Atumgiri is an upcoming Marathi film starring ‘Dhag’ fame national award winning child artist Hansraj Jagtap. Though now Hansraj has grown up & he plays the hero in ‘Itemgiri. The film has already created a lot of buzz among the audience especially because of the songs that have gone viral on social media.

During the shooting of a romantic scene between Hansraj Jagtap & Dhanashri Meshram, Hansraj was a little reluctant. He says that he had never hugged a girl before hence it was a little awkward. The directors even played the songs of the film to bring him in a romantic mood. But even that didn’t work. Finally the directors Pradeep Tonge, Mangesh Shendge had to do the scene themselves to show it to Hansraj.

After many retakes finally the 15th take of Hansraj hugging Dhanashri was perfect. Atumgiri also stars Fandry fame Rajeshwari Kharat, Milind Shinde & Chaya Kadam & is set to release on 9th June.

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.

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.
