna Pethe manages to stand out even in a less significant role! The rest (that include Akshay Tanksale, Hemant Dhome, Neha Joshi, Shrikant Yadav, Ashwini Kalsekar, Rasika Sunil, Anant Jog & Vikram Gokhale) are good too, but the soul of this film lies with Jitu’s Nanasaheb. He is idealistic, simplistic, untouched by the politics of his world, though his character should have established before the actual story starts. That could’ve increased our emotional attachment with him.

Hemant Dhome has written a few films before, but this is his directorial debut & he has done a considerably good job. The film doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not &it’s pretty firm in what it wants to tell. All this is easier to write but difficult to execute. Dhome succeeds in the execution. The time of it’s release makes the subject & the message even more relevant.

BKMK could’ve been a better film had it worked more on the logic part. Nevertheless it’s message is important & deserves recognition from film lovers, political activists, social workers & followers of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Overall:

After ‘Ti Saddhya…’ The Marathi film fraternity has brought another decent entertainer for the audiences in 2017. The ball is in now in our court! & we need to respond in big numbers!

In the past few years we have seen Bollywood music getting transformed. The ‘Rap’ songs have now become an integral part of Hindi films, even Marathi films is reflecting that! Many songs in Marathi too have used ‘Rap’ in parts, but now for the first time Marathi producer & rapper Shreyas Jadhav is introducing a complete ‘Rap’ song in Marathi.

Shreyas’ ‘Rap’ parts in his production ‘Online Binline’ movie song ‘O Ho Kay Jhala’ became hugely popular. People still love this song made by Leslie Lewis in which Shreyas gave am additional ‘Rap’ twist. But now Shreyas has come up with an entire Marathi ‘Rap’ song titled ‘Pune Rap’. This song is a tribute to the great city of Pune & is shot at the historical ‘Shaniwar Wada’.

Lyrics of ‘Pune Rap’ are written by Vaibhav Joshi, & it is composed by Hrishikesh, Saurabh & Jasraj Joshi! This song will be presented under the ‘Everest Entertainment’ & ‘Ganraj Production’ banners & is set to create a different path in Marathi music.

Along with his works as a rapper, Shreyas Jadhav is also going great with his production house. Soon two highly awaited Marathi films ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar‘ & ‘Bus Stop‘ are releasing under his banner. Both these films have a great star cast & the audiences are excited to watch them.

Very recently PM Narendra Modi attended the ‘Bhumi Pujan’ of a grand Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Statue in Mumbai. Since then many contrasting views have been put forth through different forms of social media. Many have asked the question of what is important, such statues or the preservation & protection of the existing forts of Maharaj? ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’ is a film that puts light on this confusion & also talks about how dirty politics is played using the name of Shivaji Maharaj.

Recently the trailer launch event of ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’ was held at Pune’s Sinhgad Fort. This is the first time that a trailer launch event of a Marathi film was held at a fort & that too in the presence of common people.

This film is written & directed by popular actor & ‘Poshter Girl’ fame writer Hemant Dhome. ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’ is produced under the banners ‘Everest Entertainment’ & ‘Ganraj productions’. This trailer launch function was attended by producers Gopal Taywade, Vaishnavi Jadhav, Sanjay Chabria, director Hemant Dhome, actors Jitendra Joshi, Aniket Vishwasrao, Akshay Tanksale, Parna Pethe, Neha Joshi, Rasika Sunil, composer Amitraj, lyricist Kshitij Patwardhan, editor Faizal Mahadik & others. Moreover representatives of over 22 different organizations who believe in the importance of these historical forts were present.

Jitu Joshi spoke about how it’s important to understand that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj were people’s king & belonged to everyone of any caste or religion. Director Hemant Dhome said there are many youngsters like him & ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’ team who believe in the history of Maharaj & understand the need to protect & preserve Maharaj’s forts!

How often does a film speak on an extremely important social issue just when the time is right! Hemant Dhome’s directorial debut has managed to strike this timing. Just when a huge Shivaji Maharaj statue has been announced & it’s work has been inaugurated here comes a Marathi film that asks the essential question.

What is more important, A newly constructed statue worth thousands of Crores or preserving the existing historical monuments that reflect the greatness of the great Shivaji Maharaj? The trailer of ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’ establishes this morally confusing question.

A strong star cast of Jitendra Joshi, Aniket Vishwasrao, Akshay Tanksale, Vikram Gokhale & others, a splendid visual quality, inspiring music & a theme that can touch hearts of one & all! ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’ promises so much through this trailer. By the end of the trailer we are surprised to see the three heroes in abroad, supposedly London! What could it be? Why have they gone there? Well as of now we can only make speculations until this grand, socially aware Marathi film releases in theatres.

Hemant Dhome gave us a refreshing social comedy ‘Poshter Girl’ as a writer & actor earlier in 2016. Now soon in the beginning of 2017, he’s bringing us his directorial debut ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’. The title song of this film was released on the social media & it’s already got many hits & likes.

The title track works as a sneak-peak into this film as well. Jitendra Joshi, Aniket Vishwasrao & Akshay Tanksale are three leads & of course the great forts or ‘Gads’ of Shivaji Maharaj is also important character in this film. The song complements the visuals fantastically in this video & vice-versa.

The inspiring lyrics of this song are written by popular writrer kshitij Patwardhan & the song is composed by Amit Raj. The voice that steers directly into our heart belongs to the new music sensation Siddharth Mahadevan. This song works as an introspective for all the people of Maharashtra as the bad condition of Shivaji Maharaj’s forts is brought into limelight through this song & the film.

The last dialogue at the end of this video by Jitendra Joshi will definitely strike a chord with you. Enjoy this song till February 2017 when ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra kar’ is slotted for release!

Hemant Dhome, a popular actor has proved his flair in writing in films like Poshter Girl. He has donned a director’s hat for the first time and the teaser-trailer of his “Baghtos Kay Mujra kar” is out!

The teaser tells us about three friends roaming in the forts of Maharashtra and the deteriorating condition of these proud monuments. The three friends are also in awe of preservation of history by the westerners. The friends decide to do something about how the forts of Maharashtra can be preserved.

The teaser has been brilliantly cut with a superb montage shot of various Maharashtra forts. The shots have been captured amazingly by Milind Jog. The editing of the film is done by Imran Faisal. Thought the cast of the film is not shown clearly in the trailer, we can assure you that talented actor Jitendra Joshi and Hemant Dhome are part of this film.

‘Baghtos Kaay Mujra Kar’ has been produced by Shreyas Jadhav and Gopal Patil of Ganraj Associates that had produced Online Binline last year. The lyrics have been penned by Kshitij Patwardhan and music has been composed by Amitraj. The film will be one of the most anticipated films of 2016.

2016 seems to be the year in which Hemant Dhome will make his presence felt in the Marathi film industry. Hemant has been a popular actor courtesy his presence on TV in a number of comedy shows. He has also shown his flair for writing. This year’s Poster Girl was loved by its target audience and Hemant’s screenplay had a major role to play in it. The humour in the dialogues had the audience in splits. Now, after tasting success as an actor and screenwriter Hemant is now directing a film titled ‘Baghtos Kay Mujra Kar’.

From the title and the poster it is quite apparent the film would be about the most loved personality of Maharashtra – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! Now, not much is known about the film as the shooting is still in progress but you cannot deny that we haven’t seen in the recent past a good solid film on the Janta Raja.

‘Baghtos Kaay Mujra Kar’ has been produced by Shreyas Jadhav and Gopal Patil of Ganraj Associates that had produced Online Binline last year. As mentioned before it has been directed by Hemant Dhome.

Here’s wishing them all the best for their film!
