2017 has been a different year! Different because the whole Film industry has seen extreme peak points with success of Bahubali 2 & Dangal! The other film industries with ease proved that their films are full proof from all kinds of social political changes that are happening in our country. Sadly that’s not the case with Marathi cinema. Our films have been affected by these changes for sure. Apart from a few exceptions our films haven’t really worked on the box office. But the better news is that our audiences have still backed few good works that came out in 2017 so far, in the first half.

5. Braveheart

Though Braveheart was not technically perfect, it had a powerful soul in it’s story. The real life inspiring story of Nikhil Karkhanis who fights a deadly disease without losing hope or losing his love for life! The strongest aspect of Braveheart was Sangram Samel’s performance as Nikhil & the chemistry he shared with his father portrayed by Arun Nalawade.

4. Chi Va Chi Sau Ka

Romcom as a genre has been lately been explored too often by Marathi cinema. But Paresh Mokashi and co-writer Madhugandha Kulkarni give this love story a fresh spin by incorporating a unique twist in the tale. Lalit Prabahakar and Mrunmayee Godbole share a warm chemistry that makes their characters and performances even more relatable.

3. Ti Saddhya Kay Karte

Satish Rajwade’s Ti Saddhya Kay Karte gave a solid beginning to 2017 for Marathi cinema. A unique rom com that didn’t follow any set pattern. Ankush Chaudhari’s performance both as an actor & narrator lifted the whole calibre of the film. Though debutants Aarya Ambekar & Abhinay Berde could have been better the film still entertained us thoroughly. Not to forget a refreshing performance by Tejashri Pradhan.

2. Muramba

Another fantastic take on the Rom Com genre. But debutant director Varun Narvekar’s Muramba was beyond just that. It was a family drama set in today’s time, today’s sensibilities. Varun proved that a good script, systematic approach to the craft & using the aesthetics of cinema visually & through music is enough for the audiences to love your film. A huge budget is not a necessity. The film relied equally on the shoulders of the cast Amey Wagh, Mithila Palkar, Sachin Khedekar & Chinmayee Sumeet who gave literally perfect performances.

1. Ringan

The best Marathi film of 2017 so far & probably the best Marathi film in recent years of Marathi cinema. Ringan’s strongest aspect was it’s simplicity. In the plot, in the treatment & in the performances. Shashank Shende & the little Sahil Joshi as father & son showed heartfelt chemistry. Director Makarand Mane’s clarity of his intentions can also be credited in the success of Ringan. The holy city of Pandharpur has a connect with us & Ringan reinstated our belief in it & strengthened the positivity within us.

Paresh Mokashi directorial, Zee Studios’ ‘Chi Va Chi SauKa’ continues to interest us about the film through the different teasers, trailers & now with the title song. Sung by popular Hindi singer & lyricist Swanand Kirkire, composed by Narendra Bhide & written by Paresh Mokashi himself, this title song symbolizes the actual soul of the film so perfectly.

There are so many things happening in this song, whether it’s is unique rhythm or sound of the song or whether it’s the video that introduces us in many chaotically funny incidents & situations of the film. If at all someone was in a doubt to watch this film or not, this title song must have cleared all the confusion & would have made this film a must watch.

The unique leading pair of Lalit Prabhakar & Mrunmayee Godbole & the rest of the cast look perfect in their parts. Technically too ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ looks of high quality. This video has already got many hits & many audiences would have seen it repeatedly as they definitely miss out many things in just one watch.

Paresh Mokashi mixed an interesting scientific perspective in his last film ‘Elizabeth Ekadashi’. And this time too, he seems to be using the science part as an important element to the story. However, beyond this Chi Va Chi Sau Ka definitely appears to redefine how our films have been portraying the institution of marriage for years.

We were introduced to Satyaprakash (Lalit Prabhakar) & Savitri (Mrinmayee Godbole) in the previous teasers of the film, but now this trailer gives more insights about these characters & they don’t appear mere caricatures. The film has a flavor of a slightly slapstick family comedy, but it definitely seems to have a point.

The changing idea of marriage & love in our world today needs to be given a perspective through our films & this new Zee Studios’ film definitely seems to be on the right track.

