Bharat Jadhav started his acting career on stage & T.V. & later he went on to become the superstar of our films.

Whenever Kedar Shinde, Bharat Jadhav and Ankush Chaudhari has teamed up for a project, a brilliant art is born. Right from All The Best to recently released Aga Bai Arechya 2, the group has been successful to give box office hits. The trio will be soon working together once again in a film called Kalla. The film will also star Siddharth Jadhav and Alka Kubal.

Recently, Siddharth Jadhav tweeted about this film in one line “Marutatmaj Mera Naam, Superhero banana mera kaam”. Though this does not clearly tell us anything about the film, yet we can surely tell that this will be another comedy film by Kedar. Bharat, Ankush and Siddharth have given us many comedy hits in the past. Bharat’s Punha Sahi re Sahi (directed by Kedar) has been doing fantastically on the stage.

The film also stars Alka Kubal in a different role. Alka has been away from the screen for many years and her comeback film will be anticipated by the audience. Kalla produced under the banner Bharat Jadhav Entertainment Private Limited.

Review:

Chiranjiv starts with a disclaimer that goes something on the lines of ‘ This film does not support any superstitions, but is raising a case against it.’ Now, just the fact that this disclaimer has been added is an ominous sign that it has failed to achieve what it had set out to.

The film is about a family in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, who have supposedly been cursed with at least one of the male members of every generation of their family losing their mind. The film begins with the youngest member of their family winning a Sahitya Akademi award for his book titled ‘Chiranjiv’. The film goes into a flashback which is also supposedly what the story of the novel is.

The plot which is based in the 1980s of rural Maharashtra also seems to belong to that rather forgettable era of puerile melodramas. In the film, we have Ganya Kaka (Ravi Kale) who has been chained and locked into the loft as the aforementioned curse has supposedly made him lose his mind. After he commits suicide, the family, which has blind faith in superstitions, is shown to be worried who the curse will pass on to. Within a day after Ganya Kaka’s death, his nephew, Keshav (Bharat Jadhav) wakes up startled from a nightmare. This episode makes the family fear that the curse has been passed on to Keshav. After consulting a fraud fortune teller, the family starts to believe in the curse and also the social circle in which Keshav hangs around. The film attempts to portray how a society that has blind faith in superstitions can make the sanest of mind insane.

The film then goes on to milk the melodrama in the plot. The second half shows the downward spiral of Keshav into insanity. The idea here was to show how a society steeped in superstitions and blind faith can turn a sane mane into an insane one. However, the scenes are so clichéd and the treatment so loud that you are left wondering what the makers of the film were exactly trying to do here. The staging of the scenes is quite poor and the amateurish acting by some of the supporting actors does not help either. The only opposition to the evil act shown in the film is by Keshav’s brother. But the character is so shoddily written that it irritatingly flip flops from supporting superstitions in one scene and opposing them in the next.

The director Ramesh More, who has previous made films like Amhi Ka Tisre and Champions, had a decent cast at his disposal with actors like Kishore Kadam, Bharat Jadhav and Alka Athalye. However, the bizarre plot, inferior screenplay and loud direction blunts any impact their performances could have made.

Overall :

Chiranjiv is a film that belongs to the 1980s, much like the period it is based in. It is unbearably melodramatic with a plot that borders on being ridiculous. It totally fails to raise any sort of a case against blind faith in superstitions.

Gajendra Ahire is one of the most talented and prolific of Marathi film directors having given us classics like ‘Not Only Mrs.Raut’, ‘Neelkanth Master’, etc. and now his most ambitious film ‘Shasan’ is set for release and we caught up with the director to know more about his new film.

How did you conceptualize ‘Shasan’?

I wanted to make a film based on the background of politics and when I got this script based on the happenings in state politics for the last six months or so, I got my script ready to film and I shot this film within no time.

How did you cast for the film?

I had the characters in mind and when I started thinking about them, the names and faces came easily to my mind like Jitendra Joshi and Manva Naik in the lead roles along with Bharat Jadhav and Makarand Anaspure in leading character artiste roles and my casting was complete. And I must say that all my actors have done a fabulous job and the film is looking great.

Where has the film been shot?

Basically the film has been shot in various locales of Mumbai, Pune and other interior of Maharashtra locations.

Has the film been shown in festivals?

That is totally the producers call and I have no say in the matter.

You are such a prolific director having made more than 40 films? How do you manage it?

Nothing at all. I consider it as my job and set myself like doing it a daily job and not as something just as a lark.

What’s next?

I have a film called ‘Silence’ coming up.
