Produced by Mandar Taware under the banner ‘Rahi Productions’ & directed by Santosh Manjrekar ‘Bedhadak‘ is an upcoming Marathi film that presents the world of boxing in Marathi for the first time! The ‘Kombda’ song from the film was recently revealed on social media & since then it’s been getting great response from the audiences.

The film stars Girish Tawarae in the lead & experienced actors like Ashok Samarth & Ganesh Yadav in important roles. Normally we have seen the use of ‘Kombda’ metaphor in a different double meaning way but here the case is different, this song instead uses the whole idiom connected to ‘Kombda’!

Moreover this song also seems to be an integral part of the narrative of the film which takes the story forward. We can see that the protagonist is going through some kind of mental struggle & is trying to say that he won’t listen to others who think is good for nothing!

Rahi Productions’ presents ‘Bedhadak‘ directed by Santosh Manjrekar & produced by Mandar Govind Taware is an upcoming Marathi film that deals with the world of Boxing. The film stars debutant Girish Taware as a young man who wishes to be a boxer! And who is ready to struggle for his dream.

The film also stars Namrata Gaikwad, Ganesh Yadav & Ashok Samarth. The first official trailer of the film went online today & it introduces us to the journey of a unique protagonist. Girish Taware suits the part well because of his fitness. It would be interesting to see how the audiences would react to this new Marathi hero.

The boxing in the film too looks very grand & realistic. We haven’t seen a Marathi film on boxing or even any other athletic sport for a long time. The subject of the film also deals with how we underrate sports over studies. We need to understand that every person can’t be good at studies & a person should follow his/her heart to become truly successful.

Vikram Gaikwad is a hugely talented actor who hasn’t really got many opportunities after the super successful Zee Marathi serial ‘Unch Maza Zoka’. He was seen in films like ‘Dr. Prakash Baba Amte’ & ‘Lapachhapi’ recently but wasn’t recognised or acknowledged for his performance. He has also done a play written & directed by senior Marathi writer-playwright Ratnakar Matkari, ‘Indira’.

Now he is making a rocking comeback in a role which seems to be tailor made for him. He will be playing a boxer in the Santosh Manjrekar directorial ‘Bedhadak – Samanya Swapnancha..Asamanya Pathlag’. Vikram had won the Fear Factor Marathi show a few years back & had proved what a tough guy he is! Hence it would be exciting to see him as a boxer.

Presented by Rahi Productions ‘Bedhadak’ is produced by Mandar Govind Taware. This film is set to release in theatres on 1^st June. The official poster of the film was recently revealded on social media by the makers of the film. We can instantly connect with Vikram’s portrayal of a boxer through this poster! ‘Bedhadak’ joins a new wave of Marathi cinema that is inclined towards sports in recent times!

Marathi cinema has a unique genre that is only seen in our films. The films that have a backdrop of ‘Tamasha’, are popularly known as ‘Tamashapat’. From the golden age of Marathi cinema in 50s & 60s to later in 70s & 80s countless Tamashapats have entertained our audiences.

Ti Ani Itar Marathi Movie Review :

Adapting a play into a film is always tricky! Many a times the story has the potential of a film within it, but very few times the makers manage to explore that potential. Among the many play to film adaptations in Marathi of recent times ‘Lalbaug Parel’ (adapted from Adhantar) & ‘Katyar Kaljat Ghusali’ could be considered to be successful to some extent in exploring this potential. But in the first place these plays had that kind of canvas, which would suit a film. Even a play like ‘Natsamrat’ had that canvas. But ‘Lights Out’ (from which ‘Ti Ani Itar’ is adapted) seems to be a play that is strictly a play and doesn’t really give much scope for its canvas to be expanded for a film.  

Hence it becomes obligatory for ‘Ti Ani Itar’ to be in the same compact ‘play like’ form to keep the soul of the story & its commentary intact. This film is directed by one of the most respected Indian filmmakers Govind Nihalani. Nihalani started out being a cinematographer & most of the times shot his directorials himself alike ‘Ti Ani Itar’. The point is that even after being a cinematographer Govind Nihalani’s films have always been ‘compact’.

The story is simple & takes place in a couple of hours. Anirudh Godbole (Subodh Bhave) & Naina Godbole (Sonali Kulkarni) belong to the upper class & live in a lavish flat. They have two little daughters. They have arranged a small get together for a few close friends (Amruta Subhash, Bhushan Pradhan, Priya Marathe & Avishkar Darwhekar) for celebrating the launch of Naina’s (who is a singer) latest music album. In the midst of that, suddenly they start hearing a girl screaming. Naina & Anirudh reveals that this screaming has been happening for a couple of weeks now!

At this point we as audiences expect an immediate action. Amruta Subhash portrays a responsible journalist, & many a times our expectations are mentioned by her character. But the point this film tries to make can’t be made if there’s an immediate action! This restlessness that we undergo as viewers is the basic aim of this story! Well it might be immensely effective on stage, it still works reasonably well on the screen too. Post interval the film takes a more intense dramatic turn. And surprisingly the acting is not at all theatrical or dramatic! Subodh Bhave in particular gives a well controlled yet intense performance throughout. The whole of second half works purely on two things first the basic strength of the original story & second of course the performances. But overall the film isn’t error free.

So one of the errors of ‘Ti Ani Itar’ is the fact that the original play was on the lines of ‘absurd theatre’, where what we see is not really ‘reality’. It’s a setup to say certain things. Many of what we see can’t be taken literally. It has a different meaning ‘metaphorically’. But in the first half of ‘Ti Ani Itar’ this metaphoric setting of the play disrupts the cinematic sense of the film. There was definitely a scope to ‘show’ certain things!

Secondly throughout first half as well as second, there’s almost no use of light! The whole film almost works one stock light. The film doesn’t acknowledge the fact that natural light can really be used to bring an important visual dimension to the film.

Overall:

Yes ‘Ti Ani Itar’ is basically a play that doesn’t quite justify it’s ‘film’ adaptation, but its one hell of an impactful experience. Those who like morally confusing ‘food for thought’ ‘Ti Ani Itar’ is definitely a must watch as there isn’t any available medium to watch this story on stage.

After being an actor, director, producer, presenter and music composer, Sachin has donned another cap as a poet. He has taken a pen name “Shafaq” for this new role.