As usual Zee have preferred letting out the trailer just a few weeks before the film release, but we are sure that this trailer has everything that could attract today’s Marathi audience towards the film. Chi Va Chi Sau Ka releases all over Maharashtra from 19th May!

The first real teaser of Zee Studios’ ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka‘ is finally out. And this time it has clearly let us into the plot of the film. The boy ‘Solar Putra’ (Lalit Prabhakar) actually runs a business of installing Solar panels & the girl ‘Veg Kanya’ (Mrinmayee Godbole) is actually passionate about animals. She even left her MBBS seat & instead became a ‘Vet’ (Doctor of Animals).

But the real twist seems to be how this film deals with the supporting cast. Whenever an arranged marriage is fixed both families matter & everyone’s opinion & views are being bombarded. The same picture can be seen in this teaser.

Directed by ‘Harishchandrachi Factory’ & ‘Elizabeth Ekadashi’ fame director Paresh Mokashi ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ seems to deal with two individuals who have chosen strange career paths & this definitely is an aspect that’ll be important in the narrative of the film.

‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ releases on 19th May so make sure you watch this family entertainer with your whole family.

Zee Studios’ upcoming Marathi film ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ directed by Paresh Mokashi is already the most awaited Marathi film currently. First they hinted us about the lead star cast, later revealed Lalit Prabhakar as ‘Solarputra’ & Mrinmayee Godbole as ‘Vegkanya’. If this was not enough recently they also introduced the rest of the fantastic star cast through a unique, funky & stylized motion poster.

In this poster we can notice many other Marathi actors as one of the 10 heads! Starting from Jyoti Subhash, Pradeep Joshi, Supriya Pathare to Bharat Ganeshpure, Sharmishtha Raut, Pushkar Lonarkar & others. Apart from these characters this poster also includes robots & different sorts of animals! It definitely says so much about the madness this unique romantic comedy will explore!

Paresh Mokashi is one of the few Marathi filmmakers who hasn’t made a bad film & has a great following among the movie fans. Now with the solid backing of Zee Studios he is ready to enter into a different style of story-telling with ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ that is set to hit the theaters soon.

Zee Studios presents Paresh Mokashi’s ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’ recently distributed exclusive wedding invitations to the entire Maharashtra! Confused? Well this wedding invitation is nothing but the first teaser of ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’.

Bharat Ganeshpure aka ‘Bramha Dev’ is inviting us for this roller coaster of a wedding ceremony. This little teaser has definitely created a lot of curiosity among Marathi film fans. This film seems to be a true blue laugh ride, a genre that is very close to our hearts. And we haven’t had a really rocking comedy from a long-long time in Marathi now.

Lalit Prabhakar as ‘Solarputra’ & Mrinmayee Godbole as ‘Vegkanya’ seems to be the right choices for these roles. Both of them have great comic timing & are yet fresh faces in films. Paresh Mokashi is one of Marathi’s most loved & respected directors & for the first time he seems to venturing into a completely new genre. Under the strong backing by Zee Studios & Nikhil Sane, Chi Va Chi Sau Ka is definitely promising enough to set new milestones in Marathi cinema.

A few days back Marathi cinema got rejuvenated by simply the announcement of new Zee Studios’ film, director Paresh Mokashi’s (of Harishchandrachi Factory & Elizabeth Ekadashi fame) ‘Chi Va Chi Sau Ka’.

The first teaser poster didn’t reveal who will be playing the lead characters ‘Solarputra’ & ‘Vegkanya’. Now after a few days the star cast has finally been revealed. ‘Julun Yeti Reshim Gathi’ fame Lalit Prabhakar will be ‘Solarputra’ & the ‘Vegkanya’ is ‘Rajwade & Sons’ fame Mrinmayee Godbole!

This is one interesting pair for sure. This will be the big screen debut for Lalit, while Mrinmayee for the first time will be playing the lead in an important commercial entertainer. Mrinmayee has previously done films like ’20 Mhanje 20’, ‘Rajwade & Sons’ & another upcoming film ‘CRD’. Both Lalit & Mrinmayee have been trained in theatre & have been a part of many experimental plays.

It’ll be exciting to sse how their chemistry works out under the assured direction of Paresh Mokashi & the backing of Zee Studios!
