Bedhadak is an upcoming Marathi film that presents a completely new genre of sports movies in Marathi cinema. The new song ‘Damchak’ introduces us to the hero of the film who is shown going through the struggles and the hard works a competitive boxer would go through! The actor Girish Taware seems to be perfect for the part and so does Ashok Samarth who plays his trainer.

This hardcore training song makes us feel we as Marathi audiences now have our very own Rocky! The famous film character of boxer ‘Rocky Balboa’! It would be interesting to see how ‘Bedhadak’ presents boxing in the film.

This song is written and composed by Pravin Bandkar & sung by popular Bollywood singer Siddharth Mahadevan. This film is directed by Santosh Manjrekar and produced by Mandar Taware.

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!

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.

As 1 December is celebrated as World Aids Day, many events have been organized worldwide to create awareness of the disease. Marathi celebrities have also done their part. Various Marathi celebrities have given messages on social media platforms. Here are some celebrities telling us more about the disease.

We should have an open discussion about this subject: Shilpa Navalkar, Actress/Writer

We generally do not talk about AIDS openly. Though, media has been trying to create awareness about this disease, yet many people think, it is related to sex only. The schools have started sex education, but still the information about disease is very less. We have to remove this stigma.

AIDS should be a part of the education: Ashok Shinde, Actor.

Health is an important issue and AIDS should be a part of the school curriculum. As far entertainment industry is concerned, we have made several films on this subject. However, serials generally do not talk about such sensitive subject. Considering the reach of the TV medium, TV serials should focus on giving strong social messages.

People should be aware about this disease- Namrata Gaikwad, Acress.

Indians have created marvels like Khajuraho, yet we think that talking about sex is against our tradition. We should talk more openly about these things and every member of the society should be aware about this disease, how it spreads and what are the precautions they should take.

Government ads should be more effective: Suvrat Joshi, Actor.

The taboo on this subject should be removed and everyone should be able to speak more freely about it. The patient should get good treatment and the friends and family should support them. I had done a docu-diction called Dhoosar. The film talked about how the AIDS patient should treat themselves and what major role the family and peers of the patients play for such patients. The film was not about giving a strong message but more to generate awareness and create a dialogue in the society. Such efforts should be done repetitively so the taboo about AIDS will be gone from our mindset.
